Potted plants are having a resurgence and thanks to the multitudes of ways you can bring more greenery into your home, there’s never been a better time to join the trend and invite more plants into your life.

Whether you’re looking for big bold plants that can fill a corner and bring its surroundings to life, potted plants that can provide both a great conversation starter and a calming experience or the tiny bulbs that can be placed on a shelf with the sole aim of looking adorable, there are so many different ways you can incorporate more greenery into your interiors.

One of the easiest ways to start is to take a look around and get inspired – look at the ways people use plants in their own environments and see how you can translate that into your own space.

From there, it’s just the simple matter of deciding which look you’re going for. For bigger rooms, try plants that will be at home taking up a lot more space like a large cactus or ficus tree. These can be super handy in that they might even work better in the room than a piece of furniture or some artwork, as well as creating a more natural feel for the area as a whole.

But don’t be discouraged if you haven’t got a lot of space to play with; smaller rooms can be spruced up just as easily. Hanging plants can create a great sense of the proportions and bring attention to the different levels within the room, while tiny plants such as those in mini terrariums can be placed throughout the home at regular intervals, or even a dedicated space such as a shelf or windowsill.

For those of us who don’t have a natural talent for growing plants, or even managing to keep them alive, the market has been brightened considerably with the introduction of more realistic artificial plants that still give the same sense of nature and cheerfulness, without the inevitable gloom of having to throw away a dead plant and start all over again.
