Creative Ideas for Incorporating Houseplants into Home or Office Decor

As a plant store owner, you know that houseplants are a great way to add some greenery and natural beauty to any space, including offices. But did you know that there are many creative ways to use different types of houseplants beyond just placing them on a windowsill or tabletop? Here are some uncommon ideas that you can suggest to your customers:

 

 

1. Create a Living Wall

Living walls are a stunning way to bring the outdoors inside. A living wall is a vertical garden mounted to a wall or fence. Your customers can create a living wall by attaching a series of planters to a trellis or using a modular system designed specifically for living walls.

 

There are many types of houseplants that work well on living walls, such as pothos, spider plants, and ferns. These are known for their ability to grow quickly and adapt to a variety of growing conditions. This way your customers can create a lush and vibrant display of greenery that can improve the air quality.

 

2. Hang Plants from the Ceiling

Another creative way to use houseplants is to hang them from the ceiling. This not only adds some visual interest to the space but also helps to free up floor space. You can suggest your customers hang different types of houseplants using macrame hangers, ceiling hooks, or a combination of both.

 

Types of houseplants that work well for hanging include a string of pearls, philodendrons, and spider plants. These have trailing stems or vines that create a beautiful cascading effect when hung, adding some texture to the room.

 

3. Create a Terrarium

Terrariums are miniature gardens that are contained in glass vessels. They are a great way to showcase small plants and create a unique centerpiece for the room. To create a terrarium, your customers will need a glass vessel, soil, small plants, and decorative elements such as rocks or moss.

 

There are many different types of houseplants that work well in terrariums, such as succulents, air plants, and ferns. These are small and compact, making them perfect for creating a miniature garden that can brighten up a desk or common area.

 

4. Use Plants as Room Dividers

If your customers have an open interior design, open office space, or a large reception area, they can use different types of houseplants to create natural room dividers. This is a great way to add privacy to the space while maintaining an open and airy feel.

 

The types of houseplants work well as room dividers, such as tall and bushy plants like fiddle leaf figs, rubber plants, and snake plants. By grouping several plants together, your customers can create a natural barrier.

 

 

5. Create a Vertical Garden

Vertical gardens are similar to living walls, but instead of attaching planters to a wall, your customers can create a freestanding structure that allows them to grow different types of houseplants vertically. This is a great option if they have limited wall space or if they want to create a focal point in their space.

 

There are many different types of houseplants that work well in vertical gardens, such as ferns, ivy, and philodendron. Incorporating plants into their vertical garden can create a unique and eye-catching display that can improve air quality.

 

6. Use Plants as Art

Lastly, why not use houseplants as a form of art? Instead of traditional wall art, consider creating a living piece of art using plants. You can use moss or succulents to create a living wall art installation or display a collection of unique and interesting plants on shelves or in hanging planters.
