Our green friends bring aesthetic pleasure and comfort to everyday life. It is always pleasant to feel yourself in a paradise among beautiful flowering plants. The need for landscaping the home and interest in flowering plants arose among people in ancient times and has survived to this day
Agree, almost any apartment has several potted flowers. But did you pay attention to where they are located? Most often, the plants are on the windowsill or are pushed in disarray in the corners. It is not often possible to find a really cozy corner with correctly placed green households. But with the proper design of your home interior with flowers, you can turn your home into an eternally green garden with a pleasant aroma.

How often do we buy a flower we like in a fit of feelings and at the same time do not think whether it is suitable for our interior, how we will take care of it, and how it will affect the inhabitants of the apartment. But breeding green pets is not fun - it is an important activity that requires knowledge and skills acquired with experience.

The combination of indoor plants with the interior of the room
When choosing a houseplant for yourself, consider functional compatibility with interior items. Flowers, being part of the design, must visually change the overall impression of the room. Match the plants correctly with the surrounding objects, paying attention to the color. For a feeling of comfort, choose plants with dark or bright leaves if your wallpaper is in pastel colors. If you prefer dark colors in the interior of the apartment, then give preference to variegated plant species with light colors.
Ivy, bell, tradescantia look great against the background of light furniture, flowers with light green leaves and variegated flowers are favorably placed near brown interior items. When creating a unique design of your apartment using flower plants, do not forget about the flower's needs for moisture, light and warmth.
Remember, flower arrangements or just single potted flowers should be in harmonious unity with the furniture and the general interior of the apartment.
