3 Ways to Bring Greenery Into Your Home
Elevating your mood, health and home.
Whether your home is blessed with masses of outdoor space, or if small-space living better describes your setup, bringing some greenery indoors is a surefire way to invigorate your home. In this guide, we share our top tips to effortlessly incorporate this vibrant shade into your current home scheme.
Botanical Boost
It may seem obvious, but the importance of foliage for a home refresh shouldn't be underestimated. Not only does the presence of plants breathe life into a space, they have also been shown to boost productivity and improve air quality. Succulents are a failsafe for the less-than green-fingered amongst us — but if simply looking lush isn’t enough, herbs are also generally undemanding and have the added benefit of pepping up mealtimes. If the idea of plant care of any kind inspires eye rolling, then faux may be the way to go. Artificial plants can be utterly convincing and won’t wither away when feeling parched.
If plants are a no-no in your home, accent pieces and decor from sage to forest green will boost vitality without the upkeep. Textiles such as bed linen and [cushion covers) are purse-friendly picks that can be swapped out as the mood strikes, while ceramics and glassware are an equally easy way to introduce this hot hue. Paired with natural woods and Scandinavian silhouettes, muted grey-greens will keep your space feeling calm and fresh. Deeper, emerald tones lend themselves to moody spaces, evoking a true vintage feel.
Feeling crafty? There are a myriad of projects suitable for even the most amateur of DIYers that can update your home in a flash and infuse with vital greenery. Peel and stick wallpaper is a miracle material for oh-so simple crafts. Opt for a design featuring delicate botanical prints or pretty palms and use it to wrap blank canvases for an affordable gallery wall. Employ the same method to cover old novels and lend your bookcases an extra smattering of colour. Not ready for full-on green walls? Dabble in painting smaller spaces like the bathroom or kitchen, or opt for just the lower half of a wall for a more low-key look.
Whether you’re ready for total green transformation or just dipping your toe in — there are countless ways to bring the outdoors in and celebrate this vitalising shade.
