Plants all around
Maximalism with plants is never a wrong thing so place pots and planters in any shape in your living room. Plants are said to improve air quality and also aid mental health as they reduce stress and can improve focus. Go with spider plants, jade, lavender, ferns, money plant or anything else that is easy to manage.

Choose succulents
Succulents are perfect for home environments as they thrive in dry conditions and are easy to care for. Go with a jade plant, panda plant, echeveria or burro’s tail.

Upholstery to match

To keep with the green theme around, have sheer leafy-hued curtains or even dark green cushions or upholstery on the sofa. The hue is associated with soothing and tranquil vibe.

In the bathroom
Who says you can’t have plants in the bathroom? Considering it’s a retreat-of-sorts, place your plants around with low-maintenance green plants like snake plants, syngonium and alocasia.

Go vertical

If you have no space to place pots on the floor or in corners, go vertical. Create a floating shelf on the wall of your hall or in the balcony or just place little money plants in bulbs and hang them around.
