6 Creative Ways To Decorate with Houseplants

Published by

You may have noticed common houseplants such as succulents, monsteras, and philodendrons have swept Instagram, Pinterest, and bookshelves with horticulture couture lately. Ready to be a proud plant parent, but not sure how to arrange indoor plants and incorporate them into your everyday life? Not to worry, we’ve got you covered!

Houseplants are known for their air-purifying tranquility, but let’s talk aesthetics. Obviously, you need a plan when it comes to styling these green goddesses so they actually make sense in your home. Here are a few creative ideas for plant containers that let you show off your green thumb.

Gone Coastal

Looking for a summery change of pace in your living space? Scavenge the beach (or the internet) for large seashells and driftwood that make for creative indoor planter ideas. Plant a succulent garden into the broad base of a shell and add sea glass and shell chips for soil coverage, or place air plants in crevices of driftwood to create an all-natural coastal vibe.

Basket Case

Baskets are abundant in the décor world; why not put them to use by inserting plastic saucers at the base and placing your favorite leafy friend inside?

Hang in There

Hanging planters come in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and materials.  This macrame planter adds a bit of boho chic without all the fuss.

Create a focal point on your wall with woven bowls and air plants for low-maintenance foilage and a creative conversation starter.

A Pretty Propagation

I like to clip leggy vines of golden pothos plants for the sole purpose of propagation. Use bottles and vases filled with water to establish a healthy home for them–and create some eye candy for windowsills and shelves.

Wherever you choose to keep your plant babies, make sure they get plenty of partial sunlight to watch your handiwork truly come to life!
