In this guide, as Bunu Decor Concept, we offer a step-by-step roadmap for you to easily create your own artificial flower wall.

Why Artificial Flower Wall Covering?
Artificial flower walls are both visually impressive and affordable. Unlike real flowers, they do not require watering or sunlight and maintain their first-day beauty for years. They can be used in living room corners, bedrooms, cafe decorations or as a background for events. In addition, being a project that you can completely customize according to your own style offers the opportunity to speak your creativity.
Required Materials
Before starting this project, prepare the following materials:
- Artificial Flowers and Greenery: Artificial flowers of different types and colors, such as roses, peonies, daisies or green leaves. Check out Decor Concept's artificial flower panel collection.
- Base Material: A lightweight and durable foam board (styrofoam). Alternatively, wire mesh or fabric can be used.
- Adhesives: Hot glue gun and sticks, velcro strips or double-sided tape. Discover Decor Concept's adhesive collection.
- Tools: Measuring tape, scissors, wire cutter, pencil.
- Optional: Decorative accessories (e.g. butterfly or pearl details), PVC pipes or wood for a portable frame.
Step by Step Construction Process
This project takes about 1-2 hours and the estimated cost varies between 2,500-20,000 TL depending on the area you will cover. Here are the detailed steps:
1. Measure and Plan the Area
Measure the area where your flower wall will be placed with a tape measure to determine the dimensions. For example, you can choose a 1x1 meter area for a hall or a 2x2 meter area for an event. Choose the color and style of the flowers by considering the color palette of your venue. Pastel tones are ideal for a modern and simple look, while vibrant colors create an energetic atmosphere.
2. Prepare the Base
Foam board is the most practical option because it is light and the flowers can be easily fixed. Cut the board according to your measurements with scissors or a cutter. If you are using a ready-made board, you can skip this step. For a more flexible design, you can choose wire mesh or fabric, but these materials may require additional fixing.
3. Prepare the Flowers
Cut the stems of the artificial flowers to 2-3 cm lengths with wire cutters. This will allow the flowers to fit easily onto the board. No cutting is required for stemless flowers. Gently wipe the flowers with a soft cloth to remove dust and dirt. Decor Concept's high-quality artificial flowers save you time with this step.
4. Create Your Design
Plan your layout by placing flowers and greenery on the foam board. Create main focal points by starting with large flowers, then fill in the gaps with smaller flowers and greenery. Create a natural, balanced look by combining different colors and textures. For example, green leaves can act as fillers between flowers, adding depth.
Clue: Before finalizing the design, lay the board down and check it from a few feet away. This will help you evaluate the overall appearance.
5. Secure the Flowers
You can use two methods to secure flowers to foam board:
- Flowers with Stems:Push the stems directly into the foam board. The foam will hold the stems firmly.
- Stemless Flowers: Apply a small amount of glue to the back of the flowers with a hot glue gun and press them to the board. Press gently for 10-15 seconds after each sticking. Wait 10 minutes for the silicone to dry completely.
Attention: When using hot silicone, be careful not to contact the skin. Decor Concept's adhesives provide safe and effective fixation.
6. Mount on the Wall
Attach at least three Velcro strips vertically to the back of the foam board. Mark the points on the wall where the strips will meet with a pencil and attach the corresponding Velcro strips to the wall. Place the board on the wall and make sure it is in a straight line. Velcro strips provide a removable solution that does not damage the wall. Small nails can be used for heavier boards, but be aware of the risk of wall damage.
7. Final Checks and Maintenance
After hanging the cover on the wall, check that the flowers are properly placed. Artificial flowers do not require maintenance, but clean them regularly with a soft cloth or compressed air to prevent dust accumulation. You can easily replace a damaged flower with a new one.
Tips and Tricks
- Color Matching: Choose flowers that match the decoration of your space. For example, white and pastel tones can be preferred for a minimalist lounge, while red and yellow tones can be preferred for an energetic cafe.
- Layered Design: Create a voluminous look by using flowers and greenery of varying sizes.
- Versatility: You can reuse your flower wall for different events such as weddings, parties or photo shoots.
