All household tables work well for springtime flowers.
Tables in the home are the perfect place to put flowers, according to author and home-furnishings expert Mary Carol Garrity.
Cachepots arranged down the centre of a hall table and clusters of blooms in a rustic wooden bowl on a coffee table are possibilities, the interiors professional wrote for Scripps Howard News Service.
She said: "Pick up bouquets of daffodils, narcissus or tulips at the florist and use them to brighten the bedside table in your room."
Dining room tables could even display ornamental birdlife with eggs nestled among some leaves, which the designer suggested would be ideal for a spring luncheon party.
The blooms do not even have to be real, Ms Garrity proposed, as fake flowers can achieve the same effect, especially since faux foliage is increasingly realistic these days.
Combining furniture with plants is currently on trend, as indicated by Valerie Easton, who recently suggested that readers of the Huffington Post could build an arbour above outdoor tables.
