Plant StyleIt’s not only fashion and home décor gracing the pages of lifestyle magazines these days. Tropicals, cacti and succulents of all kinds are taking over.It’s because foliage... is fabulous!

Houseplants not only add colour and texture to a room, but like artwork and furniture, are very versatile pieces of décor.

Whether displayed alone or combined with décor on tabletops and mantles, even in the bathroom, houseplants add texture, fresh colour and above all else, actually clean the air we breathe. Here are three ways to style with houseplants:

Make a Statement - One large, well-developed plant will add height and drama to a room. Choose bold and beautiful specimens like split leaf philodendron, fiddle leaf figs or palms.

Fill it In - Clusters of plants work especially well on side tables, coffee tables and corners where nothing else fits. Group a combination of contrasting foliage then add one or two accessories for maximum effect.

Winter Hours - January through March, 2018• Mon to Wed 10am - 6pm • Thurs and Fri 10am - 9pm • Weekends 10am - 5pm

Table Centerpiece - Flowers are lovely, but a planted centerpiece is incredibly long lasting. Set potted foliage combinations on coffee or dining room tables as living, breathing decor.

Look Up! - The cascading foliage of pothos, boston fern and staghorn ferns are the most popular choices for hanging. However, decorative macramé hangers (yes, they’re back!) can be used to transform any tropical into the perfect accent for a cozy corner or living chandelier.
