20 Rooms Made Better with Plants
Healthy plants stimulate a space, both figuratively and literally. They make a room feel happy and they purify the air. So scatter these live beauties everywhere. We won't judge you if you play classical music to them. They're such hardworkers — they deserve it.

This idea is the opposite of the wild jungle tablescape you just looked at, but it's equally as powerful. Minimal spaces come to life with strategically placed greenery. We especially like seeing natural wood in a room with plants. They go together like peanut butter and jam.Bedrooms20 Rooms Made Better with PlantsLoft Love

This sculptural bathtub costs as much as a downpayment on a condo, but we bet guests coming over will remark on the amazing wall behind it. So lush and green. Such a statement! <p> P.S. The best plants to have in the bathroom are Boston Ferns, Philodendrons, Cast Iron Plants, Spider Plants, Orchids, Bamboos, Pothos, Peace Lily and ZZ Plants because they can withstand low light and high humidity levels. </p>Bedrooms20 Rooms Made Better with PlantsA Tufted, Living Wall
