These plants really add to the more is more look going on here. We’ve got art, books, decorative objects—and now, a jungle of houseplants just bringing it all to life. No surface is safe from the leafy takeover! The matching lamps on the console table add a bit of structure and formality, and those matching palms in front of the framed photo? Total power move. They’re echoing that formal vibe but in the coolest, most effortless way.

Decorating With Plants in the Bathroom

Oh, God, give me all the bathroom plants! They instantly crank up that spa-like feel. And there are so many cozy spots for them to thrive: vanity countertops, the shower, around the tub… if there’s a flat surface, there’s room for a plant. I love how Dabito slid that greenery under the wall sconce—it’s like that spot was made for that plant. And sometimes, less is more. That single philodendron stem in the white vase? It’s a whole sculptural masterpiece all on its own. 

Plants in Hallways

Got an awkward space and no clue what to do with it? Boom—plant to the rescue. Seriously, that tall dracaena at the end of the hallway is doing *all* the heavy lifting. Without it, the whole area would be bare, boring, and just sad. But now? Total statement piece. The hallway suddenly has main character energy, and your eyes can’t help but zero in on it. Plants are the MVPs of awkward corners.

Plants in Kitchens

Kitchens can sometimes feel too cold and sterile—like you’re prepping dinner in a fancy science lab. But throw some plants into the mix, and *boom*, instant life! Potted herbs? Total no-brainer. There’s nothing better than grabbing fresh basil while you’re mid-pasta stir. And let’s talk about those long, flowing hanging plants—they look *so* good in kitchens. The one above is layered to perfection, with that trailing pothos stealing the spotlight. Plus, windowsills? Prime real estate for your sun-loving succulents. They’re the easiest way to turn a boring blank spot into a little plant party.

Plants in Dining Rooms

Alright, it’s time to bring in the big boys (and girls). Dining rooms don’t need much—table, chairs, sideboard, boom, done. But those empty corners? Perfect for a statement plant. Enter the indoor tree. The dining room above has this calm, minimal vibe, and that tall Schefflera is stepping in with just the right amount of drama. It’s like, “I’m here to make a statement, but I’m also chill.” It fills the space while keeping things light and airy, nailing the ‘effortlessly cool’ look.

Plants in Bedrooms

Oh, you better believe plants belong in the bedroom, too. That hanging plant in the corner? It perfectly fills the space without hogging any of that precious floor real estate. And let’s be real, waking up to a cute little plant on your nightstand? Instant mood boost. It’s like starting your day with a tiny green cheerleader rooting for you. Who wouldn’t want that next to their bed?!

Hopefully, by now, these plant-filled spaces have *totally* convinced you that plants are the secret sauce for creating a cozy, warm, and inviting home. They bring life, color, and just the right amount of “I have my life together” vibes to every room. Plus, they’re the easiest way to keep your space feeling fresh and alive—without having to redecorate every season. So, yeah, plants? Absolute must.

The interior design mastermind behind this blog. I think weird is wonderful, animal print should be considered a neutral, and life’s too short to not have a home where every room, nook, and doodad gives you a little bump—a thrill—every time you look around. If you agree, we’ll get along perfectly.
