Interior design is responsible for transforming and adapting spaces so that they respond to your particular needs and tastes, it is a way of enhancing form and function through style. Your footprint, your personality and aesthetics are what will determine the decorative style you will feel inclined to when decorating, but it will also allow you to recreate a certain atmosphere, evoking sensations and feelings. Therein lies the magic and importance of interior design, decorating has an incredible positive impact on your mood, even more so if you use plants.
It is scientifically proven that incorporating plants into your spaces allows you to reduce your stress levels, it also has other benefits as some purifying plants can improve the quality of the air you breathe. But this time I want to focus on the aesthetic part, so we will offer you some tricks to incorporate plants into some interior design trends.
A Plant for Every
Mid-Century Modern
StyleThe style of the mid-20th century acquired very marked characteristics after the Second World War, in which echoes of the Bauhaus school can be seen in the objects and furniture. There was an air of the future, of hope and glimpses of modernity, of the future that was coming. This resulted in very modern and precise lines, with a particular use of color that established a direct dialogue with the natural, the exterior. Wood is combined with shades of orange, yellow, forest green and browns. Gone is the functional sobriety of other austere times, this is about creating bonds
In this type of decoration, curves and angles predominate. The furniture has a timeless air, you know it's from another era but it still speaks of modernity. The good news is that many houseplants that are around today were popular at the time, so take advantage. Monstera Deliciosa is ideal for this decorative style, especially if you put it on stakes that give it height instead of dropping it. Likewise, the Lemon Drácena looks very beautiful and also adds visual height to the space. Other popular plants of the time are the Ficus elastica, the snake plant, and the fiddle-leaf fig tree.
Pots are a great way to add dimension, color, and play with the height of your plants. You can use a Tulum planter, which successfully combines natural materials. The Helsinki planter, on the other hand, offers the perfect combination of natural and modern with the wooden base and the porcelain planter.

minimalist
Inspired by the art movements of the '60s and '70s, minimalism takes elements of traditional Zen art and incorporates them into a very sober color palette in which whites predominate. Minimalism seeks to reduce everything to the basics, to the minimum expression. What matters here is the efficiency of the design, there are no unnecessary interventions or crowded spaces. The open space, straight lines and light colors combined with metallic and shiny textures, maximize the details, creating elements of impact.
In minimalism, repetition, symmetry, clean lines and the incredible use of natural light are basic guidelines. Polished finishes, metals, plastics and others predominate over rustic wood and natural finishes. Suitable plants for the minimalist style are those with straight, harmonious and simple lines, nothing too bulky or cluttered.
Glass terrariums look perfect on tables and surfaces, while plants like sanseviera, with their straight and sharp lines, look perfect. Lemon dracenas help give visual height, while cacti go great with their angular designs. They will be the ideal focal point.
Avoid pots made of terracotta or natural materials and finishes. Better those made of plastic, polished or white porcelain, sober and without much adornment, such as the Eco Amsterdam pots. Don't have a lot of space? Consider installing a geometric shelf, such as the floating hexagonal shelf.

Bohemian
The bohemian style is the opposite of minimalism in many ways. There are no strict rules here, but the express command to manifest your tastes exuberantly and vividly. The key to the boho style is interiors that are brimming with personal items, mixtures of ethnic objects, textures and colors. You can mix vintage objects with contemporary, patterns, and solids. The important thing is that it offers you a cozy and warm feeling.

The appropriate plants for the bohemian style are those exuberant, leafy: calatheas, Kentia palms, Potos, Alocasias and ferns are beautiful because with their large or abundant leaves they will be able to fill the spaces, while contrasting with their beautiful colors. More is more here, so you can group your plants together and play around with the colors and materials of the pots. Let your imagination run wild and use accessories such as the Istanbul planter, how about this Flower Mandala table? Or the Ethnic and Nauru pots. If you want something more fun and different, then go straight for Samoa pots.
