How to decorate with plants

Large potted indoor plants aren’t necessarily harder to care for than tiny houseplants – and they give you more bang for your effort. Find some easy tips for decorating with large plant pots in different styles and ways. Even fake plants can make a refreshing green impact if you don’t have the time or a green thumb.

Divide a room with plants

It takes only one or a few strategically placed oversized houseplants to make your home feel like the oasis of your dreams. Most big plant pots look great on the floor, while the smaller ones look adorable on nightstands and accent tables. Match a wide indoor tree with a plant pot that’s wide in the opening.

Create privacy from the busy street with plants

Take your indoor garden to new heights with tall plants that give a big impression. Not only do they add beauty to your window, but they can add privacy where needed, too. If your windows are small, extend the feeling of green happiness and use a shelf to showcase your smaller friends.

Infuse lush green flair in a shady space

Because sometimes you just don’t have light — or time. Fake plants can look so real they become a go-to for anyone looking to add texture to dimly lit corners and for those craving a pop of refreshing green without the plant care. Add a perfectly sized natural fiber basket and you’ll have a nice beachy touch.

Show off your green thumb with plant stands

Plant stands filled with several tiny houseplants can be a single decorative piece – or why not repeat them to get a jungle feeling? Use pots in different heights to create an artfully arranged oasis or use the same style of plants to get a simple, bold impression.

Liven things up in a big way

High plants in large pots are a beautiful way to bring the outside in. A tall plant by your dining table gives you the cozy green atmosphere over your head without blocking the view of the person you’re having a conversation with. A self-watering plant pot keeps your tree happy even if you forget to water it.

Glam up your window sill

As long as a room has a window, it can have a houseplant! Use plant stands as an extension of the window sill to make the space more lush. By grouping plants like this, you get a big green romantic feel. A few accessories make it easy to care for your sprouts, while you get a piece of nature’s peace.

Use your plant pot for other things than plants

If your green plant didn’t go as planned, you can still keep the beautiful pot and repurpose it somewhere else in your home. In your hallway, try a large size to hold umbrellas, totes, and other outdoor gear. This one in natural bamboo has an inner saucer to collect excess water.
