5 ideas for creating indoor gardens
Indoor gardens have become quite a trend in interior design. They let you enjoy the beauty of nature even if your home doesn’t have an open outdoor space. The key to getting it right is choosing the plants well and deciding how to arrange them and other accessories such as decorative gravel.
1. Indoor gardens in the stairwell
If your house has several levels, you probably don’t know what to do with the space under the stairs. It’s a space that always ends up empty and doesn’t seem useful for anything. Why not bring it to life a little?
Right in this area you can create a small indoor garden. The idea here is to install some large, eye-catching planters and place in them indoor plants that can reach different sizes. These will nicely fill the gaps of varying heights that remain as the staircase rises.
The Areca and the Monstera are good options; you can combine them with spider plant and some succulents of your choice.
2. A zen garden in the hallway
If your hallway is spacious and you want to bring it to life a little, you can create a zen-style garden in one of the wider spaces. Place a base of decorative gravel and, on top of it, install a fountain or some water feature (it can be a vessel). Arrange some bamboo poles around it. You can add the plant touch with one or two bonsais.
3. Indoor flower gardens
Even in places without much space you can create a beautiful garden. What we suggest in this case is that you get several pedestals of different sizes or shelves that you will place at different heights. Buy some matching pots and flowering plants of the same variety.
Place each pot with its plant on the different pedestals or shelves. You’ll see how a plain, boring corner becomes one of the most special places in your home. This is a good option for filling spaces where you’re not quite sure what to put.
As for the plants, you can choose from varieties such as orchids, peace lilies, or the Amazon lily.
4. An elevated garden
Do you like the previous option, but you have children or pets at home and fear they might knock the pots over? Then this indoor-garden option is for you, because what you’ll do here is hang the pots from the ceiling.
In addition to the classic macramé hangers, you can find other varieties on the market. For example, small structures made from wood and ropes.
5. A garden on a piece of furniture
If you have old furniture and you’re not quite sure what to do with it, you can use its surface and fill it with plants. A good alternative is the drawers of an old dresser . Combine the plants with decorative elements such as the pebbles and you will get a unique result.
Indoor gardens give your home a unique look, and you have already seen that you can place them in practically any space. With a good choice of plants, pots, and other decorative elements, you will enjoy nature in your home. Want to find the best materials for your garden? We are at your disposal.
