Creating a bit of drama with plants is about having them at lots of different heights, particularly at eye level. This woven rope hanging pot looks fantastic in a corner with a trailing plant.
Adorn empty corners with some lush tropical foliage – they look stunning in baskets, like this woven seagrass one. And if you’re worried you can’t do right by a plant, fear not as faux is very in. I’m in love with this rubber plant and it looks like the real thing. And it won’t hate you for forgetting to water it. This tall planter, coupled with trailing plants, really gives that luxurious feel, and adds to that theme of having your plants at different heights
Walls just scream out to be peppered with plants, it adds that vibrant touch without picking up a paint brush. Filling this gorgeous Pine and Metal shelf with some cacti would really add that wow factor to any room.
Plants and kitchens go hand in hand, it gives it that scandi feel, and they can do double duty – herbs like rosemary or thyme give the wow in these herb pots and they’re on hand for when you’re cooking.
We all love getting fresh flowers, but dried flowers are all the rage and they won’t wilt on you. This rattan and glass vase is so on trend and would work with fresh or dried flowers – I’d style it with some dried pamphas grass. Every house must have cacti, it’s my mantra but they can be difficult beasts to tame. This cactus is definitely a statement piece, it’s got the looks but it won’t prick your fingers and you can’t over water it!
Terrariums make beautiful unique centre pieces for a table, filled with green moss and some small plants. This brass one keeps it really classy while being really striking.
We all want to be good plant parents, so we need to be on hand to water them. You might as well water them in style and use a beautiful jug like this one. It also looks great as a vase or with a trailing plant.
