Designer Abigail Ahern has some key tips for introducing greenery into the home during the winter months:
– “A single large statement piece such as fern plants, a banana tree or tall cacti will instantly elevate any space to new heights.”
– “More is more when it comes to indoor greenery. Not only do faux plants immediately spruce up a room, they are a fab way of creating your own indoor oasis – perfect for gardenless urbanites.”
– “Nothing ups texture like plants. Mix feathery fronds with glossy shining leaves, big fat succulent heads with trailing strings of pearls.”
– “Don’t overlook foliage. I use ferm fronds, succulent or branches a lot – they brighten even the smallest nook or shelf.”
Here are our 10 top ideas for putting this advice into practice:
1 Make mini terrariums
2 Install a beautiful living wall
3 Buy some modern hanging planters
4 Fake it with stylish faux flora
5 Bring your outdoor furniture inside
6 Add texture with trailing plants
7 Create a DIY trellis wall
8 Recreate an outdoor scene
9 Build a courtyard sanctuary
10 Accessorize existing objects with plants
