Houseplants have been used for decoration in homes for a long time, and for good reason. There are a lot of great advantages to having houseplants in your home for decoration, and not just because they help make the air cleaner! Instead, houseplants are also a great way to enhance the decor within the home as well. If you decorate your home with houseplants in a tasteful way, you will be able to accentuate and highlight the decor of your home, and also make the space seem very inviting. Here are some ways that houseplants can enhance your decor:
1.Emphasize or deemphasize lines: Depending on the way that your home is decorated, you may feel like there are a lot of lines (whether horizontal or vertical) in a certain room. This can be a good or a bad thing – depending on the type of effect that you want to create within the room itself. Houseplants can help to enhance the decor and lines of the room by either emphasizing the lines or deemphasizing the lines in the room – depending on what you need. For example, say that you have a very modern looking living room with some vertical lines in the picture frames, television, table, etc. If you want to further emphasize these lines, you should get a houseplant that has a vertical emphasis as well, such as a small bamboo plant or another plant that has a long vertical stem. Or, if you don’t want to emphasize the vertical lines any longer, you can pick a plant that has a more horizontal axis, so it will add some variety.
2.Emphasize or deemphasize colors: It is really popular to have color schemes in different rooms for your house’s decor, and you can use houseplants to your advantage to help enhance these colors. There are a couple of different ways that you can do this – you can either use houseplants that have complimentary colors with your decor, or you can find a houseplant that has the same color as your decor, to give the color more emphasis. For example, if you have a yellow room, you might be interested in looking into a purple plant, such as Wandering Jew, in the same room to make a neat accent color. Or, if you already have some purple in a room and want to make that color stronger, then add a plant like Wandering Jew. There are a lot of different houseplant colors available, so don’t feel like you are limited to only using green when working with houseplants.
3.Adds variety: Houseplants are also a really great way to enhance the decor of your home because they add a really great element of variety into the room. With houseplants, you will not be limiting yourself to having just inanimate, man-made objects in a room. Instead, you can add a spark of life into the room by adding a houseplant, which is a great way to add more variety and life into your decor.
There are a lot of ways that you can use houseplants to enhance your decor. However, make sure that you keep in mind the basic care needs of your plant as well – you will need your home to be a place where the plant will get the right amount of light, water, humidity, etc. Without these key elements for plant care, your plant will not last very long – despite how good it may look for a few days in your room. Make sure that you always take the basic care needs of your plant into consideration, and your plant will live a long and healthy life as it enhances the decoration in your home.
