LIVING ROOM

As a busy part of the home, the living

room is worth making a designated

area for potted plants. Choose plants in

pots that match the scale of your other

furniture, but bear in mind that your

plants will need room to grow too.

Seventies pot stands are back in our

home stores, so smaller starter plants

can be elevated to fit more easily

alongside larger specimens.

If you have shelves or sideboards,

smaller plants can be displayed in

groupings and still make a strong impact.

HOUSEPLANTS

You don’t need to spend thousands or have the greenest

fingers to transform your home with houseplants. This handy

guide will help you choose the best ones for every room and

position in your living area. Not only do they help purify the air,

but they add life and freshen your space, helping to make over

even the most sterile of spaces.

Palms and orchids
