Now that spring has started, you may be dreaming of green gardens and beautiful blooms adorning your lawn.

But have you thought about bringing some of that decoration inside?

There are so many wonderful ways to decorate with plants. They work in every space!

The benfits of houseplants

There are actually lots of good reasons why you should consider having a few houseplants.

First, they bring a bright and natural atmosphere to any room. There are so many colours and varieties to choose from, too! Think of bold flowers, hanging plants, or colourful cacti.

Second, they are good for your mental health. There is something about connecting with nature that is so good for our minds. Adding a few houseplants to your most-used spaces is an easy way to experience those benefits. Studies have actually shown that indoor plants can boost your concentration and productivity, while also improving your mood and lowering stress levels.

Third, they can be good for the indoor environment. Different plants offer different benefits such as increased oxygen and the removal of mold spores and toxins from the air. Natural plant decorations – especially if they are purchased locally or grown from cuttings – are a much greener option than the plastic alternatives.

Eye-catching ways to decorate with plants

Of course, there are endless types of plants to choose from and various ways to display each one, but here are a few of our favorite combinations:

1. Geometric planters

Find geometric pots or planters of various sizes and plant small succulents of different styles and colors in each one. Then group a few pots together on a window sill or shelf or use them individually to adorn a side table or center of the dining room table.

2. Hanging plants

Purchase a larger, draping plant-like eucalyptus, fern, or ivy and hang it from the ceiling using a macramé plant hanger or place it on a high shelf or ladder. These plants are perfect for the corner of your living room or room with a large, plain wall that is in need of a little pop of color.

3. Plant corner

Have a large corner in the dining or living room and need ideas on how to fill it? Consider turning it into a small plant sanctuary. Select plants of all different sizes, heights, colors, and styles and purchase either matching pots or a mix of designs. Consider the use of a stool or small table to create additional levels and strategically place each one in the corner.

4. Air plants

Air plants are universal and can be included in DIY wall art, hung inside geometric metal prisms, or placed inside beautiful glass terrariums alongside other plants and colorful rocks or sand. They can even simply be placed on shelves along with other decorations.
