Tips for decorating your home with plants

Plants are not only beautiful, but they also provide freshness and purify the air, since in their photosynthesis process they capture CO2 while emitting oxygen. A natural work that makes them more attractive when it comes to decorating any corner of the home.

On the other hand, plants serve to bring a bit of the outside in, however, there are tricks that help them look more harmonious and integrate correctly into the decor. Let's look at some of them.

Designing like a landscaper:

The goal is to create organic compositions that look good at first glance. For this task, it is best to check the color variations, the height and width of the plants and the shape of the foliage. In this sense, the ideal is to create a composition that gives the sensation of being in nature and with species that have the same origin.

Size does matter:

Large, leafy plants promote a pleasant visual experience and are very suitable for spaces with little furniture, as they prevent the furniture from taking over the space. In this sense, you can choose a Ficus Lyrata or, for the more daring, a mini fruit tree.

The hanging effect:

Whether on a ceiling beam or with hooks, hanging plants help to optimize space because they can be hung at different heights, leaving square meters of floor space available. Choose plants such as Ivy or Pothos that simulate the fall effect on their leaves.

Vertical gardens:

This type of garden is created using a structure with pockets that is attached to the wall and in which various species of plants can be planted to create a green cover. The major disadvantage is that these spaces must have a water supply and drainage.

Delimiting zones:

This technique is very useful for all-in-one spaces, as plants not only decorate but can also divide areas. The key is to choose pots with different heights or leafy species that create a dividing effect.

Color notes:

Flowering plants such as Anthurium or Orchids are perfect for adding elegance and colour to rooms. One way to choose flowers is to choose those that are in the same colour palette as the space you want to decorate. However, for the more eclectic, other spices can be chosen to create colour contrasts.

More is more:

Plants are no longer just for balconies and terraces, as the trend is to fill spaces with greenery. More and more people are choosing to create small plant oases inside their homes, resulting in vital and serene decorations.

Finally, the effects of plants are so great that they can generate visual calm, which is why they are perfect for spaces such as the bedroom, bathroom or office. Even so, qualities such as the amount of light and the watering that each species needs become determining factors when choosing which plant is best for each room in the home.
