Why are wall decorative plants an attractive decor choice?

Wall plants are a perfect element to beautify your home. Not only do they enhance your well-being, but they also help optimize the vertical function of your space. Let’s dive into the details!
 

What are the benefits of having decorative plants at home?

Wall plants are visually pleasing and offer multiple benefits. Aesthetically, they can liven up a room, add a natural touch, and break the monotony of plain walls. 

Plants are widely known for their natural air-purifying properties. They work on their own to release clean and fresh oxygen. 

Their naturally green foliage can calm the mind and bring a relaxing effect. You’ll feel a peaceful vibe reminiscent of a forest or garden, making everyone at home feel more at ease. 

Thanks to these benefits, wall decorative plants have become a popular choice to create a fresh, vibrant, and comfortable living space. Whether you live in a small apartment or a large house, wall plants will fit beautifully in any corner of your home.
 

How can wall plants help optimize vertical space?

Vertical areas are often overlooked and left bare. But these areas hold great potential for creative use, without sacrificing valuable floor space. One great solution? Wall decorative plants! 

Utilizing your walls as planting areas is ideal, especially if you live in a small apartment or have limited land. Vertical plants not only save space but also bring a refreshing natural touch to your interior. 

Moreover, plants on the wall can serve as standout decorative elements that bring a sense of nature into the room.
 

Types of wall decorative plants: Which one suits you best?

With so many wall plant options, like indoor and outdoor, it can be tough to choose the right one. From climbing vines to faux plants, take a look at the options below for inspiration!
 

Climbing plants: A classic choice for lush green walls

Achieve a natural, lush, and captivating wall look with climbing plants. Popular wall vines like pothos (devil’s ivy) or dollar plant are known for their trailing growth pattern. 

These plants grow by following available surfaces like wires, strings, or even directly on the wall. The result? A beautifully dense, natural garden-like vibe. Perfect for creating a cozy corner at home. 

Another advantage is their ability to cover wide wall surfaces, including those that may look bare or less attractive.
 

Hanging plants, elegant cascading aesthetics

Hanging plants serve as decorative elements that are both functional and artistic. Plants like spider plants or Tradescantia are popular for their downward-hanging leaves, creating a soft and dynamic visual effect. 

This feature makes them ideal for hanging pots or wall-mounted shelves, adding a natural flow from top to bottom. 

Their trailing leaves add visual depth to the room, turning a once-flat wall into a more lively and appealing space while offering a cool, elegant ambiance. 

The cascading style also creates beautiful contrast with other decor elements, without taking up floor space.
 

Epiphyte plants: A unique solution with minimal planting media

Looking for a unique and stylish approach to indoor plants? Epiphytes or air plants, offer both. These low-maintenance plants don’t need soil to grow. They thrive by attaching themselves to nearby surfaces without harming the host. 

Because they don’t require large pots or complex growing media, epiphytes are perfect for those seeking a hassle-free green touch. 

Their flexible styling suits anything from minimalist to bohemian interiors, delivering an artistic and modern feel all at once.
 

Faux green plants, charming decor with minimal upkeep

Get that lush and exotic green look, without the hassle, using IKEA’s artificial green plants! While they’re not real, their realistic appearance, from leaf shape to texture, can beautifully enhance any space. 

These plants are ideal if you have a busy lifestyle or limited natural light. Just place them in a corner, hang them up, or display them vertically using IKEA’s wall shelves or display racks

Maintenance is simple, just dust them off occasionally. You’ll enjoy the greenery without worrying about wilting or dying plants! They come in various styles too, from mint and eucalyptus to Monstera leaves.
 

How to choose the right wall plant based on your room’s needs

Choosing wall plants isn’t just about looks. You need to consider your room’s conditions to ensure the plants last long and look their best. Here are some tips!
 

How much sunlight enters your space?

Light intensity affects how well your plants thrive. Some need full sunlight, while others do better in shady spots. Pick your plants based on the light in the intended area to ensure healthy growth.
 

What is the moisture level in your chosen wall area?

Think about the humidity of the room. For damp areas like bathrooms or kitchens, pick plants that can tolerate high moisture to avoid wilting or rotting quickly.
 

Do you have time for extra care?

If you lead a busy lifestyle, choose low-maintenance plants like cactus, air plants, or IKEA’s artificial plants options. But if you enjoy caring for plants and have the time, go for varieties that need regular watering or trimming.
 

Are you looking for pet or child-safe plants?

Have pets or young kids at home? Make sure you choose non-toxic plants. Avoid poisonous species and consider safe faux options from IKEA. Always prioritize family-friendly choices to keep your home healthy and safe.
