DINING ROOM

Keep table-top specimens small enough to keep

in situ as a centrepiece, instead of having to

relocate them at mealtimes. Darker corners can be

freshened by larger floor-standing plants.

BEDROOM
Pick plants that purify the air while you
sleep and give you different placement
options for the most dramatic effect. Think
hanging ferns, narrow floor-standing
varietiesanddresser-toppottedplants.

Ruffle fern

Aloe vera

Peace lily

lavender

Aloe vera is capable of

removing 87% of volatile

organic compounds at night,

according to NASA research.

Philodendron

English ivy can remove chemicals

from the air, making it a good choice

for areas exposed to myriad cleaning

products. It’s poisonous to pets,

though, so keep it out of their reach.
