How to decorate your home with plants

How can you furnish your home with plants and enhance your space with a touch of green and nature? Furnishing your home with the help of plants is a great opportunity to make your home more comfortable and lively. Interior design has always made use of plants and vegetables to make environments more lively and dynamic: in recent years the use and arrangement of a wide variety of plant species within the home or workplace is a big trend.

In the following paragraphs we will give you some advice and suggestions on how to choose and position the best elegant house plants in your space.

How to arrange plants in the home

Furnishing an indoor or outdoor space with plants is a choice that can fulfil an important aesthetic function in a home, terrace or garden. Today, plants have become irreplaceable accessories and furnishing accessories that are present in practically every home. Plants are certainly an ideal solution for furnishing the living room, the kitchen and, why not, the bathroom or the sleeping area of your flat.

The passion for greenery combined with interior design is a variant capable of conferring great elegance and sophistication to your environments, creating corners and scenes that are truly suggestive and have great visual impact and personality.

The main question is therefore how to arrange plants in the home? The answer to this question cannot disregard the stylistic configuration that you intend to give to your spaces and how you intend to use the plants in your environments: for example you may decide to prepare small plants to be used as ornaments. In this case, furnishing your spaces with succulent plants (there are even very small ones on the market) could be the perfect solution. Succulent plants are able to give you an excellent visual effect and do not require much maintenance and attention.

Another interesting idea could be to combine several plants in a terrarium, creating attractive centrepieces for your family meals or dinners with friends and relatives.

An alternative way of arranging plants in your space is to set up an urban jungle environment: this style of furnishing with the help of plants and vegetables is one of the latest trends in interior design. This furnishing trend involves the important and massive use of plants in your house or flat: the important thing is to choose special, lush plants with an exotic character, such as an avocado or banana plant. Not flowering plants, therefore, but plants of tropical origin. These plant species are often characterised by the presence of particularly large leaves, which give an exotic (urban jungle) touch to your environment.

Plants in the home: other configuration ideas

If you are looking for an original way to arrange plants in your home, you can opt for the choice of hanging pots: hanging pots are also a very popular trend in recent years. These installations are very original and suggestive and involve the cultivation of plants in pots hanging from the ceiling with the help of ropes and chains.

Plants in hanging pots create a truly interesting scenic effect. You can opt for this furnishing solution in every area of your home, and in particular in the living area, in the kitchen and why not in the bathroom.

With regard to the plant species to choose for this type of installation, our advice is to opt for the so-called drooping plants: an example of plants with these characteristics are, for example, ivy, ferns or potos.

Create a vertical garden in your own home

Another interesting idea for furnishing your home with plants is to opt for the creation of a vertical garden within your own space. If you opt for the vertical garden solution, you can let your imagination run wild. In this regard, you will have to decide whether to dedicate an entire wall to your vertical garden or, on the contrary, only a portion of it. In addition to the location, you will also need to choose the most suitable plant species for this type of installation.

To create a vertical garden in your home in a simple way, you can locate a niche in your flat and place a simple wooden frame in it. Then place the plant in the niche to create your own original green space. Set in the niche you have chosen and perhaps placed in a particularly elegant pot, your plant will give your home an atmosphere of freshness and energy.

Plants in glass vases

Lastly, you can opt for another simple idea that has a great visual and stylistic effect. For the creation of a green space you can use glass vases: these objects are in many cases the ideal solution to create the perfect combination of green and design. Another characteristic and peculiarity of glass vases is their ability to adapt to the most diverse furnishing contexts (perfect for a modern and dynamic interior design or, on the contrary, for a space characterised by a more classic and traditional design).

Also in this case, you can give free rein to your imagination and creativity, choosing glass vases of the most varied shapes and sizes: spherical glass vases, or vases characterised by other geometric shapes, transparent, plain or multicoloured.
