Plants add that little je ne sais quoi to any room. To make the most of their brilliance, we can include them in an original way in our decor. The secret for them to thrive: provide them with optimal lighting! Ranking of the most trending ideas collected on the web.
1. Handmade suspension
Reminding us of the macrame trend, these pretty hanging shelves can be attached to the wall or the ceiling. To avoid accidents, it is better to install them near a window or in the corner of a room, well protected from collisions. DIY enthusiasts will find this project quite simple to do at home. We equip ourselves with a few wooden planks, cotton or jute cord, hooks, a drill and wicks. Several tutorials available on the Web accompany you step by step. To simplify your life, you can also opt for a model sold online or in stores (the model below is made by Knaughty Shelves, on Etsy).
2. Contemporary Plant Holder
The TEEpots system allows us to arrange our plants like works of art, to restore them to their rightful place in our decor. Designed by designer Mauro Canfori, these discreet and modern plinths fade away to highlight the plants. Hang them on the wall to save space or use them to separate different areas. Both design and could not be more chic, the metal column is presented in solo, duo or trio.
3. Green Library
Constructed from wooden pallets, this rustic piece of furniture is inexpensive, practical and fashionable. It’s worth checking with home improvement centers, they often offer free pallets to customers who request them. To properly match your creation to your home, you can coat the wood with a stain or acrylic paint, after having sanded the surface well. All you have to do is put your pots, planters and books there! With a little imagination and resourcefulness, you will have created a charming library for your favorite plants.
4. Vegetable Division
Open spaces, although popular, can sometimes be a real headache to develop. To separate the space without harming the flow of light, we use an openwork low cabinet, to which we can add our plants. This kills two birds with one stone: the colored foliage embellishes the space while serving as a screen! To create such a division, we recycle an aesthetic piece of furniture on all its facets. Indeed, in an open area, a piece of furniture must be pretty… even from the back! All you have to do is add your most beautiful plants. Whether you prefer a clean look or an abundance of greenery is up to you.
5. Garden… vertically
Practical and fabulous, the Garden Therapy pot cover kit is installed directly at the window, for optimal lighting! House, apartment or loft, this type of layout is suitable for all accommodations. Just choose the sunniest opening for guaranteed success. In order to set up this practical little garden, we select light pots that have at least one flat surface. All that remains is to stick suction cups on it, and voila! Fresh herbs are placed there to enhance meals all year round.
