How to give your interior a green upgrade 🌱

Plants are more than decoration. They bring calm, color, life — and personality — into your home. Whether you’re dreaming of an urban jungle or a minimalist oasis, the right styling turns any plant into a showstopper. In this blog, I’ll guide you through the world of plant styling — from pots to placement, textures to combinations.


🪴 The right spot: light, mood & balance

Every plant has her preferences. Some love a sunny windowsill, others thrive in shady corners. But styling goes beyond placement:

  • Light sets the mood: a Monstera in dappled light evokes tropical vibes, while a Sansevieria in a dim corner brings calm.
  • Balance the room: place a tall plant next to a low cabinet to add height, or use trailing plants to soften empty corners.
  • Green as a focal point: one large plant in a stylish pot can anchor an entire room.

🎨 Pots & materials: the finishing touch

The pot is your plant’s stage. Choose with intention:

  • Terracotta adds warmth — perfect for boho or Mediterranean styles.
  • Ceramics in white or pastel make your plant feel fresh and modern.
  • Concrete or black steel gives an industrial edge.

Tip: play with height. Use plant stands, hang them up, or try a tiered setup for a playful effect.


🧘 Plants by interior style

Every style has its plant match:

Mix leaf textures and colors for extra depth — think glossy vs. matte, deep green vs. variegated.


🧺 Grouping & combining

Green works best in clusters:

  • Odd numbers (3 or 5) feel more natural.
  • Combine different heights and leaf shapes..
  • Group plants on a sideboard, windowsill, or open shelf.

Bonus: add accessories like books, candles, or stones for a botanical vignette.


🧼 Maintenance that enhances style

A well-styled plant is also a well-cared-for plant:

  • Wipe leaves with a damp cloth or banana peel for extra shine.
  • Remove dead leaves for a fresh look.
  • Use a beautiful watering can or mister — practical and decorative.

🌟 Finally: your green signature

Styling with plants is personal. It reflects your taste, rhythm, and space. Whether you choose one statement plant or a full jungle, let your plants tell your story.
