Wall Décor

Bring the outdoors in by turning your walls into a living work of art with foliage-filled frames or hanging planters. Choose plants with trailing vines or ones that cascade down to look like they are spilling out of their frame or container. Ferns, philodendrons, and pothos are great options for this arrangement.

Statement Pieces

If you want a bolder impact, find large decorative pots or planters that make a statement when placed against a wall or even as the focal point of a room. Many places now sell unique two-toned pots, easily becoming the centrepiece of any room’s decor.

Living Sculpture

Instead of purchasing sculptures that may be outdated in a few years, why not try making one with house plants? Gently shape wireframes into animals, geometric shapes, words/phrases and other forms, then add trailing tropicals such as Swedish Ivy (Plectranthus australis), fleshy stems from vining succulents (such as String Of Pearls) or delicate fern fronds to create one-of-a-kind pieces!

Turn any window sill into an indoor oasis with floating gardens – these small gardens use suspended containers that attach directly to glass panes without any drilling needed! Most nurseries offer terrariums with multiple compartments for different types of plants; all it needs is water once every couple of weeks and bright indirect light from nearby windowsills.
