House plants have become an essential part of interior design, bringing life, colour and fresh air into our homes. Whether you’re a seasoned plant parent or just beginning your journey into greenery, styling house plants can be both rewarding and transformative. In this blog, we’ll explore tips and tricks to styling house plants effectively, focusing on the perfect pots, desktop planters and floor planters to elevate your space.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT PLANT POTS
Plant pots are more than just functional containers; they’re design elements that can enhance the look of your plants and home. Opt for pots that complement your décor style, whether it’s sleek and modern, rustic and earthy, or eclectic and colourful. Consider materials like ceramic, terracotta, metal or woven baskets to add texture and depth to your display. Drainage is key for plant health, so ensure your pots have proper drainage holes, or use a liner to keep things tidy. Pair plants with pots in contrasting or harmonious colours to create a striking visual impact.

DESKTOP PLANTERS FOR SMALL SPACES
Desktop planters are perfect for adding a touch of greenery to your workspace or small nooks. Choose compact plants like succulents, cacti or small leafy varieties that thrive indoors, and position them in spots with adequate natural light to help them flourish. Stylish options include minimalist planters with clean lines, geometric designs or even quirky, plyful shapes. Arrange them in clusters of odd numbers for a balanced yet dynamic look.

FLOOR PLANTERS TO MAKE A STATEMENT
Floor planters are ideal for creating bold, eye-catching arrangements. Large plants like fiddle-leaf figs, monstera or snake plants work well as statement pieces in the home. Elevate your plants with stands made of metal, wood or rattan to give them height and prominence, whilst grouping multiple floor planters of varying heights and sizes can create a lush, layered effect. Be mindful of traffic flow and place your floor planters in areas where they’ll shine without causing obstruction.
