Floral Bedding and the Symbolism Behind It

Flowers have always played a strong symbolic role in human history. They’ve been part of rituals, cultural culinary dishes and have inspired thousands of art pieces—thanks to their incredible colors and variety of distinct species. And while most of us are probably more familiar with them as everyday symbols for showing affection, congratulating someone, or simply brightening up a room, the meaning of flowers goes way beyond their pretty petals. Because behind each kind is a history of symbolism that captures the essence and natural power flowers can have on us—and the impact they can have on our lives.

Just adding the likeness of these beautiful botanicals to your bedroom through one of our exclusive designs can use that symbolism to not only change the way your room looks, but the way you feel when you’re in it. That’s why we’re sharing a few of the iconic flowers we feature on our premium, luxury bedding, and the symbolic meanings behind them.

The Lily

image of Lily of the ValleyThe lily is so utterly graceful, the Greeks believed it was created from the milk of the queen of gods (Hera to be specific). In fact, many religions and cultures honor this flower for its purity, making it one of the most revered in history. Along with its natural beauty, other areas of the world believe lilies symbolize prosperity and abundance. While some see this precious perennial as a token of enlightenment and peace. And since nature gave the lily multiple hues to bring us pleasure, there are many other meanings you can add to your room with this legendary floral—from lighthearted yellows that inspire joy and happiness to royal-like purples that transform a room with absolute elegance. Regardless of the color you choose and what lilies represent to you, the one thing everyone can agree on is adding them to your life in some way is a good idea.

Its thick, yet graceful petals convey a resplendent magnificence that only nature could provide. It’s truly one of the most refined and elegant botanicals and bringing it into your home welcomes a host of good-natured emotions. Much of the tulip’s symbolic meanings are behind its colors, something this flower is not lacking for. Red tulips are most renowned for invoking passionate love, but have also been known to help with feelings of frustration and anger. Yellow tulips create a cheerful ambience of happy feelings for a friendly environment that feels light and carefree. White tulips bring a purity and peacefulness to your room, perfect for creating a sanctuary from the day to day. And pink tulips add a layer of confident design and well-wishes that radiate with joy and positivity. These are just some of the colors and ways adding tulip-inspired designs can change up your perspective—and improve your everyday life.
