Why design your space with artificial plants?
Today’s high-quality artificial plants look just like the real thing. They also keep their new look for years, making them very cost-effective. Instead of buying real plants every time you’re in a whim or want a new look, you can keep a small number of artificial plants and rotate them according to the season or mood.
Another reason to choose artificial plants is safety. Some real plants have a smell or fruit that can be harmful if ingested by pets or inhaled by babies. For humans, allergies can sometimes be a problem, too. Artificial plants keep everyone safe.
In addition, artificial plant decorations can survive in any climate. For example, if you live in a cloudy area but crave a tropical feel, you might think that high-sun plants from the tropics are out of reach for you. However, artificial tropical plants don’t need sunlight or warmth to thrive, so you can add a splash of color to gray days without worrying about it.
These are just some of the benefits of designing with artificial plants in your home. Now let’s take a look at some of the ways you can use artificial plants to beautify your space.
