Putting the plants in your living room is more beautiful than just decorating it.
This is the best way to purify the air you breath in and also provide a calm and peaceful atmosphere in the room.
The right amount of plants can completely transform a living room and reveal how your space looks and feels.
That’s why today, in this article, I am going to show you 24 different ways to add plants in your living room that will change everything.
What plant is best for a living room?
If you want just one plant that can work best in the living room, then you can go with a Fiddle Leaf Fig.
It can instantly make your space look stylish even if the rest of the room is a mess.
Furthermore, it thrives in bright, indirect light and requires minimal attention. You have to remember not to overwater it.
So, if you have a decent window and want that “magazine home” look without going overboard, then this is the option.
Where should plants be placed in the living room?
You should put your plants where they will thrive and look good – don’t just tuck them in corners for the sake of it.
Start with near windows, especially east – or south-facing ones, because most plants need that natural light.
Coffee tables and shelves are ideal for smaller plants, such as succulents or pothos.
If you have an empty corner, consider adding a tall floor plant, such as a fiddle-leaf fig or snake plant.
You can also use hanging planters if you are short on space. And last but not least don’t forget the TV console or sideboard – those are easy wins for adding greenery without cluttering up the room.
