Filling Your Home with Life: A Design Guide to Houseplants and Their Care

Incorporating greenery into your home's interior design brings vitality, comfort, and natural beauty into indoor spaces.

Follow our guide to selecting the right houseplants and styling them for an inviting biophilic decor.

Choosing Plants for Your Space

Consider the room's light levels, humidity, ventilation, and size. Choose low-light or shade-tolerant plants for dim interiors. Opt for smaller varieties for tabletops and hanging baskets in tight spaces.

Playing with Plants Styling

Create an artful arrangement using varying heights, textures, and leaf shapes. Use trailing ivy or ferns to soften shelves and hang pothos or philodendrons from macramé.

Place Plants with Purpose

Strategically situate plants to direct foot traffic, segment space and improve sightlines. Use tall statement plants in corners to fill vertical space.

Complement Your Color Palette

Choose houseplants with foliage that complements your interior colors. For earthy neutrals, options like snake plant or ZZ plant work well. Bold leaves contrast black and white.

Consider Air Purifying Options

Plants like peace lily, English ivy, and aloe vera naturally filter indoor air. Group in high-traffic areas for the best air purification.

Care for Your Greenery

Place plants in optimal lighting conditions and water appropriately. Wipe leaves clean and trim when unruly. Rotate plants seasonally for continued vigor.

Thoughtfully incorporating living greenery enhances any interior with natural beauty, fresh oxygen, and an inviting ambiance.
