How to Decorate with Indoor Plants

Looking to revitalize your space with greenery? We're here to help to make your house even more homey with bright ideas for decorating with plants.

Pick Your Plants

To create a cozy and welcoming environment, an assortment of plants is a must-have. If you are determined to make your garden grow, place potted plants and terrariums around your home. Don't have a green thumb? Go with faux! With realistic design and thoughtful details, faux plants and floral stems often look just as good without the extra work.

Go Big & Go Home

Larger plants and small trees make excellent statement pieces, adding height and balance to any room. Try the popular fiddle-leaf fig, monstera, palm or dracaena for a bold dash of nature in your living room or entry. Secure them in a couple of larger coordinating planters on stands in different sizes for a look that’s pulled together no matter how wild your greenery gets.

Flower Power

Incorporate eye-catching dashes of color throughout your space with flowering plants. If your thumb isn’t as green as it could be, you can always go for faux. Beautifully crafted, lifelike flowers and stems provide cheery decor you’ll enjoy season after season without lifting a finger (and nobody will ever guess they’re not the real deal!).

Vase Vibes

Choosing a vase is an important piece of the plant styling puzzle. Think about the mood you’re going for. If your aim is a serene atmosphere, try vases in neutral hues or cool blue and green tones. For an energizing space, a vividly colored vase offers a fun splash and can serve as a focal point for coffee tables and side tables. Use bud vases to propagate plants⁠—the clippings make great decor while they grow!

Let It All Hang Out

Another way to decorate with plants is by hanging them from the ceiling. A perfect solution for smaller pads and rooms with limited shelf space, hanging planters are having a big moment now in decorating. Try using a macramé or gold hanging planter to showcase an air plant, string of pearls or other succulents. Or, go full 1970s and hang a mist-loving fern in the bathroom!

Take A Stand

For larger plants, a standing planter or a floor plant stand are optimal choices. Create interest and balance in your decor by grouping several complementary plants in stands together at different heights, with the largest plants at floor level. A good set of standing planters will elevate the status of your prized greenery, literally!

Chic, Simple Stems

Want the look but lack the green thumb? We’ve got you. Create your own arrangements with on-trend faux plant stems, such as pampas grass, fiddle leaf fig, monstera and other popular flora. Choose your favorite containers, add your stems and you’ve got an instant, low-maintenance brightener for the living room, entry hall or a chic table centerpiece!
