The classic way to decorate our home with plants is to arrange them somewhere individually or in groups and create a small green area. But it would be much more interesting if you created individual and modern arrangements. Most of these are ornamental all year round, while others only bloom in a specific season, such as the cyclamen and the poinsettia. Interesting decoration can also be created using bromeliads and epiphytes. And grown from plants in a nutrient solution or hydroponics. Some perennial flowers planted in pots, such as tulips, hyacinths, chrysanthemums, gerberas are also very suitable because they will add color and freshness to the interior. A quick and effective decoration idea is to arrange temporary floral arrangements made from cut flowers. These 37 houseplant decoration ideas will show you how you can creatively beautify your home with plants.
How to arrange plants
If you want to use single plants, then it is better to choose those with an interesting silhouette. The plants can be arranged in a composition of three or five. If the arrangement contains more than five plants, it is recommended to hide the pots and containers. Arranging the same plants in the same containers in a straight line is very impressive, especiallyin modern apartments.
Color and texture in the living space
If you are decorating with a larger group of plants, then it would be better to hide the pots with specially selected or purpose-designed decorative panels. The plant pots can also be made of concrete, natural stone or brick and integrated into the room in a decorative way.
Cut flowers on the table
The green walls and room dividers made of plants are very trendy. This is very popular for modern houses and apartments where the floor plan is usually open. Flowers floating in water are always beautiful. They are suitable for decorating the interiors for a festive event or when we need to quickly think of something spectacular.
You can also place plants in the bathroom to create a cozy atmosphere. It's best to find out which plants like the high humidity. A popular flower for this room is the orchid. The best places for plants in the bathroom are a cupboard, side table or the bathtub.
Plants in the living area
Most bromeliad plants are epiphytes that grow on branches of trees and rocks in their natural habitat by attaching themselves to them with special roots. Epiphytes get moisture and nutrients directly from the atmosphere through their leaves. Most bromeliads are beautiful, spectacular plants with bright showy colors. Since they require little or no soil, they are very suitable for unusual arrangements. For example, they can be hung from the ceiling or on a wall using hooks. Another interesting option is to be attached to a branch or tree that resembles their natural environment.
Build special containers
Modern methods of growing plants in hydroponics or nutrient solutions offer many possibilities for creative houseplant decoration. In a hydroculture there are enough nutrients, carbon dioxide from the air and water and salts dissolved in them. In this technology, the plants are planted in a substrate, such as sand or granular plastic, and then the nutrient solutions are added. The plants grown in a nutrient solution are much lighter and can also be hung somewhere. They are also planted in transparent containers so that their root system is visible.

Plant selection
When choosing plants for the interior, it is important to remember that the room temperature should not fall below 12 to 15 degrees. In addition to low temperatures, plants cannot tolerate large temperature fluctuations. Do not leave plants on window sills or above a radiator. Most plants prefer well-lit places without direct sunlight. The flowering plants and those with colorful leaves need more light. In addition, the effect of a houseplant arrangement can be improved by appropriate lighting. For kitchens and bathrooms, where temperatures and humidity are highly variable, you need to select plants that tolerate these conditions.
Cutout in the floor
Choosing a bucket
Depending on your individual preferences, you can choose either modern containers made of metal and plastic or rustic ceramic pots. The plant granules make glass vessels possible.
Care
Except for watering and changing the nutrient solution, hydroponic plants do not need any special care. You just have to be careful not to exceed the recommended concentration of the solution. Watering of plants planted in soil should be determined in proportion to the temperature in the room. If it is cold - water less, if warm - more often. The dry surface of the earth is not a criterion that the plant needs watering. So you need to dig to a depth of 5-7 cm in the pot and check the current soil moisture before watering the plant.
Once you have chosen the best plants for your apartment, you should now show them off to their best advantage. That's why we've collected many wonderful ideas in the photo series that you can use as inspiration.
Room divider beautifies
Many modern interiors are designed with an open living concept and include more than one area. That's why room dividers are often used to visually divide these large living spaces. If you would like to make a beautiful houseplant decoration for such a room yourself, then you can plant the room divider and create a beautiful vertical garden in the interior. This allows the room to be refreshed in a natural way and the room divider immediately becomes an eye-catcher.
Mediterranean feeling through trees in pots
A beautiful tree not only thrives in the garden, but also in a suitable pot. With the right care, you can enhance your living space with an elegant tree and at the same time create a Mediterranean flair. However, not every tree thrives so well in a pot. Container plants are best suited for this. You can create a beautiful houseplant decoration with trees, for example, with Japanese maple, box, corkscrew hazel or willow. It is important to choose a suitable pot and to water the tree regularly, fertilize it and, if necessary, repot it.
Plants in modern interior
Even a modernly furnished apartment can benefit from fresh houseplant decorations. With a little green in the interior, you feel a little closer to nature and remember endless meadows and green forests. When it comes to modern interior design, natural decorative elements should not be neglected at all, as they freshen up the interior and create a feel-good atmosphere. Green plants can be used to create beautiful color accents, especially in monochrome furnishings.
Decorative grasses add interesting texture
Artificial ornamental grasses are evergreen, stay fresh forever and require no care at all. This can still be used to create successful accents and create a beautiful houseplant decoration. The decorative grass is perfect for pots, vases and even interesting indoor raised beds. Visually, artificial grasses are difficult to distinguish from real plants and therefore achieve an equally good effect.
Symmetrical arrangement on the shelf
Small plant pots do not require as much care as large ones and are therefore preferred by many working women. A few planted pots on the wall shelf can also freshen up the atmosphere if they are well arranged. A symmetrical arrangement always looks beautiful and works best with plants of the same size.
Plants in different areas
There is no correct variety or number when choosing plants. If you enjoy caring for plants, you can even create an entire indoor garden with containers and pots. Alternatively, you can place the pots in different areas of the apartment so that the greenery can be found throughout the interior.
Set accents in the room
Whether in the living area, bedroom or hallway, the houseplant decoration provides wonderful accents in the interior. Green plants and trees fit very well into a bright interior and immediately become beautiful eye-catchers. The green leaves can also be shown off well on wooden furniture because they harmonize with the natural look of the wood.
Green walls are trending
Green walls are currently very trendy and take houseplant decoration to the next level. This new type of vertical greenery is becoming more and more important and is becoming increasingly common in the interior design of designer apartments. A green wall can serve as a room divider as well as wall decoration and transform any room into a green oasis.
Vertical planting in the bathroom
If you would like to show off the houseplant decorations in the bathroom, then a vertical garden is perfect for both small and larger bathrooms. The plants in the bathroom invite you to linger and create a pleasant atmosphere. Vertical planting is particularly space-saving and therefore fits perfectly into even very small bathrooms. Especially in bathrooms with a bathtub, where people usually spend a little more time, the ambience can be positively influenced with a little green.
