For those who are hankering for ideas and ways to inject natural and life-affirming greener elements into your home interiors, this post is meant for you!
Although having a private garden to enjoy the nature is nothing but a wistful pipe dream for most of us, we can still creatively incorporate a garden oasis of sorts into our home.

Living Room
The living room is usually the recommended place for the living greenery to thrive. This is because this is where it receives the most sunlight. Instead of potted plants, you can also create a lush living wall bursting with vertical planters to save space. You should place these greenery at the corners to avoid contending or overwhelming the focal point. In fact, they can be an impressive living architectural feature right in your living room.
Tip: If you have a small living room, ensure that the large sofa or armchairs do not block out too much natural light from the windows.

Balcony
Hanging planters are a favourite when it comes to creating a romantic drape greenery effect with their tumbling tendrils. Instead of a living wall panel, small plants can be secured on the decorative steel frame to create a similar vertical effect. Both of these ideas help to keep plants off the floor and save space.
Tip: As balconies are usually hot and windy, be sure to choose plants which can endure the heat and dry environment. Tall greenery helps to provide some privacy and block out prying eyes too.

Walkways
There are abundant ideas to decorate with greenery; carve out additional space by installing corner shelves which can be layered with small cascading hanging plants. Arrange them strategically around photo frames or decorative elements to maximize their dramatic effect. You can also add a small vase of freshly cut flowers to instantly brighten up and make the walkway more inviting!
Tips: Cactus is a popular type of indoor plant due to its distinct architectural forms. In addition, since cactus can thrive in in filtered light and shades rather than direct light, it is most suitable for decorating shaded places like the walkways.

Kitchen
As homeowners tend tofavourr functionality over aesthetics, the kitchen is often the most overlooked places when it comes to decorating with greenery. Nevertheless, there is a simple trick to infuse practicality and decor seamlessly together to add a little bit of character and enhance the kitchen functionality; create a simple indoor herb garden to purify the air in the kitchen while you gain instant access to fresh herbs conveniently.
Tips: The most ideal place to setup your mini herb garden is next to the kitchen window to leverage on the natural light. You can easily install an extendable rod across the window to hang those potted herbs. Alternatively, you can also consider installing a vertical box planter to free up the precious kitchen counter space.

Bathroom
Transforming a monotonous bathroom into a tropical paradise is surprisingly easy with stylish potted plants. With a bit of imagination, introducing some greenery makes a private sanctuary instantly warm and inviting. Nevertheless, due to the constant high humidity and low filtered light environment, the bathroom is only suitable for certain plants that thrive in such conditions.
Tips: Orchids thrive in high humidity areas. Snake plant is a low-maintenance plant and tolerates neglect. Snack plant filters the air by removing toxins such as formaldehyde and benzene in small rooms. Peace lilies require litter watering since the high humidity of the bathroom helps to retain their moisture.
