When enrich the interiors can make use of the decoration plants: a green touch that brightens our view and that helps generate a much more sedate, peaceful and quiet atmosphere.

Sometimes we consider how to decorate the rooms ( here some ideas  from forsimplytech ) using resources that blend in with the whole. Instead of resorting to the typical elements that we usually find in homes, why not use other formulas that make spaces more dynamic?

Many times we try to be original or to look for other formulas that are more innovative, such as tropical plants . It is not necessary to resort to approaches that, finally, are inhospitable. Applying some simple and basic principles we can achieve an interesting decoration.

Why use plants for decoration?

The inclusion of vegetation in the interiors provides us with different benefits. Many people back down when deciding on this resource. This is basically due to the weekly care they require. Even so, there are species that hardly require irrigation .

If we stop at the aesthetic function of the plants, they contribute positively to the decoration. They offer a placid character and, in addition, they do not generate tension with respect to the rest of the elements; they even go unnoticed and dispense with prominence.

If we have to answer why to use them, there is no doubt that they are a good contribution . Deep down, they have a lot to say and soften the image of the room where they are, hence they are also used in public places, offices, common areas, entrance halls , etc.

They are a good choice to improve the aesthetics of the house.

Formulas for decorating with plants

So far we are clear that plants are a good contribution , but do we really know how to arrange them at home? It is not a question of applying a random process; actually, we must establish personal criteria.

  1. We have two options: the plant can be placed on a secondary plane and, therefore, not receive prominence and be a complement; or, be an attractive resource that attracts all eyes , having to choose a species that is original and novel.
  2. Where they are best are in those holes that, as a general rule, are empty: in the corners of the room, either on the floor or on a base, also on shelves or on the floor itself. The point is that they are located at specific points and that they offer meaning.
  3. It is not a question of overcharging. Ideally, we choose some typologies that can favor the environment and generate a relaxed character. They should be, in the background, like small brushstrokes that are harmoniously related to the rest of the elements.
  4. They can be in height or at ground level. In the first case, they will acquire greater aesthetic recognition and, consequently, they will be more attractive; As for the second case, they can go more unnoticed.
  5. We decide whether they should play a more prominent role in the home. However, the green color provides feelings of temperance and hope, hence the importance of using plants in decoration .

Decoration with plants in the patio

They are a very interesting resource for patios open to the outside. Being outdoors, they are better maintained and color a part of the house a little more that, in reality, does not receive such detailed attention on a decorative level.

If we analyze carefully what meaning they acquire here, they serve as a link with the nature that is outside . An exemplary case is the Andalusian patios, such as those in Córdoba , where numerous pots with vegetables are arranged, recharging the surfaces.

There is also the case of planters, which allow us to plant all kinds of species and place them on the ground or on shelves to achieve, thus, a much more curious optimal effect.

A touch of green full of sensations

Decorate with plants.

As has been commented so far, the aesthetic contribution is really notorious, but they also provide sensations that convey calm, tranquility and tranquility.

Undoubtedly, our home should be a comfortable place where we feel full well-being; for this reason, the plants also offer freshness thanks to the greenness of the leaves. In this way, we are incorporating a piece of nature into the home .

Ultimately, the use of plants is a way to purify environments , both decoratively and the aromas that we perceive in the atmosphere.
