These spring- and summertime favorites are the perfect way to bring just a touch of color to a neutral kitchen. Better yet, the densely-packed blooms are dramatic enough to hold their own in a simple arrangement like this one — no fussing or filler needed.

Leanne added rustic texture to this kitchen’s open shelving by tucking feathery grass into a tall vase. Since these stems have no blooms to shed, they’ll be sitting pretty for weeks rather than days.

Inspired by the foliage surrounding her clients’ Pennsylvania home, Leanne arranged handfuls of the yard’s prettiest trimmings in the kitchen. Arrangements like these are an ultra-cost-effective way to accent elegant dishes and a thoughtful way to upcycle unruly hedgerows.

Miniature arrangements of white snapdragons and textured reeds echo the tones in this stone slab table and draw the eye out to the sun-dappled yard visible through this midcentury home’s floor-to-ceiling glass doors.
