However, natural plants require constant effort, so artificial plants are the perfect solution today. They’re hard to distinguish from real ones, and they won’t die, change color, or outgrow the space in your home.
To help you out, here are the best ways to arrange artificial plants in your home:
1. Design a Plant Shelf:
If you don’t want to fill your shelves with trinkets and books, or are concerned about blocking light with too many objects, use two to three shelves and place small pots in various colors and textures. It’s best to stick to a color palette that complements the rest of your room's decor. Then, fill the pots with your preferred artificial plants or use parts of larger artificial plants to create a unique arrangement that reflects your personal style.
2. Use Unique Plant Pots to Attract Attention:
Real plants grow quickly, which requires frequent repotting. However, artificial plants can be placed in any container without restriction. You can choose your plant pot based on its aesthetic appeal, such as jars, buckets, statues, vases, or any other containers that match your home’s decor. If you have an empty corner on the floor or a side table, try grouping your artificial plants with the pots and other statues to create an attractive focal point. Be sure to vary the sizes and shapes to give it a natural and distinctive look.
3. Use Hanging Plant Pots:
Hanging plant pots made of macramé have become very popular in recent years, and they don’t seem to be disappearing anytime soon. You can purchase these pots from various stores or online, then hang artificial vines and different plants inside them and place them in windows. This arrangement is perfect for kitchen and bathroom windows, as well as dark areas where live plants have difficulty growing.
4. Create a Glass Plant Terrarium:
A glass terrarium is a small garden inside a glass container, where the plants trap moisture and recycle it. However, caring for it can be very difficult, as it requires regular pruning to maintain its appearance. Fortunately, you can achieve the same effect using artificial moss and small artificial plants, offering you a low-maintenance aesthetic option. Glass terrariums make a great addition to coffee tables, side tables, or cabinets, adding an elegant touch to the space.
5. Add Backlighting for Artificial Plants:
This idea can be applied to any room, but it’s especially popular in formal dining rooms, patios, and balconies. To choose the right design, get a pot you like, and place an artificial plant that’s at least 75 cm tall inside it. Then, place it in a dark corner of the room or outdoor space. Use a spotlight or dim lights to direct the light towards the wall behind it or wrap small lights around the artificial plant. This will help create a warm and cozy atmosphere while providing soft lighting for dark spaces.
6. Mount Artificial Plants on Driftwood:
If you love calm, beachy, or tropical vibes, try using pieces of driftwood in your home decor. It’s best to choose faded pieces or ones that have a natural appearance that complements your decor. Then, attach small artificial plants to the driftwood so they look like they are naturally growing from the corners and cracks. You can use any type of artificial plant, but succulents and air plants are great options for this style.
