Layering plants is a lovely way to bring life and interest to your living spaces. Choose a variety of forms and shapes and display them at different heights, either raised on stands or hung as part of a gallery wall, for an indoor jungle feel.
Shape your vines so that they wrap around a mirror.
Make a statement with an oversized plant.
Play with planters: hang some, mount some. Get some terracotta pots that have different textures and designs.
Add some plant life to your home workspace.
Decorate a desk or a centre table with succulents.

Complete your green room by hanging a shelf above your windows to take advantage of vertical space and allow long vines to hang down without disrupting anyone.
Invest in a plant cart. The primary goal of a plant cart is to get the plant off the ground and onto an elevated surface. Plant carts and stands are used as furniture or artwork in some homes, adding a tasteful touch to a room’s energy.
Incorporating plants and greenery into a space helps it to feel welcoming, adding natural texture, organic shapes and a pop of color to the room.
Always remember, the adornment of plants in your home becomes more striking if you decorate and customise pots as per the room’s décor.
Happy Green Decorating!
