21 Ways To Decorate With Plants

Today, I am sharing 21 ways to decorate with plants! If you’re looking for a unique way to decorate your home without relying on store-bought knick-knacks, consider using plants.

The key is finding a type of plant that thrives in your home and brings you happiness.

I always look for plants that are easy to take care of and last a long time.

Here are 21 ways to style your favorite plants in your home:

Popular Indoor Plant Ideas:

• Pothos (Epipremnum aureum) – Low maintenance, great for low light, and easy to propagate.

• Snake Plant (Sansevieria) – Extremely hardy, tolerates low light, and purifies air.

• Monstera Deliciosa – Known for its dramatic split leaves and fast growth.

• ZZ Plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) – Drought-tolerant and great for beginners.

• Fiddle Leaf Fig (Ficus lyrata) – Stylish and bold, needs bright, indirect light.

• Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum) – Blooms indoors and thrives in low light and high humidity.

• Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum) – Great hanging plant that’s easy to grow.

• Rubber Plant (Ficus elastica) – Thick, glossy leaves; needs moderate light.

• Parlor Palm (Chamaedorea elegans) – Adds a tropical touch and does well in low light.

• Boston Fern (Nephrolepis exaltata) – Loves humidity and filtered light.

1 – A Plant Wall Display

Find or create a plant hanger that can display multiple plants. This works well because it groups them in a way that makes it look like one cohesive piece of art.

It looks less cluttered than if they weren’t all grouped together.

2 – One Large Tree or Plant In a Corner

Instead of adding yet another piece of furniture to the corner of your home, try a large plant.

This will bring color and life to a boring area.

4 – Plant Corner

If you don’t want to have a lot of plants throughout your whole house, you can put them all in one corner.

Pick a place that has great lighting, and this can become a fun focal point of your room.

A bonus is that it will be easier to water!

5 – Hanging Plants From a Stick

This is such a fun way to make art with plants! 

6 – A Large Plant in the Living Room

7 – A Money Tree In a Blank Corner

As soon as we brought this tree into our living room, we immediately loved how it looked. 

We were unsure what to put on the walls, so this plant brought some interest to this blank area.

8 – Add a Plant to a Bottom Shelf

Instead of adding the traditional baskets and blankets, try a plant!

9 – Plants On Your Entertainment Wall

Sometimes it can look funny to have a bunch of art hanging around a TV, so we decided to have shelves with plants.

The fun thing is, as we watch TV at night, we see the plants moving!

10 – Mix and Match Plants

11 – Plants On the Mantel and Hearth

12 – A Tall Plant Stands

Getting a plant stand is a great way to elevate your low plants so everyone can see them.

Find a wall hanger for plants and make your plant the main focus.

I really like how the hanging pothos plant goes all the way down this corner and meets up with the tall Fiddle Leaf plant.

16 – Fill a Dark Corner With a Snake Plant

17 – Hanging Plant with Wood Beads

18 – Hanging Plant as Wall Art

19 – Add Several Plants to a Blank Wall

20 – Propagate Plant Decoration

This is a great way to propagate plants you want more of as a wall decoration.

21 – Seasonal Plants as a Center Piece

Selecting a bright-colored plant with flowers is a great choice for a table centerpiece.

If the plant gets too big, you can always plant it in the yard!

The best way to choose plants for your home:

When choosing the best plants for indoors, consider your space’s natural light, temperature, and how much time you realistically have for plant care.

Start by identifying the light levels in different areas—some plants thrive in bright, direct sunlight (like succulents and fiddle leaf figs), while others prefer low-light conditions (like snake plants or pothos).

Think about humidity levels too; tropical plants like ferns or peace lilies love moisture, making them perfect for bathrooms or kitchens.

If you’re new to plant care, opt for low-maintenance varieties that are more forgiving, such as ZZ plants or spider plants. Matching the right plant to the right spot not only keeps your greenery healthy but also enhances your home’s natural vibe without the stress.
