Why Not… Decorate with Plants?

Does your décor need a refreshing upgrade? How about using plants as decorations?

Plants are extremely versatile, add oxygen into the air, and can be infused into any decorating style. These timeless treasures come in many sizes, shapes, colors, and varieties…the offerings available are endless and can accommodate everyone’s style.

When purchasing plants, it’s important to consider the placement in the home. How much sunlight does the room get?  How much space is available? How big will the plant grow? Make sure you understand what the plant needs to thrive (i.e., how much water, sunlight, soil, food, etc.). If you have small children or animals, you will also want to be aware of any plants that are poisonous. Don’t have a green thumb, no worries…There are plenty of plant varieties that require very little maintenance. Don’t fret over the container it’s planted in either, that can easily be changed to make a statement or blend seamlessly into your décor.

Need some ideas? Small pots filled with herbs would be a great addition to the kitchen. Not only will they brighten up the kitchen, they will also double as seasoning for your meals. Add a fern or hanging vine plant in the bathroom. Place a small tree in a movable pot in the living room corner or create a planter with a variety of plants as a center piece. Use your imagination and get creative!

So, what is stopping you? If you are unsure where to start, take a trip to your local nursery and explore. The staff will be able to answer all your questions and offer you suggestions based on the environment of your home. Whether you choose to bring simple or exotic plants into your home, your décor will be brought to life!
