A floral arrangement made with a building set for a room

Flower decorations look neat when the petals are evenly spaced, the stems stand straight, and no dust accumulates between the pieces. Before assembling, it’s best to clear the table and sort the small pieces by color. For home decor, LEGO flowers can be used to create a bouquet, an orchid, or a small arrangement for a shelf. Once assembled, a stable base is essential. They require the same care as any other decor.

How to clean the spaces between the petals

Dust is more noticeable on the petals than on regular bricks. A soft brush, a dry cloth, or an air duster will work for cleaning. Use a damp cloth carefully so as not to leave streaks on the pieces. If the arrangement is near a window, dust and sunlight will cause the colors to fade more quickly.

It’s best to clean the arrangement from top to bottom. Start with the petals, then the leaves, stems, and the base. Don’t pull on the delicate elements, as they may come loose along with neighboring parts. For quick maintenance, follow this order:

• remove the bouquet from the shelf with both hands;
• place it on a flat surface;
• gently brush the petals with a dry brush;
• remove dust from the leaves;
• wipe the base with a soft cloth;
• Check that the stems are secure;
• Gently return the arrangement to its place.

After cleaning, it’s best to inspect the arrangement in daylight. This way, you can spot dust on small details and areas where a petal is out of place. If the window in the room is often open, you’ll need to clean it more frequently.

Stand, Height, and Placement Near Light

This type of decoration should be placed so that it isn’t bumped by curtains, books, or cabinet doors. A tall vase requires a level shelf with sufficient depth. If the arrangement consists of several stems, it’s best to angle them in different directions so the bouquet looks full. Since the flowers can get hot near a lamp, the spot should be away from direct heat.

In a small room, it’s convenient to place flowers on a dresser, a desk, or an open shelf. Near a workspace, the arrangement should not get in the way of your hands or cables. If there are children or pets at home, it’s best to place the arrangement higher up. Instructions and spare parts can be placed in a labeled bag so you can restore the arrangement’s shape if it accidentally falls over.

If the arrangement consists of several individual flowers, arrange them after setting up the arrangement. Start by placing the tallest stems, followed by the shorter elements and leaves. This ensures the flowers don’t overlap or lean forward. After rearranging, check to make sure the base is level.

On comfy.ua, you can browse LEGO flower sets and plan ahead for where to display the finished arrangement. For a neat appearance, all you need is a level base, gentle cleaning, protection from heat, and a separate bag for spare parts. When rearranging the bouquet, hold it by the base.
