5 different ways to display your indoor plants

Nothing makes a home look quite as lived in as indoor plants. Whether you fancy yourself a style maven or simply enjoy growing your indoor garden, plants really do turn a house into a life-filled home. However, as with anything, looking at the same assorted of plants and flowers can sometimes get a little boring. If your indoor garden is ready for a spruce-up, then we have some excellent display suggestions for you. Give your foliage a fresh new look – without having to shop for new plants.

#1 The vertical garden

If your home is short on available floor space, the only place you have to go is up. That’s where vertical gardens come in. Turn a blank wall into a riot of colour and foliage by fixing your garden to the wall.

#2 Window dressing

Make your indoor garden practical by planting a few edible herbs into small pots and hanging them from curtain rails over a sunny window in your kitchen. Herbs within reach and some additional greenery means your kitchen will be both fully stocked with herbs and fragranced.

#3 Hanging around

Hang cascading plants from the ceiling to achieve a lush jungle vibe in any room.

#4 Propagate with water

Make your plants a striking style statement by propagating them in water-filled glass vessels. Arrange on tables and shelves.

#5 Plant stand

Spice up your life with an artsy plant stand that demands attention.
