CHECK YOUR LIGHT
First things first, you gotta figure out how much light each room gets. Some plants love basking in the sun all day, while others prefer chilling in the shade. Just make sure you put the right plant in the right spot, and they'll be happy campers. I've got a list of some trendy plants that are in season now, plus a handy chart that shows you how to take care of them.
CREATE BALANCE
Plants are my favorite way to add some style to a room without spending a ton of money. They look great with any vibe you're going for. The trick is to place them around the room so that your eyes naturally move from one plant to another. It creates a nice flow and balance that ties everything together.
CONSIDER VARIETY
When you're picking out your plants, switch it up! Grab different heights, shapes, and sizes to keep things interesting. They're perfect for filling in spots where other decor might not work. Like in the kitchen, a couple of plants on either side of the sink can really liven up the space without getting in the way when you're cooking. And hey, why not add some fresh herbs or an aloe vera plant? They're practical and pretty!
ADD STYLE
To really make your plants stand out, put them in some cool pots or planters. Hanging baskets, boxes, crocks, bowls, or even plant stands can help each plant make a statement and add some extra style to your room.
BE INTENTIONAL
The most important thing is to be purposeful about where you put your plants. Keep the lighting in mind and don't be afraid to move some of your other decor around to make room for your new green friends. You can put them almost anywhere – coffee tables, bookshelves, window ledges, you name it!
