How To Arrange Indoor Plants In Your Home

Create a plant corner

One of my favorite (and easiest!) ways to arrange indoor plants is by curating a plant corner.

Since most indoor plants thrive in bright indirect light, you can arrange your plants by the window in your living room or bedroom.

To make the area visually interesting, group medium to larger and tall plants.

A successful plant corner will lend your space lush jungle vibes. Besides the plant itself, think of the plant holders/planters as decor for your home.

Use different materials like concrete planters, woven baskets, and terracotta pots for extra texture and dimension. To add height, try incorporating a wooden stool or a rattan plant stand.

Pro tip: Not sure how many plants to include? Use odd numbers to make the indoor plant arrangement look casual and chic.

Arrange your indoor plants around statement furniture

Statement furniture looks great on its own but arranging indoor plants around them instantly upgrades the entire look.

Try arranging your indoor plants next to large furniture like a full-length mirror or a bar cart in your living room.

If the area doesn’t get much light, opt for a hardy plant like a tall ZZ plant or a money plant.

Dried foliage like large palm leaves and tall pampas grass are great alternatives for your indoor plant arrangement.

Pro tip: Don’t want the greenery to steal the spotlight from your statement furniture? Stick to 1-2 tall and large plants. Using a cluster of small plants may cause the area to look cluttered.

Create a focal point by the entryway

Plants are a must-have when it comes to decorating the entryway, as they make the home very warm and inviting.

Arrange tall indoor plants like a fiddle fig leaf plant next to an entryway console.

Styling a small entryway? Add a lush medium-sized plant to an entryway console and style it with a lamp and coffee table books.

An entryway typically doesn’t get a lot of light, so consider purchasing plants like cacti and snake plants for this area.

Pro tip: Don’t have a green thumb? Try faux indoor plants instead like the birds of paradise plant or an olive tree.

Arrange small indoor plants on shelves

Small and/or trailing plants add a lot of depth when decorating shelves with indoor plants.

We love our trailing photos because it drapes so beautifully against our shelves and adds an interesting element to our kitchen.

Whether you’re decorating bookshelves or kitchen shelves, adding indoor plants is always a great idea!

Arranging indoor plants on open shelving adds color and life to a neutral-colored space.

Style indoor plants with other decorative objects like candles, books, vases, tableware, and art for a stylish finish.

Pro tip: Looking for form and function in your kitchen? Try growing herbs to make your kitchen look and smell good.

Use plants as a table centerpiece

Are you a minimalist looking to arrange indoor plants in your home?

If you answered yes, then you’ll want to start by displaying one plant on a table as the centerpiece. The dining table or a coffee table is a great surface for this tip.

Make the spot the center of attention by pairing a large plant with a beautiful vase. This is very important so that your plant is not drowned by the other elements in the space.

The best plant to use for a centerpiece is a bouquet of eucalyptus because it’s lush and has great texture. Plus, it’s affordable and easy to get!

Looking for a faux option that looks incredibly real? Try a large potted orchid plant made out of silk cloth.

Pro tip: Afraid of mites and/or other bugs? Use dried/artificial flowers or foliage in ceramic or glass vases instead.

Style a vignette in your home

Do you have unused space at home? It could be a blank wall or a non-functioning fireplace.

Well, it’s time to stop neglecting this space as it’s prime real estate to arrange your indoor plants!

If you’re working with a tight space like a small blank wall, consider using a legged planter or a plant stand to hold a variety of small and/or trailing plants.

Alternatively, invest in a beautiful rattan plant stand to elevate a large indoor plant.

Pro tip: Be creative and choose plants with different colors, textures, and heights to brighten up the space.

Not sure which indoor plants to purchase? Start with these plants that look great in any home!

P/S: I have most of the plants below and I LOVE all of them!

Tall and large indoor plants perfect for corners

1. Monstera Deliciosa – The monstera, also known as the Swiss cheese plant, is a beautiful indoor plant that works in practically any corner. However, it thrives under bright indirect light, so it is better off in an area that has large windows.

2. Birds of Paradise – With its broad vibrant green leaves, the birds of paradise plant is one of the most photogenic plants. It is also one of my fav plants because it reminds me of a tropical vacation!

3. ZZ plant – Ah, the one plant I didn’t water for five months and survived. This plant is almost impossible to kill.

Small indoor plants suitable for coffee tables

4. Peace lily – This plant is perfect for the coffee table – it’s beautiful, delicate, and surprisingly easy to care for.

5. Pilea – Don’t have room for a big plant? Try the pilea plant – it’s small yet cute enough to make a statement.

6. Snake plant – If your home lacks light, then the snake plant is your best bet. This plant is low-maintenance, which means it can pretty much thrive under any condition.

Medium indoor plants suitable for dining table centerpieces

7. Dried floral arrangement – Don’t have a green thumb? I got you. Use a dried floral arrangement like this one to soften your space. The best part? This arrangement lasts for years.

8. Autumn fern – I’m a sucker for a plant that has so much organic texture like the autumn fern. If you’re a fan of the Studio McGee look, you NEED this plant! Artificial option available here.

9. Orchids – Nothing is more elegant than having an orchid plant as a centerpiece for the dining table. This particular towering white orchid comes in a pretty blue and white pot that’s minimal yet chic.

BUDGET PRINTS

I get it – not everyone has the means to splurge on art. Yours truly included! However, that doesn’t mean we need to avoid art entirely. When it comes to affordable art, Etsy is an incredible and trustworthy resource. Here are two of my favorites:

Millamix

Known for: Mid-century modern art featuring the moon, sun, plants, landscapes and women. Her use of organic shapes and abstract lines transform common objects and views into captivating prints.

Color palette: Autumnal shades like terracotta, tan, beige, navy and black.

Price points: USD7 – USD20

Additional info: Digital downloads available. Get 50% off if you purchase 3 prints!

That Isle Life Pick: Mid Century Modern Sun and Moon Print Set. I went through her library of prints twice before I finally settled on these prints for our dining area. Firstly, our dining area needs a pop of color and I have a soft spot for this terracotta and tan combo. (Fun fact: I selected these colors for my wedding too!) Secondly, I love the idea that these two prints belong next to each other in our gallery wall. Our dining area faces a huge window, where my husband and I often witness many sunsets. I like to think of the motifs as a way of us feeling, “I thank the sun, the stars and the moon that I have you.”

Sisi and Seb

Known For: Beach/ocean and bohemian desert prints. Kathrin’s travel prints does an excellent job of evoking a sense of wanderlust within me.

Color Palette: Varies. Although her photography prints are not laser-sharp, I love the dreamy effect they portray.

Price Points: USD5 – USD25

That Isle Life Pick: Coastal Sea. Honestly, I had a hard time selecting just one but I’ve loved this particular one for months. I love the color, the composition, and the little heart-shaped hole in the middle of the giant rock. Kinda feels like I left my heart in the ocean, y’know?

AFFORDABLE PRINTS

Jasmine Dowling

Known For: Typography and still life imagery. Jasmine’s art selection may be small, but it sure is drop-dead gorgeous. She has a very distinct branding, which you can immediately pick up by looking at her work and social media.

Color Palette: Pastel pink, peach, nude with a sprinkle of yellow.

Price Points: USD18 – USD190

Additional Info: If you’re a fan of Jasmine’s work but don’t have the means to purchase her art, follow her on Instagram! Her branding is on-point and I’m obsessed with her pink aesthetic. Think of it as visiting a digital art gallery – for free!

That Isle Life Pick: Going Offline. I was torn between Going Offline and this, but ultimately decided on the former because come on, everyone needs a reminder to put their phones away and focus on what’s important in life.

Sabina Fenn

Known For: Tropical prints that make you want to take off on a holiday, and still-life fruit prints that look almost too good to eat. Sabina’s style reminds me a little of Matisse, but a lot more feminine and fun!

Color Palette: Colorful and vibrant. Her original paintings are done in watercolor so her prints have an organic feel to them.

Price Points: USD17 – USD60

That Isle Life Pick: Peaceful Morocco II. There’s something about Sabina’s art that looks so similar yet so different. It’s fascinating how each piece has so much detail. Peaceful Morocco II combines all of the elements I love in my everyday life: sea, plants, home decor and fashion (that chic wide-brimmed hat!)

PREMIUM PRINTS

Ingrid Beddoes

Known For: Fine art photography especially aerial shots of beaches. Her prints are minimal in nature but her overall aesthetic is very serene and dreamy.

Color Palette: Varies, but her popular beach aerial prints are often in soft pastel hues.

Price Points: USD60 – USD300

Additional Info: Ingrid has worked with many brands and retailers before but you may have spotted her work in Urban Outfitters.

That Isle Life Pick: Sea Bliss. As much as I love majority of Ingrid’s work, Sea Bliss has a special place in my heart. I first came across this beautiful imagery in early 2019 and I haven’t been able to get it out of my head since. Besides being the first piece of work I’d ever seen from Ingrid, it was also the first piece that made me consider purchasing art. I’m definitely saving this for my next art purchase.

Kimmy Hogan

Known For: Larger-than-life florals. Although Kimmy’s work is done digitally, each stroke is drawn and colored individually, making the piece resemble a real painting. Artwork can take days or weeks to complete.

Color Palette: Varies, but my favorites are her primarily pink ones with a hint of warm tones.

Price Points: USD42 – USD500+

Additional Info: Kimmy offers open edition and limited edition artworks. Open edition artworks are more affordable as they are always readily available. On the other hand, limited edition artworks are very exclusive and come in limited quantities. They are signed and numbered individually.

That Isle Life Pick: Flowerbed II. I’m a big fan of Kimmy so it was challenging selecting just one to be featured. That being said, Flowerbed II caught my eye first and I’ve been hooked since. Although I can’t afford her art now, securing one of her prints for my gallery wall is on my bucket list!
