Nothing spruces up interiors like indoor plants. Be the designer of your home with six tips to go green! 

Nature creates the best landscapes. The freshness of young foliage on trees in the monsoon is unparalleled. Here’s how you can create beautiful interiors incorporating indoor plants…

 

.

What can be better to greet a person than the fresh green of foliage? Opt for a vestibule brightly lit by daylight during the day and keep potted plants close to the window. The natural glow reflected by the plant will give that perfect look to your entrance.

 

.

Bring a dull or negative corner back to life with a plant. Opt for plants with large leaves and thin stalks that give the fanning out effect. These plants will keep the moisture levels in the house in check, while giving the corner an inviting look.

 

.

Instead of textured walls or panels, go for the green wall feature. Using indoor flowering creepers, create a framework in the wall for the tendrils to grip and create a naturally changing design as it grows dense. The furniture abutting this wall can be bright hues against nude wall colour for the perfect look.

.

Bring the outdoors inside! Use wide verandas to create a garden-like effect by introducing a profuse collection of potted plants and light outdoor furniture. See the view change through seasons and bring some dynamism into your home.

 

.

Select plants with a colourful inflorescence and hang them from the ceiling for a delightful ambience. Spray them with some water daily to create the effect of dewdrops and watch as the flowers bloom more robustly.
