Using house plants as home décor is an excellent way to add a little color along with a natural, bright feel to any room. House plants are also said to boost mood, reduce stress, and even increase concentration! There are plenty of plants to choose from and various ways to display each one, but here are a few of our favorite combinations when it comes to decorating with house plants:
Geometric Pots
Find geometric pots or planters of various shapes/sizes and plant small succulents of different styles and colors in each one. Then, group a few pots on a window sill or bookshelf, and create levels based on the height of the plant or pot. You can also use them individually to adorn a side table, dining room table, dresser, or desk!
Hanging Plants
Purchase a larger, draping plant and hang it from the ceiling using a macramé plant hanger. You can also place it on a high shelf or ladder, or anywhere where it has room to grow. Try using plants such as eucalyptus, fern, or ivy. These plants are perfect for any space or room with a large plain wall that could use a pop of color!
Plant Corner
Have an empty corner in the dining or living room and looking for ideas on how to enhance the space? Consider turning it into a small plant sanctuary. Select plants of all different sizes, heights, colors, and styles and purchase either matching pots or a mix of designs to suit your personal style. Consider the use of a stool or small table to create additional levels and strategically place each one until it feels just right.
Air Plants
Air plants do not need soil to grow! They can be easily included in DIY wall art, hung from the ceiling or on the wall inside geometric metal prisms, or placed inside beautiful glass terrariums alongside other plants with colorful rocks or sand.
