USM A World Of Plants Living Furniture Range

BOTANICAL

Adding plants to a room can help to significantly reduce stress levels and boost productivity , and what with us spending most of our time indoors now , it may just be time to bring the outdoors in . Plants in any shape or form are being used more commonly in decorating schemes to create a natural , soothing environment , perfect for a bedroom space ! A floral wall can make the ultimate feature , and tying in the sustainable theme Woodchip & Magnolia have some perfect examples of floral-inspired wallcoverings . Soft furnishings can be an easy way to incorporate plants into the design – scatter some luxurious printed cushions , invest in a floral bedding set or printed rug – be bold and brave , it will pay off ! Lisa from Ooh How Lovely , Hawkhurst says , “ Botanicals are classic , use them to create a comfortable , warm feeling , blend prints with plain colours or use multi layering - the perfect look for a bedroom .” Dried flowers are the thing right now , not only because they look great but also for their practicality – scroll through Instagram and you ’ ll see the proof , pampas grass galore ! For the real deal invest in house plants and create an indoor garden . If you ’ re not too green-fingered start with succulents , easy to nurture they ’ ll do well pretty much anyway . Feeling brave ? Look at ferns or a snake plant , still inexpensive and low maintenance , this plant will boost air quality while you sleep . And , if you ’ re struggling for somewhere to place your plants , USM may just have the answer – their new ‘ World of Plants ’ furniture system allows you to customise greenery into any space – well worth the investment !
