Biophilic living room

Indoor plants have a positive effect on our well-being. Some varieties are even known for their air-purifying abilities. Aloe vera, English ivy, snake plant, and spider plant are some of the commonly used houseplants for this specific purpose. Display your potted plants on shelves and in hanging planters to add a touch of green to your home. Climbing plants are ideal for indoor use, as they will help you set a natural mood.

If you don’t have enough space to set up an indoor garden, you can use even the tiniest balcony. Use the available vertical space and introduce planter ladders to fit as many green plants as possible. Plus, you can plant your own mini herb garden so you’ll always have fresh ingredients for preparing delicious meals.

Enhance the natural light

If you have a green thumb, then you’ll want to maximize the available sunlight for your precious plants to thrive. You can enhance the natural light with a few simple steps. First, make sure any large furniture pieces are away from the windows so they won’t obstruct light. Opt for sheer curtains to let the sun’s rays reach your plants.
