Greening Your Home with Plants

“Green is the prime colour of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises.”  Pedro Calderon de la Barca

One of the simplest (and most inexpensive) ways to spruce up your living space while enhancing your wellbeing is adding greenery to your indoor spaces. With a myriad of options for green thumbs and beginners alike, there’s a plant out there for just about anyone. Whether you consider yourself plant-challenged or garden savvy, here are four great reasons why you should green your home with plants.

 

  1. Plants are beautiful.They are living art that breathes life into corners, shelves, and dead spaces. Try hanging them at different heights to add interest to your living room; air plants in clear glass baubles are a fantastic addition to almost any space. You could even create a green wall, or liven up your space with cascading ivy. But if potted plans are more up your alley, these can also be artfully displayed; we suggest layering different leaf textures and selecting plant pots that match the room and add personality to your greenery. Whatever your choice, plants add instant colour to your interiors, without clashing with other tones.

 

  1. Plants add life to your home.Goodbye, sterile, spiritless house. Hello vibrant green energy! A home in which plants thrive is a home that is alive, loved and lived-in. What’s not to love about that?

 

  1. Plants help support good physical health. They purify indoor air by absorbing harmful chemicals while also regulating humidity. Their ability to clear the air of toxins is just one of the perks of turning your home into a haven of green.

 

  1. Plants have a calming effect that supports your emotional wellbeing. Your home should be an inviting retreat from the negative effects of city living. Cue green life force! Plants are believed to reduce stress and make you more creative and productive by giving you an overall sense of wellbeing. Scientific studies have confirmed what, deep down, we already know: nature invigorates us.So go on… Bring the outside in. The room will feel fresh and alive, and so will you. We promise.
