A Harvard Medical School study conducted by Dr. Etcoff found that a small bouquet of flowers perked people up during their morning routines. They also found that one of the best places for flowers is in the kitchen, which people frequently visit throughout the day and particularly in the morning. The study also found that flowers tend to help people:
o Feel more compassionate towards others throughout the day
o Feel a calming energy at home or work
o Decrease negative emotions like anxiety and depression
The presence of fresh flowers is calming to the senses, enhances your mind and stimulates creativity
People most frequently place flowers in their kitchens, dining rooms and living rooms, where they spend a lot of time, but placing them in the bedroom is ensures you see them at the best time of day: first thing in the morning! A wonderful way to start each day on a positive note.
A vase of cut flowers in the home or office boosts the spirits
