When it comes to making a bold statement, not much can beat an indoor tree. While we’ll always love our small houseplants, mini herb gardens, and adorably tiny succulents, there’s something so unique and out of the ordinary about having a tree under your roof. Plants are figuratively and literally the breath of fresh air we need in our homes after a long day, and they happen to look really chic while doing it.

With spring officially under way as of today, we can't think about anything except gardens—indoors as well as out. Why not in the bathroom, where the
Every home needs a few living things in it...other than people, of course. Pets count and are essential (at least to me), but they don't exactly contribute to the decor plan. Plants and flowers do contribute and can be used to bring some color, texture, and life to pretty much any room. They make for a quick, easy, and inexpensive accessory. I'm a big fan of fiddle leaf fig trees, succulents, and orchids because they all look good, last longer than cut flowers, and are really easy to care for. Here are a couple of examples: I keep a cachepot with two orchids on the coffee table in my den... The orchid arrangement is the cherry on top in Colleen McGill's entry design (one of my all-time favs)...

And a towering fiddle leaf fig tree adds a punch of green to Grant K. Gibson's living room... Designed by Grant K. Gibson As far as containing these green lifeforms goes, trees obviously need large planters as I posted about before and the succulents and orchids can be placed in a wide variety of containers and vessels. With both of these plants you can use one or group many together to fill a larger planter and make a bigger statement. Whatever the size may be, make sure that the vessel you pick is interesting and impactful. The plant and its container will serve as an accessory in the room and every accessory should contribute to the overall style. Use your imagination and have some fun with it! Here are some ideas...

I also love styles from Emilia Ceramics and there are tons of great inexpensive options at Jamali Garden and Save on Crafts (their silver plated julep cups are great for single orchids). I'm a sucker for the Chinoiserie planters and cachepots. Which style do you like best? And do you have any plants in your home? What kinds?
