In addition to the windowsill: 6 places where you can place indoor plants | ivd.ru

An empty corner, open shelves, a doorway and a few other alternative ideas for placing indoor plants in the interior.

In the video, they listed the places where indoor plants will look good

1 On the coffee table

Compact plants look great on a coffee table as a decoration. You can put any flower there that tolerates the lack of bright lighting well. It is better not to take too large plants, as they will look bulky. You can complement a planter with a small flower with other decorative elements: candles, photo frames, a vase.

2 On the wall

A plant on the wall will be an excellent alternative to a poster or a painting. In the pots, you can plant both ordinary straight-growing varieties, and creepers or creepers, which will hang down beautifully, covering part of the wall. Small plants collected in groups will look harmoniously. They can complement existing decorations or be used as the main decorative element. Do not hang the pot too high: so the flower will not be visible at all, and caring for it will become more difficult. Do not forget that with such placement in the pots there should not be a drainage hole, otherwise when watering all the water will be on the wall and furniture.

3 On the dresser

A great option for placing plants somewhere else, except for the window sill, chest of drawers or bedside table. So you can decorate the bedroom, living room or even the hallway. Choose not too large varieties, medium or small in this case will look better. Flowering plants will add brightness to the interior. Another option to add accents is to choose a stylish planter. It can be of an unusual shape, a bright shade, or of a textured material (for example, metal or gypsum). Plants in a pot on the dresser can be combined with bouquets in a vase to achieve greater effect.

4 In the doorway

If you have a wide doorway, you can put a large outdoor plant like monstera or hovea there. But keep in mind that this technique only works with large openings or wide arches, where there is additional space for comfortable movement. With the help of a large flower, you visually zone the space and separate the room from other rooms to which the passage leads.

5 On an open shelf

A universal way to green the apartment, if the windowsill is already forced, use the free space on open shelves. It can be a shelving or suspended structures, for example, in the work area. Put small sprawling or curly varieties there. Large flowers on the shelves look bulky, besides they may not have enough space for comfortable growth. Choose plants that do not require bright lighting, as the sun's rays rarely reach the shelving in the middle of the room. For such places, the most unpretentious species like sansevieria, cactus or chlorophytum are best suited.

6 In an empty corner

If you have an unused corner in your kitchen or living room that has nothing to decorate beautifully, take plants into service. Large outdoor planters with indoor palm trees and other tropical species are ideal for such places. You can consider an adult dracaena, some varieties of ficus or a large sansevieria for this role. It is important that the flower is the right size and does not look too small on a large area.
