Indoor House Plants Decor to Define Areas

Decorating with houseplants is one of the easiest ways to incorporate plants into your space. An easy way to achieve this is to use them to define areas. Plants are great if you want to create natural barriers within your space. It makes achieving defined areas in open spaces simple and of course decorative!

This works particularly well in open-planned kitchens and living room areas. These are spaces where you might want to create a sense of separation without the need for physical walls or furniture. You can use houseplants to split the space without creating any barriers.

You can also use houseplants to create a natural divide alongside your furniture. Adding houseplants on shelves or storage units is a great way to decorate and can help to create a softer, more inviting space. This could be particularly useful if you are renting your home or if space is tight.

Climbing plants such as Monstera Deliciosa or a Philodendron Minima make excellent choices to define areas within your home. The height they add to a space gives the plants extra presence and more definition. They look stunning too!
