Hip Houseplants

Elle Decor teaches that potted plants can freshen the look of any room. But if living plants aren't your thing, I.O. METRO carries beautiful silk and preserved trees that provide the same look.

"Paint, check. Art, check. Furniture, check. Plants? Whether your thumb is green or not, a great houseplant does round out a room. And I’m not talking about a couple of pots of African violets (too small and fussy) or a ficus tree (too much shedding). Gravitate to varieties that can act as green sculptures, adding shape as well as liveliness to an interior—a bigger specimen is always better than waiting for a smaller one to grow to optimum size" (Mitchell Owen).
