What is real touch?
Real touch means that artificial flowers, artificial plants or artificial greenery have a special finish that makes them feel natural. With real touch flowers, for example, the petals feel softer and more supple. With artificial plants and Christmas greenery, it is mainly about the structure and the feel of the leaves or needles.
The material and finish differ per product and manufacturer. Real touch is therefore not a fixed type of material, but a term for artificial products that mimic real flowers and plants as closely as possible.
Real touch flowers that feel almost real
Are you looking for artificial flowersthat not only look real, but also feel that way? Then our real touch artificial flowers are a great choice. Think of real touch tulips, roses and amaryllises that you can put in a vase separately or combine into a complete artificial bouquet.
These imitation flowers do not need water and do not wilt. This allows you to enjoy your favorite types of flowers for longer, without having to keep buying new ones.
Combine the flowers, for example, with artificial birch branches or other green artificial branchesfor a calm bouquet in a country style.
Real touch artificial plants for a natural interior
With real touch artificial plants, you bring greenery into your home without having to worry about watering, pruning or the right amount of daylight.
The leaves have a finish that approximates the feel of real plants. This makes these artificial plants suitable for places where you see the greenery up close, such as on a cabinet, side table or windowsill.
Combine them with wooden, stone or metal pots for a rugged and sober look.
Real touch Christmas trees and Christmas sprays
You will also find products with a real touch finish within our Christmas decoration. Think of real touch Christmas trees and Christmas sprays with needles that look and feel natural.
Place an artificial Christmas tree on a cabinet, next to a sideboard or in any other place where you want to add winter greenery. You can, for example, hang up a Christmas spray or combine it with rusty metal hangers and a string of lights.
This way, you can use real touch Christmas greenery year after year, without dealing with shedding needles.
What is the difference between real touch and ordinary artificial flowers?
The biggest difference lies in the feel of the material. Ordinary artificial flowers can, for example, have a smooth or textile-like finish, while real touch flowers are specifically made to feel more natural.
This does not mean that every real touch flower is automatically more lifelike than an ordinary artificial flower. The color, flower shape, stem and finish also determine how real an artificial flower looks.
At Hillary'sHome, we assess our artificial flowers ourselves for their lifelike appearance. We only sell artificial flowers that we find convincing enough ourselves.
Combining real touch in a country-style interior
Real touch products go well with natural materials such as wood, stone, zinc and weathered metal. For example, place real touch flowers in a wooden pitcher or combine an artificial plant with a sober stone pot.
During the winter months, you can complement real touch Christmas greenery with metal stars, moss, wooden decorations and decorative lighting.
You don't have to change your entire interior to do this. With a few real touch products, you can easily give your existing home decor a different look.
