Floral wall art. Every decision already made. You are welcome.
Curated ceramic flower sets from Chive Studio are pre-selected groupings of handmade ceramic wall flowers chosen to work together as an arrangement. There is a type of person who would like a wall of ceramic flowers but finds the process of selecting which ones and how many to be more commitment than they currently have available. This is a reasonable position. The curated sets exist for them.
Pre-selected groupings of Chive ceramic flowers that are known to work together. The Nantucket set — eleven blue-white coastal flowers that share a palette and a point of view. Additional sets covering the English Garden collection, the France Collection, and the birth flower ceramic collection in month groupings. Handmade in Toronto. All mounted on the same single-screw system. All shipped in the Chive signature gift box, which is structured, beautiful, and designed for exactly this kind of gifting situation.
Sets Designed to Work Together From the Start
The curated sets take the most common question Chive receives at trade shows — how do I know which flowers go together? — and answer it in advance. Each set was selected by the Chive Studio design team based on glaze harmony, size variation, and how the flowers behave on a wall when hung as a group. The Nantucket set uses the blue-white Coastal Collection palette for its entire range. The English Garden sets use the soft botanical glazes the collection is known for. The France sets use blush pinks and muted teals. None of them require you to make a decision beyond choosing the set.
Curated Ceramic Flower Sets for Gifting and for Walls That Need to Be Finished
The sets work as gifts because the recipient does not need to know anything about ceramics, collections, or glazes. They receive a complete arrangement in a gift box. They put them on the wall. The wall is done. For people who find gift-giving stressful and recipient-pleasing uncertain, a curated Chive set removes most of the variables. The flowers are handmade in Toronto. They do not need water. They have been on the walls of the Getty Museum and the Art Institute of Chicago. They will be on your wall next.
Chive Studio has been designing and handmaking ceramic flowers in Toronto since 1999 — always original, often copied. Our handmade ceramic wall flowers are stocked in the Getty Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago, the New York Botanical Gardens, Longwood Gardens, and more than 200 art galleries and museum shops worldwide. We have exhibited at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show for thirteen consecutive years, receiving the 5-star booth award — the highest rating given. Featured by Oprah's O List, Dwell, and House Beautiful. We design everything we sell, support independent retailers exclusively, and have never sold to big-box retailers. We ship to over 40 countries.

Every curated set from Chive Studio was arranged by people who have spent twenty-five years looking at ceramic flowers in combination. The color pairings were not chosen by algorithm. They were chosen by people in a studio in Toronto who have strong opinions about which ivory goes next to which blush, and who are prepared to defend those opinions. You may not agree with every decision. Most people do.
The curated sets ship in gift-ready packaging. No wrapping required, no additional box needed — the set arrives as a complete gift. For anyone who finds the Chive range and then needs to narrow it down for a specific occasion: the curated sets are the version of this decision that has already been made. Individual flowers from every collection are also available for anyone who prefers to make their own decisions. Both paths lead to the same wall.

Frequently asked questions about the curated ceramic flower sets
What is floral wall art?
Floral wall art is wall decor in the form of flowers — in this case, handmade ceramic wall flowers from Chive Studio designed to hang on a wall via a single small screw. The curated sets are pre-selected combinations of floral wall art from across the Chive range. The color palette, flower types, sizes, and collection mix have all been chosen. The arrangement is done. The only remaining decision is which wall.
What is included in a curated ceramic flower set?
Each set contains between three and eight handmade ceramic wall flowers selected by Chive Studio as a complete wall arrangement. Some sets draw from a single collection. Others mix across English Garden, France, Coastal, Japan, and Classic designs. Every set includes mounting hardware -- one screw and one wall anchor per flower. Every set ships in gift-ready packaging. The selection has been made by the studio that has been developing the color system for twenty-five years.
How do curated set ceramic flowers mount on a wall?
Each flower in a curated set has a keyhole fitting on the back. One small screw in the wall, the flower hangs on it. The screw and wall anchor are included for every flower in the set. Each flower takes approximately 90 seconds to hang. No tools required beyond a screwdriver. The flowers do not shift or tilt after hanging. If you rearrange them, you remove one screw per flower, fill a small hole, and rehang. The arrangement improves with rearrangement. Most arrangements do.
Can I add individual ceramic flowers to a curated set arrangement?
Yes. Every design in the Chive range is part of a coordinated color system developed over twenty-five years, which means any individual flower from any collection can be added to a curated set arrangement without creating a conflict. The curated set is the starting point, not the boundary. Most people who receive a curated set add at least one more flower within the first year. This has been noted and we consider it a successful outcome.
Is a curated ceramic flower set a good housewarming gift?
It is an excellent housewarming gift for a specific reason: the arrangement decisions have already been made. The recipient does not need to choose which flowers go together -- the studio that has been developing the color system since 1999 has already done that. The set arrives in gift-ready packaging, mounts on a wall in minutes, and immediately looks considered. A new home benefits from objects that already know what they are. A curated set does.
What makes curated sets different from buying individual ceramic flowers?
The decision has been made. When buying individual flowers from a range of 185+ designs across five collections, the question of which combinations work together is a real one, even though any combination technically works. The curated sets remove that question entirely. The combination was selected by the studio. It works. The alternative is to browse 185 options and make your own selection, which is also a valid approach and available at any time.
Where are Chive curated sets stocked outside of chive.com?
Chive ceramic flowers, including designs from the curated sets, are stocked in 200+ museum shops, botanical garden gift shops, and independent retailers worldwide, including the Getty Museum, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, the Chicago Field Museum, and the Audubon Aquarium in New Orleans. The curated set format is also available at independent retailers in North America and the UK who carry the full Chive range.
Can I request a custom curated set with specific flowers?
The curated sets are pre-selected arrangements. They cannot be modified. If you have a specific combination in mind, every Chive design is available individually -- you can select exactly the flowers you want and they will work together, because all 150+ designs are part of a coordinated color system. The curated sets exist for people who prefer not to choose. The individual designs exist for people who know exactly what they want. Both options are entirely correct.
