10 Creative Ways To Add Plants To Your Decor

Adding plants to your decor is such a fun way to bring life, color, & texture into your space. And not only do they make a space look amazing, but plants have been proven to be a positive impact on our moods, increase creativity, and decrease pollutants in our air—making for a happier & healthier you.

Let’s explore some of the creative ways you can incorporate plants into your decor:

1. Living Walls: Create a stunning living wall by using the vertical square footage in your space to hang wall mounted planters or shelves to create groupings of plants. This can be done both indoors or outdoors, but is a great way to bring the outdoors in, without taking up valuable floor space.

2. Hanging Planters: Install decorative hooks or ceiling mounts to hang plants at different levels. You can use macramé hangers, colorful or textured hanging pots, or repurpose old containers for a unique touch. Layering plants at different heights will spread visual interest throughout the room.

3. Terrariums: Design your own miniature ecosystem by creating a terrarium with succulents, moss, and small decorative objects. Choose interesting containers such as glass jars, fishbowls, or fun geometric terrariums.

4. Plant Stands: Use stylish plant stands or pedestals of varying heights to create a visual interest. Mix and match different plant types and sizes to create a unique and creative grouping. Plants will bring an element of softness to the space.

5. Window Gardens: Utilize your windows and windowsills to create an indoor garden. Arrange plants in groups on the sill, or use hanging shelves/pots in the window itself, to maximize space. This is a great spot for your plant babies to get the natural light they need, and to allow natural light in without using a traditional window covering.

6. Floating Shelves: Install floating shelves on a wall and decorate them with potted or propagating plants of different sizes. Use colorful or textured containers that coordinate with the overall look and feel of your space. Combine other decor such as books, candles, picture frames, etc. with your plants to achieve an overall cohesive design.

7. Repurposed Containers: Think outside the box and repurpose unique items as plant containers. Things like Teacups, mason jars, and used candle vessels can all be used as unique planters. Doing this will add visual interest to your decor and is a great way to decorate on a budget. 

8. Artwork: Incorporate elements of nature in artwork. Hang art such as, botanical prints or paintings of plants and flowers to add a touch of nature to your walls. Artwork is a great way to bring color and visual interest into a space.

9. Make a Statement: Adding oversized plants to your space is sure to make a statement and create a sense of height. Positioning a large potted plant, such as a fiddle leaf fig, in an empty space will make a big impact and be a great conversation piece. 

10. Plant Groupings: Try pairing plants together in groups for a fuller look. Create a table top or corner focal point by grouping plants of varying heights together. These groupings will fill space with minimal effort.

There are really endless possibilities of how to decorate with plants. The main thing is to enjoy the process of adding greenery to your space and let your creativity flourish! Just remember to consider the lighting conditions of your space, and the specific care requirements of the plants you choose when incorporating them into your decor. And then sit back and let them bring your space to life.
