Group plants together to create an urban jungle

Create a lush vibe by placing a mix of plants on plant stands. A good rule of thumb for a visually pleasing arrangement: place larger, leafier plants on the bottom shelves or on the floor, and smaller ones on the upper shelves.

A truly evergreen wall

Create a lush vertical garden with – wait for it – artificial plants. Best of all, they don’t require a green thumb – no watering needed.

Minimal plant pots for maximum impact

Going for a sleek and minimal look, but still want plenty of plants? Then choose plant pots in the same colour – but in different sizes to fit your plants – to keep the look clean and elegantly tied together.

Flowers that are always fresh

Place tall-stemmed flowers and branches – that never wilt and never need water – in clear glass vases for a romantic look. Clear objects let light through and create interesting silhouettes when placed next to a window.

An ode to nature

Create an inspiring still-life setting with various plants and flowers in different vases and plant pots. To create visually pleasing layers, place plant pots in the back row on a pile of books. If you don’t have enough flowers, a good tip is to add artificial ones for a fuller look.
