Create some theatre with interior designer Tamara Wouters' succulent showpiece that looks fresh, but is actually made with high-quality faux-plant picks
Step 1
Choose a shallow vessel and line the bottom with foam bricks, which you can purchase from a florist or craft store; cut to fit snugly inside the vessel.
*Vancouver's Chintz & Co. has a great selection of faux succulents, says designer Tamara Wouters. The lime-green bulbs are a seasonal accent that can easily be removed after the holidays, so the centrepiece has year-round staying power.

Step 2
Place faux-succulent plant picks into the foam, starting from the centre and working your way outwards.
Step 3
Continue adding succulents, alternating various colours, sizes and textures of plants to create visual interest.
Step 4
Choose a combination of matte and shiny ornaments (these will reflect light) in colours that coordinate with the overall.
Step 5
Secure the bulbs to the foam or succulents with wire hooks. Tuck a few ornaments among the greenery without overwhelming the succulents.
