Studies have shown that spending time surrounded by greenery can reduce stress, increase productivity, and even boost our immune systems. And while gaining all the health benefits, there’s something undeniably magical about surrounding oneself with greenery. Let’s inspire you to decorate your home with plants – an easy way to add a touch of dreamy inspiration to everyday life.

Living, decorative spaces

When creating a tableau of plants, consider selecting species of different heights and with different textures in their leaf structures and flowers. The result will be a visually dynamic display that adds depth and dimension to your space.

A few tips to make a plant tableau that improves health and well-being

1
Consider the air-purifying properties of plants: Some plants, such as snake plants and spider plants, are known for their ability to purify the air and remove toxins. By incorporating these plants into your tableau, you can create a healthier living environment.

2
Choose plants with calming scents: lavender and jasmine are two examples of plants that have been shown to have a calming effect on the mind and body. By selecting plants with these scents, you can create a soothing and relaxing atmosphere in your home.

3
Mix and match textures and colours: As mentioned earlier, incorporating plants with different textures and colours can create a visually dynamic tableau. But it can also have a positive impact on your mood. Research has shown that exposure to a variety of colours and textures can have a positive effect on mental health and well-being.

4
Remember to plan out where each of your plant arrangements will go. Take into consideration the light and moisture requirements of the plants you intend to care for before deciding on the perfect place for the plant tableau.
