How to update your home with plants
Updating your home decor with plants is a quick and easy. Everyone’s interior design style is different, but adding plants is a fun way to update and add life to any space. A little piece of greenery gives off a feeling of happiness to anyone that walks in.
Concrete decor has a modern feel to it. I found this pot at Walmart and thought it would be the perfect finishing touch for the empty space on the end table. The natural look of the concrete makes the surrounding area feel fresh and clean.
Color is another easy way to spruce up a room. This yellow cheery pot is from Michaels. Bright colors draw peoples attention to certain areas of the room and makes that space feel lively and upbeat. Yellow is an especially uplifting color. When you add a house plant the green of the leaves pairs perfectly with the yellow.
There are so many sizes, colors and styles of pots that you will be able to find one that suits your style. Pots are available everywhere. You can even use something that is not specifically for plants. Just make sure that you add some packing peanuts or some small stones in the bottom of the pot to help with the drainage.
Pick houseplants that are easy to take care of. Read the labels to see how much water and sunlight they require and follow those recommendations.Taking care of houseplants is so easy if you are consistent. If you set aside a few minutes once per week to check on them, they will survive.
The downward slope towards spring is before us, but with these dreary winter days it seems to get longer and longer. So adding some plants around the house gave me a little feeling of spring and is helping to get rid of my winter blues. Another perk to having indoor plants is that most are generally easy to care for. (if you follow the recommendations). Yes, you have to read the little tag that comes with the plant:)
