Indoor plant styling idea: invest in decorative planters
When it comes to indoor plants, what you plant them in is as important as the plants themselves. Think about your decor style, your colour palette, and what would work in your living room. If yours is a boho chic home, go for woven baskets or macramé planters, or if your style is a bit more maximalist, then make a statement and choose a bright or novelty pot. Terrazzo planters look super stylish in a minimalist home, whilst concrete pots work well in an industrial style living room.
If you’re using outdoor plant pots, avoid disaster by remembering to include a tray or something to catch moisture. Otherwise, you’ll end up with wet patches on your flooring or surfaces every time you water.
