Blur the lines between the inside and outside world and bring some exotic life into your living room space. Living room plants are the perfect way to incorporate the best part of the outdoors into your home. If you've recently redecorated or just fancy refreshing your interior, plants for the living room will make your space feel cosy and warm whilst adding stunning fresh colours to light up the room. Living room plants are great for welcoming guests into your home and can even clean and freshen the air around them.
Beautiful Living Room Plants
Gorgeous greenery with intricate leafy shapes and patterns is a must-have for adding texture and style to your home. As one of the main relaxation zones in the home, incorporating living room plants into your living space has shown to reduce stress and anxiety levels, providing a calming effect and a connection back to nature. Living room plants carry a variety of benefits - many purify the air of toxins and, through this, allow you to breathe easier, only enhancing your relaxation.
As well as benefitting your general wellbeing, let's be honest, they add a lot of style too. Invite statement pieces into your home with the areca palm and fiddle leaf fig tree, or if you're looking for more vibrance, then perhaps colourful beauties such as a pink orchid or flamingo flower (in a range of shades) will be the ones for you.
Plants that will Thrive in the Living Room
With a wide range of options, it can be challenging to know which plants are the best choice for your living room space. How is your natural lighting? How big is the room? Which plants are going to thrive? That's why we are here to help.
Before growing your plant family, let’s take a look at your current lighting situation. If you have an abundance of natural light streaming through your windows, the bird of paradise is excellent for introducing a generous amount of greenery and will thrive in its environment. Alternatively, if your space features a more cosy, intimate style where you have to create the lighting yourself, lamps or fairy lights are great for this, then the snake plant makes for the ideal living room guest. Or maybe you're just looking to add the finishing touches to your shelves, coffee table, or window sill? In that case, a calathea orbifolia with its beautifully painted stripes is a great recommendation.
