Plants can completely transform a room. Discover simple ways to combine plants, pots, colours and heights for a beautifully styled interior.
How to Style Plants and Pots in Your Interior
Houseplants are not just something you care for. They can become an important part of your interior design.
The right combination of plant shape, height and pot style can completely change the atmosphere of a room.
Mix different heights
Instead of placing every plant at the same level, create variation.
Combine a tall Strelitzia or Monstera with medium-sized plants and smaller Pileas or succulents.
Using shelves, side tables and plant stands creates more depth.
Match pots to your interior
For minimalist interiors, neutral pots such as Concrete Grey, Matte Black and Stoneware Taupe work beautifully.
For warmer interiors, consider Terracotta Classic, Fluted Sand or Rattan Basket planters.
A Glazed Green or Speckled Olive pot can add extra colour while still maintaining a natural feel.
Create groups of three
Grouping plants in uneven numbers often feels more natural.
Try combining:
- One tall plant
- One medium plant
- One compact plant
Choose pots with different textures but related colours to keep the group cohesive.
Use statement plants strategically
Large plants such as Strelitzia Nicolai, Monstera Deliciosa and Dypsis Lutescens work particularly well in empty corners.
Instead of filling the room with many small plants, one large statement plant can sometimes have much more visual impact.
Do not forget practicality
Beautiful styling should still allow you to care for your plants.
Make sure plants remain close enough to suitable light and that you can easily remove nursery pots when watering.
