Plants are a staple in interior design and decorating. They bring life to your room as well as a touch of nature and life which is something that we no longer get enough of. There are so many different houseplants to choose from that many clients come to us overwhelmed with all the choices. We are here to help you make optimal selections for your space and find a plant that will serve you well.
Choose the Location
Each plant’s needs are unique for it to flourish. The amounts of sunlight (direct or indirect), water, room to grow, etc. can vary greatly depending on the type. All of this must be taken into consideration when deciding where your plant will live in your home. If the location you have in mind is away from windows, look at the plants that thrive in shady areas such as sage palms, spider plants, and dragon trees.
What Area Are You Wanting it to Fill?
Whether or not your plant will work in the space you have reserved for it depends greatly on how that plant grows. Some take up more vertical room while others grow horizontally. Climbing plants require something to hang on to as they grow, while trailing plants’ stems cascade down from their pots. Choosing a plant that grows in the same direction as the space you envisioned your plant occupying will leave you a lot happier with your choice!
Plant Qualities and Benefits
It is widely known the mood and mental health benefits that indoor plants give us, like reducing stress and increasing productivity and focus. However, plants have their own special qualities that can improve our quality of living as well! All plants increase the amount of oxygen through photosynthesis. Peace lilies, english ivy, golden pothos, and mums are all excellent at air purification. Plant leaves even absorb sound, resulting in a more peaceful atmosphere! Doing research on plant qualities will prove very helpful in receiving the greatest benefits for you and your home!
