Tuesday tips – Green plants

3/05/2013

This is something we haven’t seen for a while, but I think we’ll see more and more green plants in interior in the near future. I’ve kind of been hiding my plants when taking photos, but now I’ll include them. I’ve got a nice big one in my kitchen

To be honest, the rooms I’m going to show you simply wouldn’t look the same without the green plants, they look so fresh! Here’s my office again with open windows as it’s getting warmer. As you can see, my green plant is getting a bit of sunshine. 

A lot of the well known stylists now include green plants when they style. Imagine these rooms without the plants. A plant or two can really freshen things up.

Nina from Stylizimo has demonstrated how much an effect a couple of green leaves can have.  She’s actually cut a couple of branches from a green plant and put them in a vase with some water. Nice idea.

You could of course also go out and see what nature has to offer? I can’t with for the leaves to come out. SPRING we need you now, so we can decorate our homes with you.

I even found an old news paper article from The Times about how to use green plants in decor. The article is from 1970, so yet again old trends become new. At least our photos and styling has improved. 
Do you have many plants in your home?
If you have plants you would like to show us please link below.

    Everything looks so sophisticated and little accents of green looks so great. I have some cactuses though, but they are able to survive even if I forget to water them. 🙂 Have a wonderful day, Hege and thank you for leaving such a lovely comment in my blog. ^^ 🙂

  8. I really like seeing plants in photographs. They bring the room to life and add some color.

  13. I definitely agree with you that plants help make the place look more welcoming somehow. I love it! All home owners should definitely have some potted plants at their homes.
