7 tips to change your home with artificial plants
Artificial plants are one of the greatest trends in interior design, especially
because they adapt to any style. Know 7 tips to use at your house.
Let's be honest: these days it’s rare to see a house (or a room in it) without a natural element. We aren’t necessarily talking about real plants or flowers since the artificial look just like the real ones and don’t require as much maintenance.
By this, we mean that, even if you opt for artificial plants, the natural look remains. It’s indisputable: it’s much more advantageous to have artificial plants or flowers at home than real ones because, apart from these not requiring maintenance, they have more durability (and can even be changed at any time). Needless to say, artificial plants and flowers are cheaper than natural ones (especially if we take into account their lifetime).
If you’re a fan of this trend, get to know 7 tips on how to decorate your home with artificial plants.
Believe us: any corner of the house will be ideal for placing artificial plants
because, in this case, you don't have to worry about a fundamental element, the
light whether or not its luminosity is focusing on the plants/flowers.
The options are immense and you can place the artificial plants in some corners of each room, just as you can do it on tables or furniture. But the options don't end here, because you can also put these plants in the kitchen, bathroom or bedroom. So nature is always present wherever it is
2. Use vases
Although there is sometimes some resistance to the use of vases indoors, this
doesn’t have to be one of those situations even because you don’t have to worry
about the maintenance of the soil or the fact that it can fall to the ground. The
advantage of using artificial plants is precisely that...
And you can also forget the idea that vases are all the same because nowadays
there is no shortage of modern and original vases (and jars) that, apart from
everything else, work as a unique piece of decoration.
3. Keep the plants "alive"
Although artificial plants don’t need to be watered like natural ones, it’s still important to keep them "alive" it’s this small maintenance that will contribute to a radical change in the decoration of your home.
As in any other enclosed space, it's normal for some dust to accumulate in a
house. It’s this dust which, when scattered in the air, ends up falling on the
artificial plants you have, which damages their characteristic sparkle.
For this reason, you must clean the artificial plants or flowers that you have at
home with some frequency. You can do it with just a cloth or add a little water
and soap to improve the cleaning routine.
4. Keep the colors in mind
Before buying the artificial plants that will transform the decoration of your home,
pay attention to the type of decoration that already uses essential predominant
colors.
You mustn’t choose, for example, flowers of very strong colors which, instead of complementing the existing decoration, end up ruining it completely. Always seek harmony possible in what is your innermost space.
5. Do not exaggerate
You can keep putting plants and flowers all over the house, but avoid
exaggeration. Don't mix plants of different types and colors because we’re sure
you won't be able to transform the decoration of your home as you wish.
Prefer the most strategic places of the house and remember never to compromise the harmony of the decoration as a whole.
6. Study the best places
We can’t deny it: there are better places than others to put your artificial plants and thus give a natural touch to home decoration. The best places for this are, therefore, side (or corner) tables, sideboards, shelves, and even center tables. Of course, this doesn’t prevent you from putting the plants/flowers on the ground.
7. Plants as accessories
Choose well the materials of the vases and jars where you’ll put the artificial
plants, as this will also affect the success of the final decoration. There’s a lot os
offer these days, we know that, but that doesn't mean you shouldn’t have any
criteria in your choices.
It’s never too much to tell you to pay attention to the colors you already have in
each space, as this will help you with your decision. There are vases/jars made
of more robust materials like clay, for example, but there are also those made of
glass or crystal. Everything will depend on the decoration you already have at
home.
As you can see, it’s easy to transform the decoration of your home with artificial
plants, which, besides complementing the already existing environment,
embellishes (almost) naturally any space they are in.
