The combination of indoor plants in the interior
Today I want to share my own experience and important principles for choosing “green friends”.
Plants in the interior of the kitchen
Kitchen – one of the important rooms in the house, this is the place where a woman spends a lot of time, where the whole family gathers at the table. “Green pets” will help create a cozy atmosphere and improve appetite. When choosing kitchen vegetation, I would recommend that you consider the following aspects:
- Opt for unpretentious, heat-loving and drought-resistant plants.
- Grow edible and aromatic herbs, parsley, dill, and pepper, lemon or coffee trees in the kitchen.
- Any improvisation from cans to tureens in the decoupage style is suitable as flower pots..
- Place flowers away from the stove, there they will be too hot and from the sink, from there soap drops and food debris can fly;
- Grow flowers not only on the windowsill, but also in hanging pots, on wall shelves or on the refrigerator.

When choosing colors for the living room, I start from square meters. For large areas, I suggest you boldly start growing large outdoor plants in tubs.

Plants in the interior of the bedroom
Bedroom, as you know, a particularly intimate room. She is destined for sleep and rest. That is why the living plants located in it must correspond to everything. It cannot be overloaded with vegetation and turned into a greenhouse..
Plants in the interior of the bedroom
In the bedroom, it is permissible to arrange three or four, not very large, decorative deciduous or moderately flowering crops in beautiful flowerpots or pots. One or two plants will be appropriate to put on a curbstone or table, or hang from the ceiling.
Place plants anywhere in your bedroom
Plants in the bedroom should continue their image, saturate the room with oxygen, an atmosphere of relaxation and not be too provocative. I suggest you, when choosing plants for the bedroom, beat it with variegated ficuses, gentle spathiphyllums or beautifully blooming begonias and gardenias.

Flowers with a pronounced aroma are not suitable for the bedroom, for example, indoor jasmine, as well as plants that actively absorb oxygen or have negative energy.
Bathroom
The trend is to have live plants in the bathroom. The lack of windows should not be a hindrance to this venture. Thinking of setting up a green corner in your bathroom, but don’t know where to start? I advise you to choose medium-sized vegetation that is not demanding on lighting and is resistant to a humid and warm atmosphere. To help you:
- ferns;
- ficuses;
- cyclamen;
- Decembrist;
- hovea;
- violets;
- spathiphyllium;
- dieffenbachia;
- climbing varieties (ivy, philodendron, epipremnum).

If necessary, flowers in the bathroom can be created with artificial lighting or occasionally taken out on a sunny windowsill..
If you consider yourself a supporter of extraordinary solutions, then I recommend you start growing natural moss.. Moss is a great and sustainable alternative to tiles. It decorates the wall beautifully and feels great in a humid environment.

Combination of styles and vegetation
The interior depends on the character of the person. Currently, there are many trendy apartment design trends. Each of which must contain house plants. I will try to help you understand this issue..
ClassicalIt is based on the symmetry of forms. Living plants in such an interior must be large-leaved and luxuriantly blooming. They are located in the center and perimeter of the room. Suitable for creating the look of classicism: palm varieties, ficuses, spathiphyllium, hibiscus, oleander, cyclamens, begonias, gardenias and camellias.
Indoor plants in a classic interior
ModernIts peculiarity lies in the smoothness and roundness of the outlines. Climbing ivies and tradescantia, as well as hoya, cissus, philodendrons and orchids, will ideally fit into Art Nouveau..
Houseplants in Art Nouveau style
ProvenceThe motto of this style is maximum vegetation. Simple “rustic” plants and exquisite exotic ones suit him. Compositions of saintpaulia and pelargonium, terry geraniums, violets, homemade roses, begonias and hoya look organically in the Provence style. Leave room for sansevieria, ivy, ficus and philodendron. The image will be finished with ranunculus or eustoma grown from bulbs.
Maximum vegetation for a Provence style room
MinimalismThe name itself suggests that everything should be small. However, there was also a place for vegetation in it. An option for this style is dracaena and sandera. In addition, minimalism goes well with diphenbachia, crotons, zamioculcas. Anthurium and spathiphyllium or ficus will be a good company for them..
Accents on plants for a room in the style of minimalism
LoftThe favorite style of our time. It combines simplicity and space. Flowers and plants in this style should not be pretentious and pompous. These can be cascades of greenery falling from ceiling to floor, single large plants in tubs and fruit-bearing house trees..

Original use cases
Fashion is dictated by new trends and trends, including the cultivation of indoor plants. I want to draw your attention to three options for using vegetation in interior design are vertical gardening, home rock garden and florarium.
Vertical gardening
Unfortunately, the parameters of many apartments do not allow growing a large number of plants. It is gorgeous to green the room, you can absolutely not take up a lot of space in it. A composition of decorative deciduous and flowering plants on the wall can be compared to a living picture.
“Living picture” on your wall
It is customary to place vertical floristic compositions in corners and walls, as well as devote free walls to them. “Green panel” can decorate any apartment, even a small one-room apartment.

For its appearance at home, I can recommend the following plants:
- decorative varieties of red-leaved aglaonema;
- undersized varieties of spathiphyllium,
- variegated and green-leaved fatsia;
- varieties of medium-sized and dwarf ferns;
- all varieties of chlorophytums;
- the sansevier is undersized;
- hoya;
- calathea;
- coleus (decorative speck);
- ampelous plants.
An interesting solution for any apartment
Vertical gardening is not a cheap pleasure. In addition to financial investments, it requires regular, competent and painstaking care. I recommend it to be used only by experienced florists.

Florarium
For lovers of aesthetics, exoticism and minimalism, I can advise the cultivation of plants in the florarium. This activity is fashionable and very exciting. A lot of investment and time is not required for this, but visually it looks beautiful.
Aesthetics and minimalism in one bowl
The florarium is called a mini-garden behind glass.. As a basis for growing it, you can take a regular aquarium or other glass container. With its help, it is not difficult to give up growing exotic flowers in ordinary pots..
Mini garden behind glass
Group compositions of slow-growing plants are planted in a miniature flower garden. Among the most popular:
- ferns (mnogoryadnik, asplenium and pteris);
- sphagnum moss;
- ivy;
- small succulents;
- cacti;
- orchid;
- cyclamen;
- Saintpaulia.
Miniature slow growing houseplants
The creation of a florarium requires the right combination of plants, adherence to the general habitat and growing conditions..
Home rock garden
Not everyone can be the owner of a greenhouse or winter garden, but you really want to create a piece of wildlife and get in touch with beauty. If you like this idea, then I advise you to prepare a place for a home rock garden.
Home flowers framed by natural stone, with melodious murmur of water and decorative lighting are what you need. The rock garden will become a real highlight of the interior and your pride.
The highlight of the interior in your home
Its plus is that the design can be adjusted by replacing or rearranging plants. There are no clear recommendations for settling a home rock garden.. The main thing is to observe its geometric shapes and follow the principle from small to large.
Geometric lines when planting plants
I propose here to show maximum imagination and improvise with tropical, exotic and the most common, decorative deciduous and flowering representatives of the flora (the only exceptions are cacti). A canary cage or an aquarium will help revive the paradise.
Home rock garden is a complex and monumental structure. It will require serious work and financial investment. However, the fantastic result of creation justifies all the work and costs..
Huge work in creating a masterpiece
Indoor plants give us positive emotions and help to establish inner harmony of the soul. You can talk about house plants in the interior as endlessly as they are amazing and beautiful..
