We put a lot of thought into how we decorate our homes and often, we settle on a certain theme that is carried throughout our home. Asian, tropical, jungle, desert, and country themes are just some of the popular choices for interior design. While color and furnishings help to act as a foundation of a room’s theme, we too often forget to carry the same theme into the smaller details, such as home decor items and housewares. The inclusion of artificial plants into any interior space is a wonderful opportunity to help reinforce a theme. Here are some plants that may inspire you.
Palms
Artificial palm trees are a wonderful option for tropical and beach themes alike. This warm-weather loving tree comes in a variety of different styles, each of which features beautiful reaching fronds indicative of the South.
Cacti
You can’t drive through a desert landscape without falling in love with the hostile beauty of cacti. These aggressive plants are a perfect pairing for Native American decor choices, as the two often go hand-in-hand. In fact, there is a great amount of Native American artwork that features the image of a cactus.
Roses
Whether you have designed your home to be shabby chic or traditionally country, roses are an excellent choice, both as floral arrangements or as larger house plants. A real rose may fade quickly but artificial roses stay looking beautiful year after year.
Bonsai
Asian themed rooms would not be complete without a bonsai tree. Real bonsai trees require artful pruning that takes a great bit of practice to master. If you don’t have the time to invest in these high-maintenance trees, an artificial version is the perfect solution.
Ferns
Are you planning on designing a jungle-themed nursery for your little one. If so, what better way to make a huge statement than by hanging baskets overflowing with ferns and greenery from the ceilings? The more plants you have in a jungle-themed room, the more festive the room will feel.
If your room is lacking a plant or two, take the overall design of your home into consideration when deciding which plants to order.
