The Best Plants for Decorating
If you are looking for new ways to freshen up your home this year, consider adding houseplants. Struggling with home decor and interior design? Make greenery the central part of your decorating strategy. Everyone loves the look, smell, and feel of a houseplant. Plus, plants have a lot of additional benefits other than just being eye candy for you and your guests.
Physical Benefits of Houseplants
Air quality indoors, especially in winter, is always an issue. Houseplants produce extra oxygen, through the photosynthesis process, which helps reduce stress. Other health benefits to incorporating plants into your space include mood improvement, increased focus and performance, fewer headaches or side effects that coincide with poor air quality, and a boost to dry skin and respiratory problems due to dry air.
Sizes and Placement
Selecting a variety of sizes works best for most spaces. Consider investing in some hanging pots and floor plants, as well as tabletop ones. If you have the space and creative energy, you could create a wall of hanging pots that would make a beautiful backdrop to any room.
