Green up your month
Here we show a range of tips on how to transform your home with easy green changes.


Bring your outdoors, indoors
If you have trees or plants outside to prune, save a cut off branch and bring it inside. Set in water to add life to any corner instead of letting it go to waste.
Time to shed the winter layers
A still life full of life
Trimmed parts can easily get a second life in a glass of water. Combine and gather them to create a mini garden. Set on a lazy Susan, you can tailor both look and light.
Planting virtually comes with satisfaction guaranteed. There are just so many beautiful ways you can use it. Find what’s right for you. Whether you prefer a few seedlings or full jungle, or even fake plants, you can’t go wrong.”

Rearrange your green furniture
Like seating, tables and shelves, plants are part of your furniture. Adding to or rearranging them – extra easy with wheeled plant pots – can mean just as much for a room, not least to add a
refreshing sense of greenery.
The great mismatch
Mixing and matching is fine – but a good mismatch can be even better. Grouping materials, shapes and colours has a way of creating a unique expression.
Grow a garden from scratch
Naturally, plants aren’t just something to behold. Make it an activity with a few paper cups and some potting soil, and nurture a new generation from the seed up.
Give the newcomers a window seat
Once you have seeds sprouting, there will likely be visible progress for months to come. Also, it’s a drama that everyone in the family can take part in.
Hang your evergreens on the wall
While gardening may not be for everyone, even the sense of a plant – or, in this case, its image – can be enough to raise the mood (follow link to read more).
