W

hat can make a space

livelier than life itself?

Plants are among the

simplest and most primal

forms of decoration, yet

they can turn your farmhouse into a stunning

masterpiece. In her new book, Decorating with

Plants: What to Choose, Ways to Style, and How to

Make Them Thrive, Baylor Chapman brings to life

the idea of a “green renovation” and shares how

easy it can be to incorporate foliage into your

farmhouse. From choosing your leafy houseguests

to styling them, here are a few ways to take your

home from “can’t” to “plant” in a matter of days.

To make great use of small

spaces, line up plants of

varying heights next to

each other to boost the

dimensions of your foliage.
