Whether you're a longtime plant parent or just beginning to build a collection of green friends, you know by now that plants deserve a prime place in your home. How can you decorate with them and add a little extra personality to your space? We've got you covered with the 27 styling tips below.
Just note that no matter your experience with plants, you should still be confident when it comes to including them in your house or apartment.
"Plants can add so much character to a room. They liven up a space and there are so many different varieties of plants. The possibilities are endless," notes Instagrammer Andreina Fuenteabla, who owns 65 plants. "An important factor to remember when owning plants is that it’s trial and error. If you are just starting your plant journey just know that you’ll kill some plants along the way, and that’s okay! Just keep going and learning. You’re doing great."

Transform a Bar Cart
@itschristinachinn
Not in the mood for cocktails? Take an empty bar cart and use it as a plant stand! Wheels make it easy to move green friends throughout the house as needed. If plants are showing signs of too much sun, simply roll the cart away from the window.

Try Terracotta
@plantandwander
"When it comes to styling with plants, I always tell people to have fun with it, be creative, and try new things," Fuentealba says. "Make sure you understand what your plant needs to thrive, and listen to the signs your plant is giving you. Play with planters: hang some, mount some. I’m personally a huge terracotta lover, so I’m always on the hunt for terracotta pots that have different textures and designs."

Style a Hutch
@hollyb_at_home
Transform a hutch into a sophisticated plant storage system by filling the shelves with various sizes of pots. Don't be afraid to stack some on top if your collection begins to overflow a little.
"I like to disperse my plants around my home, so I can see them in every corner, but you can also group them together on a shelf or cabinet," Fuenteabla comments. "If you are feeling stuck with where to start, there is so much inspiration all around, especially with Instagram. Just start with a few plants and go from there. It’ll take time to grow your collection; enjoy the journey."

Make Over Your TV Stand
@plant.ma
Instagrammer Agatha Isabel of @plant.ma is all for doing double duty in her apartment. "I have a trailing and climbing wall full of Philodendron, Scindapsus, and Monstera on my TV stand," she explains. "I have a concrete wall where the plants love to attach to the porous surface, and I even use command light hooks to help those trailing plants climb their way up. There’s also a grow light right above the space to help train the plants to climb and reach upwards. "

Try a Tall Tree
@sophiesgaff
Once again, don't be shy about bringing plants into the bathroom if you have the space and ample lighting. A thriving fiddle leaf fig adds major visual interest by the sink.
And if your loo doesn't have windows, Isabel offers another suggestion. "I’ve turned my windowless bathroom into a propagation and isolation area for my new plants," she explains. "I recommend isolating new plants when you first receive them in order to make sure you’re not bringing any plants pests in your area. Simply turn your bathroom into a prop room with the help of a grow light."

Look Up High
@knackeredmavis
No green room is complete without a plant (or several!). Hang a shelf above your windows to take advantage of vertical space and allow long vines to hang down without disrupting anyone.
Thinking high up can also be a smart solution for those with pets, Isabel explains. "I have some fur babies that like to run around and tend to knock over plants every once in a while," she comments. "As a result, I’ve began placing my larger plants on the top shelves to maximize floor space. Coincidentally, they also provide the feel of a jungle canopy."

Upgrade Your Selfies
@plant.ma
Even if your plant's vines don't wrap all the way around one of your wall mirrors, a little bit of green can make for "extra special selfies," Isabel shares. "It’s always super exciting when plants start to trail so they can help decorate walls," she adds. "Just about every mirror in my apartment has some form of trailing plant (my favorite are Scindapsus). They add a little extra flare to tie the space together."

Decorating with plants is a wonderful way to bring life and vitality to interiors. There's nothing like lush greenery to brighten up a living space, plus the positive impact plants have on our health and wellbeing is well documented.
With such a huge variety of indoor plants available, from dainty string of pearls to large bird of paradise plants and indoor trees like figs and citrus, the scope for decorating with plants is endless.
Whether you're looking to liven-up the kitchen or bring calm to the bedroom, there is a house plant for every room and situation, so before you start decorating be sure to familiarise yourselves with the best indoor plants.
To help inspire your plant choices, and how to arrange them, we've rounded up an array of botanical home decor ideas along with some tips from the experts.
Decorating with plants – the benefits
Decorating with plants has become hugely popular in recent years as we seek to reconnect with nature and bring its soul-nourishing, calming influence into our homes.
Available in a host of shapes, forms, colors and textures, from large leafy palms to small shapely cacti, not forgetting flowering varieties, indoor plants make versatile decorating ideas and are used by interior designers as living forms of art.
'Plants have a sculptural quality, they are always changing and have such intricate details, and complement every type of decor style,' says Eli Manekin, founder of house plant store Loop Living . 'There really isn't any other design element like them, and they bring out the best in every interior. In short, they demand attention, which is what I think great art does. '
Plants work well in all rooms of the house; for instance bathroom plants can really enhance this often overlooked room.

As well as being beautifully decorative and scented, plants bring a wealth of health benefits. Not only can plants help purify the air, the activity of indoor gardening can be extremely mindful, plus carefully positioned Feng Shui plants are said to increase the flow of positive energy around your home.
However, before you leap to fill your home with house plants, be sure to pay attention to their care needs first. Different plants have different habits so choose plants suitable for the area you are decorating and position them in places where they will thrive.
Alternatively, for those that aren't green-fingered there's always the option to decorate with flowers, plus there are plenty of artificial plants available for an everlasting display.
1. Fill your shelves with house plants
(Image credit: Future / James Merrell)
For many interior designer and stylists, plants are a must have when it comes to decorating shelves.
'Plants will bring an element of softness and freshness to any shelf, especially those that trail,' says Simon Temprell, interior design manager at Neptune . 'Succulents have architectural style and demand very little attention, so they can be useful for filling the gaps where objects feel a little too rigid.'
Featuring a mix of cascading ferns, spider plants and potted pelargoniums, this abundant display creates a feeling of an indoor jungle in this family living space.
2. Soften partition shelving
(Image credit: Future / Mary Wadsworth)
A selection of different indoor plants can make the perfect finishing touch to a room divider in an open-plan living room.
As well as providing pops of vibrant color, plants with sculptural, organic forms are a fabulous antidote to the strong architectural lines of contemporary partition shelves.
Styled with a mix of plant species placed at different heights (from top: Devil's Ivy, Snake plant and Philodendron), these shelves help subtly zone this living and dining space while maintaining a light and airy feel throughout.
3. More is more
(Image credit: deVOL)
When it comes to decorating with plants don't hold back, as abundance is the key to a successful botanical theme, says Helen Parker, creative director at Devol . From shelves and windowsills and even hanging from the ceiling, think creatively about how you can use them to create an immersive and magical feel.
'Just popping a couple of plants on your windowsill isn’t enough, they need to become part of the room,' she says.
'Abundance is important, the more you commit to the botanical theme the more impressive it looks, walking into a foliage-filled room is uplifting,' adds Parker. 'It is high maintenance but really worth the effort when they flourish and your room is ever-changing with new growth.'
4. Layer plants at different heights
(Image credit: Loop Living)
Layering plants is a lovely way to bring life and interest to a white living room. 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.
'Plants with variegated leaves and strokes of pink are great as decor elements because of their dramatic contrasts. They literally look like an artist created them,' says Eli Manekin.
'I always recommend potting in white planters in simple shapes, as these don't compete with your plant.'
5. Decorate with indoor trees to create a focal point
(Image credit: Future / Paul Raeside)
If the indoor jungle look is too much, just a few carefully positioned can be enough to elevate a space. When decorating with plants, homeowners are increasingly searching for large statement plants to create a focal point say the experts.
'We are seeing a trend for people to use house plants not as accessories for a room but as an integral design element, treating plants the same way they would treat furniture or art pieces,' says Hollie Newton, chief creative officer of Sproutl . 'Using plants architecturally as part of a design scheme can instantly transform any space. '
For plants to make a statement try the banana tree, elephant's ear, pygmy date palm or indoor trees like citrus or fig trees. This weeping fig tree really makes the most of this high-ceiling Georgian dining room and helps lead the eye upwards to the beautiful architectural coving.
6. Place plants on the windowsill

The windowsill is the perfect place to display light-loving house plants. However, when it comes to how to care for house plants in winter, be careful about keeping them here – while they will appreciate the daylight, some can be damaged by the drafts and fluctuations in temperature.
‘Be mindful of extremes – flowing air vents, fireplaces or proximity to exterior doors. Plants thrive in a consistent environment, where possible position plants away from areas that fluctuate frequently,’ advises Emily Wight, co-founder of indoor plant store Foli .
7. Arrange plants around the bed
(Image credit: Paul Raeside)
As places of recuperation and relaxation, bedrooms are the perfect place to embrace biophillic design – the practice of using nature to bring harmony. By placing the best air cleaning plants near your bed, you can help create a healthy environment for sleep.
'Your bed is likely to be the centrepiece of your bedroom and can easily be freshened up by surrounding it with air purifying plants, which will help encourage relaxation and aid a good night's sleep,' says Beth Chapman, founder of Leaf Envy .
'Not only will clustering plants near your bed create a beautiful display, but they will also eliminate airborne toxins from your room. Try mixing medium size plants, like the Calathea Orbifolia, and pair with large plants that have arching fronds, like the Kentia Palm.'
8. Create a bathroom oasis
(Image credit: Future / Brent Darby )
Bathrooms can easily be overlooked when it comes to decorating with plants, but as humid spaces they make the perfect environment for many indoor plants, plus will help bring a magical, spa-like feel to the space.
'When selecting what plants you would like to add to your bathroom, consider the lighting in the space to ensure it’s suitable for your plants to flourish in,' says Leaf Envy's Beth Chapman. 'Dedicate windowsills to plants that require that extra bit of lighting, and for bathrooms with low lighting, opt for plants like the Boston Fern that loves humidity.'
9. Think about the container
(Image credit: deVOL)
When arranging indoor plants think about the pot or container they are displayed in and choose a vessel to match your decor. Terracotta pots will bring rustic charm perfect for farmhouse kitchens while a woven basket would be perfect for bringing texture to a Scandinavian living room.
'I find potting plants up in old terracotta pots and vintage garden urns makes them feel more special and cohesive,' says Helen Parker of Devol.
Whatever pot or vessel you chose ensure it have good drainage – leaving house plants sitting in standing water is a recipe for failure!
10. Group plants on a table
(Image credit: Future / Carolyn Barber)
Whether part of your entry table decor ideas or displayed on a table by a window, clustering plants together is a lovely way to create a decorative focal point. For best results pick a variety of different leaf shapes and forms, and stagger the heights, placing the tallest at the back and small pots at the front.
11. Brighten up a corner

It can be tricky to know what to do with an empty living room corner, but adding a large houseplant will instantly bring purpose and brighten up the space.
'Incorporating plants and greenery into a space helps it to feel layered and welcoming, adding natural texture, organic shapes and a pop of color to the room,' says Katie Lion, senior interior designer at Kitesgrove .
'Here, we have added a fig tree into the corner of the room to visually soften the space and enrich the green tones within the room palette. Plants offer a sense of wellbeing and calm to a space, bringing the outdoors in for a balanced interior that you want to spend time in.'
How do you decorate a room with plants?
There are endless ways to decorate a room with plants. For maximum impact, layer plants of different shapes and textures – from trailing varieties to big leafy palms – and display them at different heights, to create an immersive, indoor jungle feeling. Alternatively, select a few statement plants to create focal points within a room.
Plants are a brilliant tool for softening living spaces, particularly those with strong angles and architectural features, and look particularly effective incorporated into bookshelf ideas or grouped as part of your mantel decor ideas. 'Remember plants and greenery will add life to your shelving, so be sure to include them to bring a sense of the outdoors in and help ground the space,' says Emma Deterding, founder and creative director, Kelling Designs .
However, before you decorate a room with plants, 'the first thing to consider is the environmental needs of your houseplants: do they need plenty of direct sunlight? Or prefer somewhere dark and cool?' says Sam Hood co-founder and chief creative officer at Amara .
'If this extra care sounds like too much work, faux plants or dried stems like pampas grass and eucalyptus look just as natural and can be homed in stylish vases and planters.'
(Image credit: Future / Paul Raeside)
How should I arrange my living room with plants?
There are many ways to incorporate plants into your living room from incorporating them into your living room shelving to hanging them as part of your wall decor.
'Mixing different sizes, styles and textures of pots in complementary colours is a sure way to create an individual style and identity to your home space,' says Beth Chapman, founder of Leaf Envy.
'Groups of three work well, in varying heights. If you like a more minimal style, try placing a favourite plant cutting in a propagation container as a feature and enjoy watching it flourish.'

Review and interior ideas +Video
How indoor plants can decorate the interior: florists' recommendations and photos. People always try to decorate their own homes with green plants and fresh flowers. At the moment, this direction has become especially popular, because there are many design ideas where you want to use a lot of plants.
They can bring harmony to the house, make it beautiful, cozy and even unique. The main thing is that all the features of the choice and placement of a living plant in the interior of a private house or apartment are taken into account. So, we will tell you how plants can decorate the interior. nineOl000
General
Features
The use of living plants inside a living space has its own characteristics and helps to solve several problems at the same time. nine0007
Live plants can help:
- Add aesthetics to your home.
- In air purification, as they are a living filter.
- Dispose to relaxation and rest.
- Used to zone the space.
Let's take a look at the benefits of home gardening.
Benefits of landscaping the interior
Even in those moments when frost crackles outside the window or the rain beats, which is boring, you can feel as if you are in a summer garden or even a blooming greenhouse. All this is possible due to the fact that the house eats live plants. It is impossible to overestimate their influence and the importance of their role in the design of a residential building. They help decorate a person’s home, and besides, they are of great benefit, because they are able to saturate the air with oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide. nine0007
But even this is not the whole benefit that flowers have for a person. Green spaces can improve your overall well-being, and this is especially needed by city dwellers who cannot afford to leave the city at a park or forest at any time and just wander around. Fresh herbs with a wonderful aroma and flowers can cheer up everyone. But with all the great love for plants, you should design your home in such a way that everything fits together organically - decor, flowers, furniture. You should choose one specific style and then it remains to stick to it. nine0007
Moreover, it will not be superfluous to know which plants get along well together, and which are not able to coexist. For some, a lot of light is required, while for others, on the contrary, direct sunlight is undesirable. For some plants, constant and abundant watering is required, while for the rest, excessive moisture is a direct contraindication. You should also think about the containers in which the plants live. Pots and vases must necessarily correspond to the size of the root system, and such a nuance should be taken into account. In this case, your plants will be able to bring you only positive emotions. nine0007
How to make an idea come true
How to choose plants for your house and apartment
Indoor plants have been able to firmly take their place in the niche of home decoration items. Their choice is so large that it is very easy to get lost in such a variety. For this reason, it is worth knowing what style you prefer, and, based on this, choose flowers. How to decorate the house with indoor plants? At the moment, the orchid is incredibly popular, which can decorate any interior, and its shades and colors can amaze with their diversity - blue, white, yellow, pink and even purple! In addition, camellia can be attributed to such flowering plants that are able to please only with their beauty. Most people try to be fashionable and decorate the space with flowers such as echmea, clivia, stephanotis and gardenia. nine0007
Exotic is also not losing ground. Monstera, palm, dracaena are liked by many people. Someone prefers to use anthuriums and hippeastrums in their own interior. Those who prefer large-sized plants usually opt for recurved beaker and yucca. But from the green brothers, you can definitely choose a favorite, and this is an ordinary ficus. They often decorate the interiors of houses and apartments due to the fact that such a plant pleases with its appearance and juicy foliage throughout the whole year. In addition, such a plant does not cause inconvenience, it is easy to care for it. Violets and dracaena are excellent humidifiers, and moreover, they help to enliven the space in a great way. nine0007
When decorating rooms with different purposes, both single plants and compositions can be used. Everything will depend on the space that needs to be redesigned. If not so long ago the use of artificial flowers was considered something stupid and old-fashioned, devoid of taste, it was only because it was made from cheap materials. At the moment, the imagination of manufacturers of this type of decor knows no bounds, and modern flowers of artificial origin are sometimes even difficult to distinguish from living ones. For most people, their use for decoration is considered very convenient, since they do not require care (well, except for wet cleaning). But believe me, they will not be appropriate for every room, and therefore it is worth considering all the features of the interior. nine0007
What you need for different spaces
When decorating a house or apartment, you should think carefully about which houseplants are suitable for you, for example, for a bedroom, living room, hallway or even kitchen. Before you bring all your ideas to life, you should also find out if the room chosen for the plant is suitable for such parameters as the presence of light, air, humidity and other criteria. It is also worth learning how to properly care for a plant so that after you do not have unnecessary troubles and worries. Unfortunately, flowers do not take root in all people. If you like a minimalist style, then ficus is ideal, because such an unpretentious plant in all respects can decorate your living room and will constantly supply it with oxygen. Other plants that have a thickened stem also look great. Saintpaulia and monstera can be attributed to classic houseplants. Do not overload the space with plants, even if you love them very much. nine0007
The place where it is better not to build a flowering garden is the bedroom. Flowers such as Kalanchoe and Aloe will suffice. They help to create a wonderful microclimate, and if the bedroom is small and there is no space for outdoor plants, you can place small pots on the bedside table, window sill or dressing table. Ferns and lines should be moved to another room, as they absorb oxygen, which is very important for humans at night, and emit carbon dioxide during the day, which will definitely not benefit sleeping people. nine0007
Almost all housewives love to decorate the kitchen, and this approach can be safely called the right one, because this is where the whole family gathers for lunch and evening tea, so it should be cozy and beautiful. It is worth choosing plants wisely, and decorating the kitchen correctly in such a way that green spaces do not interfere, but at the same time create a great mood. Heat-loving plants will perfectly take root here, and if you plan to place some of them on the windowsill, then you should choose what needs light. nine0007
But the sink and stove are clearly not the places where flowers would be good. Also try to avoid overly colorful and bright vegetation, which has a strong aroma. Here you can even conduct a small experiment and try exactly the style that is closer to you - modern, minimalism, or even oriental luxury. Usually, bouquets made from fresh flowers, such as tulips, sunflowers or poppies, look great in the kitchen. Choose what is closer to you. Even those compositions that are made of dry flowers will be appropriate. You can use wall ikebanas and garlands. nine0007
Plants can brighten up the interior even in the bathroom, and delicate ivory orchids can help with this. Another place where flowers would be appropriate is the hallway. Nobody will limit you in your choice if there is enough light in this room. But, as a rule, this is not at all the case, and therefore it is better to give preference to specimens that adore the shadow. It can be peperomia, sansevier, arrowroot, fatsia or dracaena.
Please note that if you have a spacious hallway, then you can decorate it with ferns. If there are problems with the place, then small flowers on special shelves and stands will look harmonious and complement the interior.
Recommendations
The art of decoration helps to transform the space in a tangible way. You can feel like an experienced artist, so do not be afraid to experiment and use original decor items as an addition. Weight is an excellent occasion to put flowering branches of apple or cherry trees in vases. Summer provides an opportunity to enjoy the wonderful aromas and beauties of field bouquets, as well as seasonal plants like peonies, roses and lilies. They can be put on a desk in the office, dining room. If you prefer fresh flowers, then it would be nice to try to keep the color scheme and the general style of the house or apartment. A few medium vases or flowerpots with flowers can create an unusually beautiful arrangement. If you have great creativity, then you can definitely turn old tins and pots into original plant containers. nine0007
It is also worth paying attention to the recommendations that help you and may even come in handy during the registration of housing. Even one beautiful and unusual plant can decorate a room and constantly draw attention to it. But if you add other types of flowers to it, then it may even lose its original attractiveness against the background of new plants. Small flowers should not be placed near a large tree, as they are able to "get lost", even if they are very beautiful. It is best if you create a separate and unique beauty ensemble. nine0007
Good advice! You should choose the ideal container for each flower, and there are many options - planters, decorative baskets or pots.
It is also worth considering the moment where exactly the plant will be located - on a shelf, window sill, dressing table or on a coffee table. There are also indoor plants that are able to delight you with their private and long flowering. These include the incredible beauty of violets, geraniums with lush inflorescences, fuchsias with large flowers. Such representatives of the flora have many varieties, which makes it possible to choose the color and size that you would like to see every day in your home. Climbing types of plants, for example, florophytums, tradescantia, asparagus, will also help to revive the interior. With their help, you can decorate empty walls or even part of furniture, create a shadow on the window, and they can braid different coasters. nine0007
If you want to add some zest to your interior, then you should pay attention to such plants as dracaena, bcca and cycas. They look like palm trees, but at the same time they are quite compact, so they will look original in any environment. It is worth remembering that very large plants will only be appropriate for spacious rooms. By , ophea, lemon, orange trees, as well as dieffenbachia help create a special mood, and they should be placed in greenhouses, halls, halls, pools. They definitely won’t be able to decorate a small room, but will only create certain problems and make you feel uncomfortable in your own home. How else to decorate the house with plants? nine0007
Many people are now fascinated by the idea of creating a miniature kitchen garden. People began to grow spices and medicinal herbs in small pots. It looks appropriate for the kitchen and benefits.
Beautiful examples
With the help of indoor plants, you can make your apartment and house attractive, and it will be cozy, stylish, and it will be comfortable for both guests and you. And for this you need to get comfortable with a simple science, which is called "phytodesign". If you learn it, you can create very beautiful compositions and oases that will be bright splashes even for gray everyday life, and will cheer you up on cloudy days. nine0007
A few good examples worth considering:
- The bottom of the trunk, which is in the floor vase, should be decorated with moss or climbing green plants.
- On the windowsill you can place a composition made of several flowers in pots. If this is done on the floor surface, then there must be an instance in the center that will be slightly larger than its counterparts. Arrange the rest in a tiered order, and preferably so that there are flowering plants. nine0016
- Phytodesign is an area that is constantly developing, and over time, you can find many interesting new products that have become popular among flower growers in record time. Due to this, you can bring the most daring ideas to life and feel like a real designer even in an apartment.
- Florarium is one of the novelties. This is the case when there are tropical plants inside a transparent vessel. This direction is fashionable, and its counterpart is the rutary. The basis for the installation of plants in a pot can be roots, tree branches or stumps. Everything looks extremely unusual and natural. nine0016
- As for the color scheme, here you should independently determine for yourself what will be best combined with curtains, wallpaper, furniture and other parts of the interior. But there are universal shades that create a cheerful mood and bring comfort and coziness to your home.
- So, in the kitchen, you can create a special and cheerful mood with the help of green and yellow flowers, which will complete the image. It is best to give preference to fragrant flowers. nine0013 Irises, roses and freesias help bring relaxation and tranquility to the bedroom, and you will be pleased to be among these flowers.
- You can also get a sense of harmony if you use yellow, white and even pink flowers. Red bursts are required to create a romantic atmosphere, and such flowers are also ways to give strength and energy.
- Lilac can give freshness, and should be placed in a vase that has a wide mouth. Moreover, it can serve as an excellent background for other plants, and you can supplement it with the help of a viburnum branch. nine0016
- Dahlia looks fresh and light, especially since this plant does not fade for a long time and looks extremely natural in absolutely any room. In a vase, you can collect several shades at once, and this will help to give the interior liveliness.
- Wildflowers, which will stand in wicker baskets, can add romance, and chic buds give sophistication when placed in a vase.
- Roses have special requirements - light flowers will look harmoniously only with white vases. Dark tones look great in gold, black and silver vessels. nine0016
- Small size orchids and exotic herbal additions will suit those who love unusual solutions.
- And one last, but no less interesting idea would be to create a phytowall in the interior. It means vertical gardening, and it can be phytostructures, phytomodules, facades and even (which has become a trend recently) phytofurniture. Structures made of moss or natural plants are more whimsical to care for, but their effect on people is positive - plants in large numbers perfectly absorb noise, reduce stress and prevent the appearance of aggression, which was confirmed by scientists. For such a phytowall, good lighting is required, and if the phytowall is large, then you also need a connection to electricity (for automatic irrigation), sewerage and water supply. nine0016
