HOME + GARDEN
“ Anyone can start an indoor garden by simply adding just a few indoor plants together and having fun arranging them in your home and styling them to compliment your interiors . You can have a huge floor standing plant to create a real statement in a room or simply arrange a few plants together on a shelf to give diversity and texture to your space . Indoor plants help to remove nasty everyday toxins and help oxygenate your environment . Some recent studies have even shown that by adding indoor plants this can reduce stress , anxiety and feelings of depression and help towards creativity , motivation and all round feel good vibes .”

INDOOR GARDENS
One of the good things to come out of our enforced time at home last year is set to be one of 2022 ’ s hottest trends . Biophilia is otherwise known as the innate human instinct to connect with nature and other living things – our relationship with the natural world . This is being recognised more and more in interior design , particularly through the use of indoor gardens . Creating a natural environment to live , work and learn has been proven to help inspire us , boost our productivity levels and heavily contribute to a healthier , happier mindset . The introduction of plants can also remove unwanted harmful toxins from the air , absorb noise , reduce dust particles and control humidity .
Create an indoor rainforest with a combination of large and small tropical shaped leaves , introduce variety and consider shapes and growing habits . Get creative with the positioning for maximum impact ; place pots on shelves , in window boxes or invest in sculptural plant pot hangers to extend from the ceilings .
Whether you ’ re creating a kitchen garden full to the brim with herbs , a wellness space where you can relax and unwind , or a full-on botanical garden , introducing plants to your home will bring a new lease of life to any space . Houseplants are good for you , physically and psychologically .
