or pots of herbs, cacti, or any medium-sized plant of
choice. These will add visual interest when placed
in hallways and is also a nifty way to grow edibles
in the kitchen.
The sunny areas near windows are prime real
estate for your living decorations, which can be
used as window treatments. Arrange a row of pot-
ted plants on the sill, or you can hang containers of
leggy vines from a sturdy tension rod above.
If your home is starved for space, a grid
mounted on the wall can be your canvas to display
indoor plants. Adding mountable shelves will make
your green-filled décor look unique.
Don’t throw away old dinnerware; use it to cre-
ate tiny indoor gardens in your home. Arrange dif-
ferent kinds of succulents in a soup tureen, teacup
or glass and top the soil with colored marbles to
add more charm.
Replace the vase in your living room center
table with a terrarium. Create a miniature land-
scape using succulents, colored pebbles, marbles,
or tiny figurines. There are many terrarium designs
to choose from including cylindrical and circular, to
rectangular and geometric.
Out of ideas on what to use for a room divider?
Fill a shelf with plants and use it to delineate your
living space. Position the shelf for maximum view-
ing effect, and vary the species according to the
season of the year. Flowering plants are ideal since
they provide pops of color. Just be sure to choose
shades that match the other elements of your décor.
Decorate the bathroom by installing one or two
bold-colored macramé plant hangers to grow aloe
vera, ferns and other plants that love a moist envi-
ronment. If hanging foliage from ceiling hooks is
not your thing, a few pots by the side of the tub can
give the room a spa-like ambiance.
Think of indoor plants as living sculptures or
artwork. Let them cascade over their containers to
lend a sense of movement to your living room. Al-
ternatively, mimic a still life painting with an assem-
bly of tiny succulents. Combine round and pointy
shapes with shiny and matte surfaces, tying them
together using a specific color scheme.
Create a green haven within your bedroom by
trading one of your bedside lamps with a pot of
fern or peace lily. Adding a sturdy plant in a sunny
corner provides freshness. Greenery in the bedroom
can help absorb pollutants from the air so that you
breathe in purer.
Plants are an affordable way to freshen up home
interiors. Whether your style preference is modern,
