If you live in a city, then you probably know the struggle of maximizing your tiny apartment. You have minimal counter space, little-to-no room for accent tables, and it seems like your stuff keeps multiplying. That leaves you with just the essentials to jazz up your apartment. Well, little is all that we are going to leverage for a tiny home makeover that relies on indoor plants. Nothing infuses your pad with a pop of colour and life like greenery! Indoor plants are perfect for bringing a touch of nature to living spaces, as well as calm and serenity to our busy lives. Plants can transform the home, giving life and colour to any corner of a room in an affordable way. The colour and style trend for 2018 is pink, metallics, minimalist, and modern. What better way than to mix some colour with greens to add a dash of style and zing to your living space. In addition, not only do indoor plants look luscious and bring a new texture to a space, they also have healing qualities, help with concentration and much more.

1. Fill up small empty spaces with indoor plants of varying heights

Plants are perfect for filling empty spaces on bookshelves, accent tables and even bar carts. Swing by a nursery and you're sure to find the section with adorable succulents and cacti. You could cluster plants of varying heights together but also use really low and flat vessels for cascading succulents that can spill over an edge of a shelf. They will need drainage, so I recommend punching a small hole with a hammer and nail, or drill, at the bottom of these thin brass bowls and cups.

2. Feature indoor plants in unexpected places

No need to take up counter space when you can use the open space already available to you — fridge, wall niches, and ceilings (hanging planters).

3. Select larger indoor plants to serve as your standout greens

Large plants add depth and drama to your home decor. Depending on the space available, one could bring a large plant such as a fiddle leaf fig, a rubber plant, a bird-of-paradise, or even an areca palm that could stand on its own in a little corner. The other, a medium sized monstera, a Boston fern or a ZZ plant, could occupy a side table in the living room or bedroom.

4. Indoor plants coupled with mirror decor

Plants and mirrors make for an unusual coupling. Mirrors that reflect only a blank wall serve no decorative purpose. Add a few plants in front or opposite and the view will instantly come to life. A well-positioned mirror can make a smaller room look more expansive. It is a great tool for dictating the centre of the room becoming the focal point.

5. Bright and bold home decor elements mixed with indoor plants

No matter what the weather — be it sunshine or rain, an easy way to infuse your home with touches of spring is by using flowering plants. The beauty of these is you can buy ready made arrangements or single stems to make your own. You could use seasonal flowers or plants that flower and are suitable for the indoors (Anthuriums, Peace Lily, Orchids).
