Indoor plants infuse a living space with life, bringing interest and personality to any room in the house. If you’re looking for something a little more unique, choose a plant that sports the occasional flower or flashy foliage. With so many colors, shapes, and textures to choose from, there’s a plant to suit every interior. These days, indoor plants are a relatively affordable way to enhance your living space, but it hasn’t always been that way. For centuries, houseplants were seen as a luxury only available to the extremely wealthy. Plants were first used for ornamental purposes in China, as early as 1000 B.C. It wasn’t until the Victorian era that houseplants had taken route in middle-class homes.

Note from our designers

Earthy palettes can create a warm and relaxing living space; however, using too many similar tones can make your room feel a little drab. To avoid this, balance out space with a combination of warm and cool tones and break up dark colors with accent shades. Indoor plants are ideal for adding a pop of color while still keeping that natural vibe. Finish the look with plenty of textured soft furnishings and accessories.
