1. Add plants on a floating shelf. Whether you add a simple shelf or a floating shelf with decorative brackets, adding plants to these shelves can bring a simple decorative touch to any space.
2. Create a plant space in your home where you can get the most natural lighting.
3. Use coffee cups, tea cups, or even espresso cups. You can add tiny plants to these cups and set them out in your kitchen. You can choose bright colors to create a pop of color.
4. Add your artificial plants to pots with creative designs. You can choose colorful, creative patterns, or even solid color pots. Select a style that best fits your home decor.
5. Use decorative woven baskets to place your plants in.
6. Use small plants to place them on bookshelves. You can add them between books or at the end of your books.
7. Use mini pots in your design.
8. Hang artificial hanging vines from shelves. Choose an area in any room or multiple rooms, and create a shelf that has some sort of hanging vine. Place it on the shelf and add other decor items to create a clean look that easily flows.
9. Add taller artificial plants near your front entrance. You can add a taller plant near the entryway so that it is one of the first things you see when you enter through your front door. If you have an entry table, you can also add a plant there as well.
10. Create a mini plant shelf in your kitchen. You can actually create a shelf using just a few materials. On this shelf, you can add mini pots, decorative pattern pots, or whatever it is that you think will fit into your kitchen design.

Going down to my finished basement we have "window box type" holders on either side and have had them filled with artificial flowers for years. They are a mix of taller flowers and those that hang down in vine form as well over the sides. Certainly easier to maintain than real flowers though they do require some washing every now and then to get rid of the dust. I like the coffee cup ideas as well!
ReplyDeleteScott, thank you for stopping by. I love the window box idea. I actually have a few artificial plants around my shed outside. -Of course I went with ones that looked more realistic since they would be outside. And I agree they are much easier to care for. Yes you have to still wash them to get rid of any dust build up. Again, thank you for stopping by.
DeleteThanks for the idea.We do have a few artificial plants in our house but most are natural plants. Probably I will start investing more on the artificial ones from now for the ease of maintaining compared to the real ones.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by! And yes, I find it much easier to care for artificial plants. :)
DeleteThanks for sharing. My house definitely needs some life in it. I would really love to have a big 5 ft Artificial plant in my living room.
ReplyDeleteThis is fab. Do like both real and artificial plants. You have some great ideas here xx
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteThere are so many artificial plants that look SO REAL! I love plants and flowers but unfortunately my lifestyle doesn't really allow me to keep and maintain living plants. These are great, I need to try and recreate some of these ideas.
ReplyDeleteLuLu, thank you! And yes I agree there are so many that look real. Thank you so much for stopping by.
DeleteI LOVE the variety that artificial plants allow. On one hand, you have the super lifelike plants that allow people who may have a tendency to kill anything living to create a 'green space' in their home. On the other hand, it opens the door to bringing in plants that you wouldn't otherwise be able to keep. There are some GORGEOUS tropical plants that would never survive in our climate!
ReplyDeleteI love tropical plants! I have seen a few artificial ones that was beautiful. Thank you for stopping by.
DeleteGiven that taking care of plants can be a lot of work, I would opt to go the route you have shown here. I really love how realistic some of these artificial plants look. I just tend to have a problem with the dust that they collect. It's kind of hard to dust all the leaves.
ReplyDeleteAlexandra, yes I make sure that when I am dusting in my home that I go around and wipe the plants down as well. I've noticed even when I had read plants I had to still go around and wipe the leaves down. But I can see that becoming a pain for some people. Thank you for stopping by.
DeleteI love the idea of artificial plants - look beautiful and fresh and there's no chance of them dying! :P I have a few artificial succulents in colourful small pots on the table that look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love succulents. I've always thought that they look so pretty. And yes there is no chance of them dying. :) Thank you for stopping by.
DeleteI have such a love hate relationship with artificial plants. I love that that don't die but I also want the "real" plants. Maybe I just need to figure out a happy medium between the two :)
ReplyDeleteLaura, I can understand that. I used to think, "Oh boy, I'll have to dust artificial plants," but I realized that's true for real plants, too. It's strange; my flower garden outside does so well, but the minute I try to get an indoor plant to survive, it's over, haha.
