Plants do more than just purify the air—they bring warmth, texture, and a touch of nature into your living space. Whether you're working with a cosy flat or a spacious home, there's a way to style greenery in every room that complements your decor and lifts your mood.
At Plant Paradise by Gemma, we help customers transform their homes into leafy sanctuaries with a bit of creativity and the right plant in the right place. Here’s how to do the same room by room!
🌿 Living Room: Create a Focal Point
Your living room is the perfect place to go bold with greenery. Large plants like a Fiddle Leaf Fig, Monstera, or Kentia Palm work beautifully in corners or beside furniture. Pair them with a stylish pot to make a real statement.
For shelves, opt for trailing plants like Pothos or String of Pearls to add soft movement and height variation. Group plants in threes of varying sizes for that interior-design-magazine look.
Gemma’s Tip: Layer plants like you would cushions—different heights, textures, and tones create a lush, lived-in feel.
🛏️ Bedroom: Keep it Calm and Airy
Bring a peaceful vibe into your bedroom with soft, breathable greenery. Plants like Peace Lilies, Snake Plants, and Lavender are perfect for creating a calm sleep environment.
Place a small plant on your bedside table, or hang a trailing plant from the ceiling near a window for a dreamy effect.
Bonus: Some plants, like Snake Plants, release oxygen at night—ideal for a restful sleep.
🍽️ Kitchen: Add Life to Your Cooking Space
The kitchen is a great place for smaller plants and herbs. Basil, Mint, and Rosemary not only look lovely but are useful too. Pop them in matching pots on your windowsill or in a vertical wall planter.
If you’re short on space, use magnetic pots on the fridge or hang trailing plants like String of Hearts on cabinet handles or shelves.
Personal help tip: Don’t place plants too close to the hob or oven—they don’t like sudden temperature changes or steam.
🚿 Bathroom: Embrace the Humidity
Many plants love steamy, low-light conditions—perfect for the bathroom. Think Ferns, Calatheas, Aloe Vera, or Spider Plants.
Use windowsills, plant stands, or even hanging macramé holders to add a jungle feel without cluttering surfaces.
Plant Paradise by Gemma can help match you with humidity-loving plants that will thrive in this space.
🧑💻 Home Office: Boost Your Focus
Plants in your workspace can reduce stress and boost productivity. Choose plants like ZZ plants, Succulents, or Chinese Evergreens—low-maintenance and happy in most light levels.
Place a small plant on your desk, a taller one beside it, or try a wall-mounted planter to save space.
Gemma’s Tip: Stick to 1–2 plants to keep the space clean and uncluttered.
