Display your fake plants in baskets like Nora or in large colourful pots to add extra colour and texture to your space.

From potted plants and succulents to gorgeous fresh bouquets of florals and foliage, a touch of greenery will make your space look and feel fresh from the moment you walk in the door.

Here are our favourite ways to decorate with gorgeous hints of greenery:

 

Get cooking

Growing your herbs indoors is the perfect way to green up your kitchen and dining area. Not only does it look great, but it's practical as you can use the herbs when cooking too.

For an extra hint of green, our Ambrosia range looks amazing all year round. Featuring a leafy botanical design in shades of green and white and is available in a variety of stunning products.

STYLE TIP: Use sprigs of herbs such as rosemary for a rustic table setting. This little detail will leave the table looking & smelling fresh!

 

Create a tropical paradise

Who doesn't love an indoor plant?!

However, the real trick is picking greenery that you might spot on your favourite tropical get-a-way to feel like you're on vacation all year round. Our top picks are ​cacti, palms and birds of paradise.

 

Fake it 'til you make it

Don't have a green thumb? No worries! Faux plants and everlasting dried bunches like eucalyptus are also perfect for bringing lovely leafage into your abode.

While they may not fool a full-time plant mum up close, many available are lifelike enough to add a little life and dimension to your space. ​

STYLE TIP: Display your fake plants in baskets like Nora or in large colourful pots to add extra colour and texture to your space.

 

DIY bouquet

Making bouquets out of homegrown florals and foliage is a cost-effective way to add some life to your home. Try combining five different flowers with two kinds of contrasting foliage for a bouquet that will leave your guests asking where you bought them! For the ultimate wow factor, display your bouquet in a stunning vase, such as our Solaire, Indiana, Dhalia or Marbella.

 

Get framed

Add prints and art pieces to your walls to fill an otherwise empty space. Nature photos featuring landscapes or plants will suit almost any home and will add a little vibrance to your walls.

STYLE TIP: Choose a print or photograph that includes colours already found in your existing home décor. This will create a seamless design that looks like it was styled by a professional!

 

Take a #shelfie

Add a pop of greenery to your wall with a well-placed floating shelf. Show off your favourite coffee table books, family photos and your prized succulents.

 

Foliage inspired décor

To boost the feel-good green feeling, add a splash of botanically inspired décor to your bedroom with Greenwood, Flinders or Marlow. A quilt cover set decked out in a leaf pattern is going to give you literal garden vibes no matter whether there's rain, hail or shine outside!
