Moving into a new apartment in New York City is a big deal—whether you're signing your first lease in the East Village or upgrading to more space in Park Slope. One of the best ways to make that space feel like home? Fresh flowers and plants.
At Scotts Flowers NYC, we specialize in helping customers choose the perfect flowers for a new home—arrangements and plants that are not only beautiful but also tailored to NYC apartment living.
🏡 1. Consider the Size of the Space
In Manhattan, square footage is everything. For smaller apartments or studios, choose compact arrangements or single-stem designs that don’t overwhelm the room.

Try:
🌿 Petite orchid plants
🌼 Simple bud vase arrangements
🌸 Chic and minimal Everyday Bouquets
If the recipient is moving into a larger space or loves bold decor, go for lush centerpieces that command attention.
🌿 2. Think About Longevity: Fresh Flowers vs. Plants
Looking for something that will last longer than a week? Housewarming plants are an excellent choice. They’re low-maintenance, add a pop of green, and bring life into any space.
Great options for NYC apartment decor:
- Snake plants (hardy and low light tolerant)
- Orchids (elegant and long-lasting)
- Succulents (great for desks or windowsills)
- Peace lilies (air-purifying and lush)

🎁 3. Choose Flowers That Match Their Style
When sending flowers for a new apartment, consider the recipient’s aesthetic. Are they into neutrals and minimalism? Or do they love bold pops of color?
- Modern and minimal: White orchids, anemones, or calla lilies
- Warm and cozy: Seasonal wildflower mixes, sunflowers, or garden roses
- Chic and trendy: Peonies, ranunculus, or colorful mixed arrangements

🕯️ 4. Flowers That Feel Like a Welcome Home
There’s something so powerful about walking into a new place and seeing a fresh arrangement waiting for you. It immediately makes the space feel lived in and loved.
Best occasions to send housewarming flowers:
- Day of move-in
