Published on August 4, 2017
Plants and florals provide an organic element to a space, instantly livening it up. While fresh-cut flowers and towering indoor trees will always be in style, we’re sharing ideas to display greenery in new and fun ways. Find nine freshly-picked tips below.
Replace common rustic wooden planters with wall-mounted black boxes in the kitchen. Their sleek lines balance out the organic forms of the herbs. Should you tire of the plants, the wall boxes can be repurposed to hold bottles or jars.
Have some fun with your vases! A kitschy vase, like this deer one, brightens up the simplest of bouquets.
A singular branch or bloom shines in a globular glass vase, making it perfect for maintaining a minimalist aesthetic.
Place dried leaves on an angle in frames and layer them up to create an interesting nook of botanicals.
Make your bouquets and arrangements last longer with a DIY display of dried flowers. For a modern look, press blooms between glass in a simple frame. For a romantic look, hang sweet bundles of stemmed florals.
Get the plant pots off the window sill or kitchen table and bring the outdoors in with a pretty wall trellis.
Almost anything in your home can become a plant pot. Here, designer Jennifer Scott repurposed vintage tin and hung it from the bathroom ceiling for a fun design moment.
Bulbs have beautiful root systems, so show them off! Place spring bulbs in clear vessels — from water glasses to punch bowls — and let the magic unfold.
Elevate your indoor plants — we love fiddle leaf figs and olive trees — with a base layer of smaller blooms and moss.
