Liven Up Neutral Spaces

Tropical colors can brighten up light and airy minimalist spaces. Plant a bowl of happiness with a colorful bromeliad flanked by two grafted cactus plants to make a dish garden.
Add shiny decorative gems for a fun touch. For other pops of color, consider lanterns and vases to tie it all together.
Create a Vignette

Your houseplants can anchor a decorative collection of items in your home. Plant an unexpected succulent trio in and on top of old desk drawers.
Use a bit of artful decor, such as vases and a chic small flowerpot, to complete the look. While you’re at it, check out these easy growing no-fail houseplants.
Add Pizzazz to a Blank Wall

Paint some flowerpots and add colorful cacti and succulents for a boho-chic look. Find out more on putting this terrarium together using an old fish tank.
Transform Overlooked Areas

Give an otherwise drab space some color when you add a houseplant. Then add whimsical accents, such as a modern clock and sideways print.
Don’t forget, indoor plants such as sansevieria, also called snake plant, palms and pothos and ivy bring lots of fringe benefits because they provide oxygen and purify the air.
Carve Out a Nook

Hang a bit of sunshine with a terrarium filled with brightly colored plants, sea glass and decorative pebbles. Terrariums take less than an hour to put together and do so much to beautify small spaces.
Create a Stylish Perch

On a rustic shelf or decorative box, make a place where your plants gather. Cluster them in a place where you might cozy up to read a book.
To keep your greenery looking fresh, repot your houseplants if they look tired and saggy or just need a bigger home. When you refresh the potting soil, your indoor plants also benefit.
