TRY INTERIORSCAPING THIS WINTER!
With so many people working from home now, we’re all familiar with the typical backdrops of plain walls, office spaces, and dining rooms. Many companies are realizing the benefits of working from home, which means that you get more time in your space!
The chilly season is upon us, and having plants in your home is not only great for mental health but can be used to interiorscape!
What is Interiorscaping?
It’s like landscaping, but indoors! Your plants significantly impact your space and interior design when you intentionally integrate them into the decor. This trend isn’t going anywhere; many people spend a lot more time at home than we used to and who doesn’t love having happy plants around?
Whether you use your plants as a full feature backdrop for video calls or as an accent to brighten each room, interiorscaping is sure to make you love your plants even more.
Health Benefits of Houseplants
Houseplants have a lot to offer besides aesthetics. They contribute to mental health significantly by helping with focus and serenity. The winter season is a harbinger of seasonal depression, and we must combat that with the vibrancy of summertime by bringing plants indoors and placing them through the home with intention. Interiorscaping and adding plant care to your weekly routine is a great way to meditate as well!
Keep in mind that building up a massive indoor plant collection can take a while. Even one or two plants will still benefit you during the winter, you can interiorscape by placing your one plant just perfectly on your desk. Voila! You’ve done it right.
How to Organize Your Plants
Whether your plant collection is two or twenty, you can use these ideas to place your plants intentionally and add health and aesthetic benefits to your home.
Garden Rooms
There is something magical about a garden room; bright sunlight with plants trailing across shelves, vines inching their way around the room, supported by hooks on the wall.
Connecting to nature is important, and interiorscaping a garden room is one way that you can stay connected to summer all year long.
What if you only have a one-bedroom apartment? The square footage of your home does not limit interiorscaping. A garden “room” can be a corner of your home, such as the office.
Choose a potentially underestimated space, such as the bathroom, which is excellent for tropicals that need lots of humidity! A garden room doesn’t have to include only your plants and nothing else; it is any space you’ve intentionally interiorscaped in!
Video Call Backdrops
Interiorscaping a backdrop for video calls not only adds visual interest to your interactions but is also great to start conversations. Here are our ideas for using your plants to interiorscape a backdrop:
Have an empty shelf/space behind you? Add a plant!
Add hanging plants! It is the perfect opportunity for your macrame collection to shine!
Set up a tall shelf where all your plants can sit, creating a wall of greenery!
If you have some plants chilling on the floor, get some plant stands to raise your plants into camera view.
Accents and Intentions
If you want something minimal and subtle in your space, consider interiorscaping with accent plants strategically placed for cohesion. If you have two succulents, place one on the bookshelf and one on the coffee table. Use vine plants to fill tall, empty spaces. Place plants with manifestation properties in your space, like a Chinese money plant on your office desk. Fill a dull corner with an attention-grabbing Monstera. Sometimes the smaller touches can make the most impactful interiorscaping.
