Let’s talk about plants!

Not only do indoor plants look good, but they make you feel good too. They effortlessly add LIFE to your space.

This post is all about greenery.

Why is greenery such an important design element in your home, you ask?

Well, while plants and greenery enhance the overall appearance of your home, when you choose to go with real plant options, they also have some amazing health benefits that can enhance your mental and physical well being.

Plants are known to increase your mood, creativity, and they can even reduce stress. I know we could all benefit from that in our lives!

They enhance the air quality in our home by removing the air of carbon dioxide and other toxins that are typically found in our indoor air.

We spend so much time inside our homes, so it is so important that we are breathing in fresh, clean air so we can continue to stay as healthy as possible.

A number one design tip of mine is to add plants and greenery to your home whether it’s artificial or real. I make sure to add greenery to any space I’m designing.

If you’re anything like me, I’m not the best at keeping my plants alive, so I gravitate toward realistic artificial options. But, I do like to add in the real options as much as possible by choosing plants that are low maintenance. 

Here are some of my favorite artificial greenery and planter options from Amazon that I have used in many of my projects! Click the links below to shop.
