With spring in full bloom, it’s time to bring the outdoors inside and start Incorporating plants, greenery, and flowers around your home. Not only does it warm up the environment, flowers and greenery are such an aesthetically pleasing touch in any room. With so many options to choose from, it’s an easy way to add warmth, and express your personality and style. When adding plants to your home it is so important you don’t go too far and go overboard. It’s also important to realize that different types of plants and flowers read differently in a room, and they can add or detract from your decor. However, the result, when done correctly, is lush and makes a gorgeous addition to your home or office.
Plants & Greenery
Adding simple plants throughout your home is such a great way to really bring a room to life. They give off a very lavish and lively vibe. They are also easier to maintain than flowers, and last longer so they are a better investment. The trick is deciding what kind of plants you like, will look best with your decor, and maybe most importantly, what YOU can maintain.
Using plants as accessories on shelves and tables is a great and beautiful way to fill space and make your other non-living accessories pop. Get creative with the pots and holders that you put them in. If you love a classic terra-cotta get different shapes and sizes of terra cotta pots and mix them with different types of plants. If you want a cleaner more modern look, choose a white or black pot. Love color? Colorful holders can tie your room together and bring your aesthetic to life in the small details. There is also the option of glass holders. Very on trend, this is a very interesting way to display your fave plants. Mix all your containers together if you want a bohemian chic vibe.
