Artificial plants & flowers

Keep your green thumbs clean with artificial plants

When you just don’t have any luck with house plants, but you like the look, choose life-like artificial plants and flowers that add color and warmth to any indoor or outdoor space. Find affordable, maintenance free options in faux plants that offer versatility as a year-long décor solution. 

Artificial plants are a great solution since there’s no need to water, pick up dead leaves or have someone look after your plants when you’re on vacation or away for work. 

Use artificial plants and flowers to bring life to your home

Think of decorative fake plants as multi-faceted tools that help you accent and dramatically shift the look and feel of any part of the home. Whether it’s rustic wood or stucco they’re sprawling across, these artificial plants will add color and life to otherwise plain spaces. 

Let potted hanging plants sprawl out over a white hutch in your bathroom or from a planter rack on a white wall on your patio. Hang pots with cascading leaves from the ceiling by your kitchen window to liven things up. Choose lifelike vines and creepers in strands of artificial garlands that you can arrange over mantles or along stone or wooden patio walls. Or choose square or rectangular wall mounted arrangements of artificial vines that you can place inbetween elegant framed artwork in your living room or den. 

Use picture ledges, glass-faced cabinets or shelving to hold exotic artificial plants such as faux cacti or succulents in living rooms or dens with high ceilings and lots of light to enhance the airy feel of the room. Add even more wow with a gorgeous domed artificial terrarium that will look incredible on a bookshelf or window sill. 

Greet guests in your entranceway with a colorful bouquet of artificial flowers in a stoneware vase with the minimalist design elements of Scandi traditional décor style. Or add color to the recesses of your bathroom with artificial roses or potted faux orchids. 

Use artificial ferns to bookend couches in your basement or den, or to border either end of your outdoor patio. Pair them with potted plants that resemble young trees from your local environment or go with something more tropical to put on your balcony or to add life to empty corners of your living room. Speaking of lively, there’s hardly a more fun option in worry-free artificial greenery for the home than a jumbly plant ball that will be right at home on a side table. 

Spruce up your dining room sideboard with an artificial bonsai tree that could fool your guests into thinking it requires hours of weekly care. Use rectangular pots holding tall, radiantly green artificial grass to help divide backyard spaces or to create visual blocking in low picture or bay windows. 

Caring for you artificial plants

Decorate dark corners with artificial flowers, trees and plants without any worry. And forget about them while on vacation. Just wipe clean with a dry cloth. Apply a delicate microfiber duster gently. Place in dark corners or areas with indirect or filtered natural light to prevent fading.
