Candles – let there be light

What do you see when you open the newspapers? Or surf the internet? Or for that matter, go out on the streets? The world around us is becoming a very dark place to live in. There is too much negativity, pessimism and a general sense of hopelessness that seems to surround us, engulf us and devour us. It seems as if time has spewed a dark web and we are getting entangled in it no matter how hard we try to fight. Crime, both political and social, is on the rise. Misappropriation and embezzlement of public money are common affairs. Bribery has become the order of the day, from getting a simple file passed to getting away lightly after a major traffic violation. 

Coupled with sedentary lifestyles in urban and semi-urban areas, we have managed to live in all this darkness and even somehow gotten habituated to it. So, what can you do to eliminate some of the eclipse?

Get some candles from Floralis and illuminate more than just your rooms. Take for example our Luminary candle. Or the Mottle candle. They not only light up your personal spaces but also add to the interior décor of your home. You can also try our Square candles. These have beautiful artwork and embellishments on them which help you make a statement in front of visitors. Then there are Moonlight candles that have been specifically crafted keeping modern sensibilities in mind. All Floralis candles are high on aesthetic values and complement different interior settings – from the traditional to the contemporary and from the artistic to the minimalistic. That’s why you don’t have to worry about your candles interfering with the overall look and feel of your haven. Moreover, we use quality wicks which light up easily with minimum fuss. Even if things look bleak on the outside, rest assured there is something bright to look forward to back home.

Looking for a suitable gift for your friend’s housewarming? Or are you still confused what to gift your cousin on her birthday? Fret no more because you don’t have to look any further. At Floralis, we are always trying to make gifting fun; and quick as well. With Express Delivery, your loved ones will open your gifts the same day you order them.

Monsoons are here !!

Monsoon

Who doesn’t love the smell of wet soil after the first rain? Or how everything looks so fresh, vibrant and clean after a downpour? Monsoons have always been associated with a lot of things – umbrellas, raincoats, paper boats, water logging, slow traffic, hot pakoras and yummy khichdi. The ideal way to spend a rainy day is lazing around in the house with a book and a steaming cup of tea or coffee. Forget television: it’s the perfect time to relive the golden era of Indian film music with the likes of Mukesh, Mohammad Rafi, Kishore Kumar, Manna Dey, Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhonsle on radio or music records. 

This year, the monsoons have arrived on time. Kerala, on the southern coast, received its first rains of the season on Saturday, June 1. The Indian Meteorological Department also confirmed that large parts of adjoining Tamil Nadu witnessed rains, reinforcing the fact that the monsoon is finally upon us. Last year, the monsoon came to Kerala four days after the June 1 forecast. But it was a good season, with bumper harvests, especially of rice, cotton and sugar. Surplus production of cotton led to robust exports while sugar output exceeded demand. Other parts of India will experience the rainy season by the second week of June. 

The best thing to do when it pours is to do nothing at all. We owe it to ourselves to slow down a bit, to savor the little joys of life and stop running. Everything can wait - deadlines, work and clients. It’s perfectly fine to take out a few moments from your hectic schedules for yourself. And a rainy day is the perfect excuse. When you stop racing against the clock for once, you begin to realize what you’ve been missing out on. It’s spending time with your loved ones. You want to be home with your family, enjoying quality time with them rather than just eating together at the dinner table every night. Then there are times when you come home so late that you have to eat alone. 

At Floralis, we understand that it’s not always possible to be with your near and dear ones all the time. That’s why we have carefully selected a wide range of gifts and novelties for you to show how much you care. Even when it’s raining outside, you can shop inside! Choose from our collection of fresh flowers, bouquets, assorted chocolates, irresistible combos, cakes, candles, dried flowers, vases and a bevy of home décor items. Each product is unique – it’ll make the recipient feel more special while show your thoughtfulness at the same time. Imagine it’s a rainy day, your special someone is at home looking outside the window and the doorbell rings. She opens the door only to be greeted with a bunch of fresh flowers, a box of the finest chocolates and a cute teddy. Won’t it make her day? Start shopping at Floralis now!

Decorate your Homes

Home Décor

Artificial flowers

You know that fresh, natural flowers are a source of instant joy and can make the recipient feel on top of the world. But there are artificial flowers as well which are great for your home and can lend that aura of natural beauty to your interior spaces. One very distinct advantage artificial flowers have over their natural counterparts is their longer shelf life. Unlike natural flowers which can wilt and die if not taken proper care of, artificial flowers and floral arrangements can last for months on end with very low maintenance.

Dried Flowers

Dried flowers have been a huge hit with Indian customers. Floralis is one of the largest suppliers of dried flowers in the country with a large volume being exported to Europe and the United States of America. They can be decorated with other plants and shrubs to create beautiful home décor items and you’ll find a large variety of them at our online and offline stores. 

Glitter Flowers

Floralis is proud to present an exciting range of glitter flowers for the modern home. These flowers add a touch of style and you can get really creative with this product. It’s flexible enough to adorn your living room as well as make your little angel’s room even more beautiful. They are now available to order online. You can also check them out in our outlets in Kolkata and Bengaluru. 

Mats & Wall Hangings

As a complete home décor store, Floralis keeps your walls in mind too. Often, in a bid to make the rooms contemporary and stylish, we get confused what to do with the walls. Too little and they would feel barren; and if you try to put too much into one side, it feels forced and cluttered. That’s why we now feature a variety of wall hangings to suit different themes and add elegance to your rooms without going overboard. We also have a range of mats in different materials and sizes to suit myriad requirements. 

Candle Holders

Every once in a while, you must have felt the need for a candle stand to support the candles and at the same time, look classy. Candles are now more of a style statement than a necessity and while you can place your candles just about anywhere, there’s always the thought at the back of your mind that they shouldn’t spoil the area where they are being put. But you can bid adieu to this worry of yours as Floralis now has a huge stock of some of the most aesthetic yet functional candle holders which add to the charm of your interiors and give you peace of mind. 

There’re also hurricane lamps, lanterns, kitchen utensils and flower vases which have newly arrived and are worth seeing for their simplicity as well as earthy appeal. We have a lot of exciting products like these and many more lined up for you. So come prepared for some heavy shopping!

Decorate Your Garden

Garden décor products

We all want to live amidst nature – acres of green landscapes, with a variety of flora and fauna. But the urban jungle we call home doesn’t give us that liberty. Floralis, your online floral boutique, lets you bring in some green tranquility amidst all the commotion with a wide range of garden décor products. These easily fit into your interior space and give them the much needed natural treatment against an overdose of concrete and cement. Whether you live in a sprawling bungalow or a designer high-rise, keep your landscape close to you with Floralis products.

Planters are great whether you are looking to build your garden indoors or outdoors. Outdoor planters come in different shapes and sizes to suit varied requirements. But before you order your next planter, ask yourself these questions:

What type of plant are you growing? 

Prior to making that purchase, the primary question to answer is what size the plant will grow up to at full size. If you know the size range you need to stay within, it makes the buying process easier.

What variety of outdoor planter are you seeking? 

Raised Beds: If you have a larger area at your disposal, raised beds give you the freedom to play around with different kinds of soil compositions. These are perfect for outdoor growing and give you more control whether you are creating your very own vegetable garden or a particular type of landscape.

Vertical Gardens: Your walls can be your next garden. Vertical gardens can be used indoors as well as out and are apt for filling up an empty wall or allowing a gardening enthusiast with limited area the chance to get a landscape.

Window Boxes: These are one of the most economical ways to add curb appeal to your home’s exterior. Window boxes for the kitchen are ideal for growing edible herbs. You can also install them anywhere around the house for a more cohesive look and feel instantly. 

Pots: Outdoor pots on your patio add a sense of casual charm. These planters are perfect as architectural accessories and add some vegetation around your home.

Hanging Basket Planters: You can align hanging basket planters along your outdoor patio, walkway or driveway for adding unexpected drama to your landscape. 

What material are you intending to use for your planter? 

More often than not, there is always some strife between aesthetics, price and durability. Thankfully, with Floralis, you don’t have to compromise on any front. We have lined up a range of planters keeping your preferences in mind so that you have multiple options for adorning your home’s landscape. 

Ceramic: For those who are seeking color and variety, ceramic planters fit their bill perfectly. They are known to retain water quite well and last you for years with proper maintenance.

Metal: If you want a more affordable option, metal planters are ideal for the outdoors. They add beauty and character due to their acquired patina as they age. It’s recommended to keep these in a cool, shaded area as they tend to overheat the soil. 

Plastic or Fiberglass: Go for these materials if you’re in a time crunch. Not only are they easy to maintain, they are also quite economical.

Terracotta: Terracotta is a suitable alternative to ceramic planters. They drain well, complement different styles and makes of houses and are very attractive in appearance.

Wood: If you’re one of those gardeners who like a challenge, wood planters can be an attractive proposition. They add a rustic and warm elegance to your landscape and are perfect for designing the quintessential planter.  

These and a whole lot of other, exciting garden décor products await you at our online and retail stores. So, hurry and give your home the makeover it deserves.
