The Home Edit

Whether you’re a longtime plant parent or just beginning to build a collection of green friends after getting to know about plants post-pandemic, you know by now that plants deserve a prime place in your home. Indoor plant ideas can help lower stress levels, replenish the air and make your home look gorgeous, but they need a place where they not only thrive but also give a unique look to your house. The fact is that you don’t need a large room for housing indoor plants; all you need is to be creative and grow plants vertically or put them on a trolly.

However, if you’re someone who is not looking for aesthetics and simply does not want to or cannot fit any more plants into your home, we have incorporated a list of all creative, beautiful, unique, and wild ways in which you can incorporate plant life into your home to add a little extra personality to your space.

Here are some creative ideas on how to decorate every part of your home with plants that you can use to give a green twist to your house!

Hang in there

One of the best, easiest and yet aesthetically pleasing ways to add more plants to your home is simply by hanging them, for examples from the ceiling or in front of a window. The best thing about this look is that you can customise it in a stunning variety of ways. From where you hang, to what you hang, to how you hang, look at some of the ways you can hang plants in your homes and see if it sparks any idea that works for you.

To the dining table

Every dining table needs a beautiful centrepiece to elevate the ambience. A potted plant adds a vibrant pop of colour to an otherwise sumptuously dark-hued room. It adds a simple yet striking feature that will make any dinner party, late brunch or simple work day’s breakfast that little bit more special. It’s no wonder ferns are seen as one of the best indoor plants right now. In terms of varieties to go for, the Boston fern is a popular and easy-to-care-for choice, but there are other stunning options such as the delicate maidenhair.

Get them framed

It’s time to view plants from a different perspective by using them as living art. Perfect for pepping up a plain wall or bringing an organic touch to functional space, these clever frames can house pairs of plants. Position them tight together in rows or grids, where the plants will grow to hide their planting pockets, creating the look of lush living wall plants with similar leaf tones work best for this. Alternatively treat them as painterly masterpieces, by choosing striking, coloured foliage and spacing the frames evenly apart.

Statement pots

When it comes to pots for your plants, don’t settle for the ordinary. It’s easy to add a playful vibe to your space with bold colours and fun shapes. The easiest way to design an asymmetrical look with planters is to start with two different types of plants. Then, select a third plant, which will be your focal point. Your focal plant should be your brightest and most diverse display. Everything is better in groups of three.

Add a terrarium

Easy to make and maintain, a terrarium in your home is not only a focal point, but it is also a world within your world. From simple to the more elaborate, terrariums offer a beautiful addition, and they need little attention. The plants in a terrarium release moisture or vapour which is captured on the glass walls where it trickles back down into the soil, essentially watering itself. They require limited amounts of water and are beautiful to view. Plus, like other house plants, terrariums help reduce stress and anxiety and add style to your home or office.
