Bringing Nature Indoors:
Optimal Locations for Interior Plants in Your Home

Adding interior plants to your home can bring life, color, and freshness to your living space. When deciding where to place your indoor plants, consider the following optimal locations:

​

Living Room:

The living room is often the central gathering space in a home, making it an ideal location for showcasing indoor plants. Place larger, statement plants such as fiddle leaf figs, snake plants, or palm trees in corners or near windows to add visual interest and create a focal point.

 

Dining Area:

Enhance the ambiance of your dining area by placing a small table or hanging plant in the center of the table as a centerpiece. Alternatively, place potted herbs or small plants on a windowsill or shelf near the dining area to create a fresh and inviting atmosphere.

 

Kitchen:

The kitchen is an excellent place to incorporate indoor plants, as they can thrive in the warm, humid environment often found in this space. Consider placing herbs such as basil, rosemary, or mint on a sunny windowsill or countertop where they can receive plenty of natural light and be easily accessed for cooking.

 

Bedroom:

Incorporating indoor plants into your bedroom can help promote relaxation and improve air quality. Place smaller, low-maintenance plants such as peace lilies, spider plants, or pothos on bedside tables, dressers, or shelves to add a touch of greenery to your sleeping space.

 

​Bathroom:

Many indoor plants thrive in the high humidity and low light conditions typically found in bathrooms. Consider placing moisture-loving plants such as ferns, orchids, or aloe vera on a windowsill, countertop, or hanging from the ceiling to add a spa-like ambiance to your bathroom.

 

Entryway:

Make a welcoming first impression by placing indoor plants in your entryway or foyer. Consider using tall, statement plants such as palms or rubber trees to create a sense of height and drama, or opt for smaller, cascading plants such as ivy or philodendron to add a touch of greenery to a console table or entryway shelf.

 

Home Office:

Incorporating indoor plants into your home office can help improve productivity, reduce stress, and purify the air. Place small desk plants such as succulents, cacti, or air plants on your workspace or bookshelf, or hang a trailing plant such as pothos or string of pearls from the ceiling to add a pop of greenery to your work area.

​

Ultimately, the best places to put interior plants in your home will depend on factors such as natural light, humidity levels, available space, and personal preference. Experiment with different locations and types of plants to find the perfect combination that enhances the beauty and livability of your living space.
