I am currently obsessed with potted plants. I find the different textures and colours of living plants in my home and atelier inspiring and uplifting. Having plants indoors brings an invigorating energy to a room, something particularly welcome during dreary winter days.  Be bold and fill your house with a variety of houseplants and play with scale and texture. Use them everywhere as there is no room that doesn’t benefit from having a pop of natural green.

Tall tree houseplants such as ficus lyrata or benjamina work well in a home as they tend to grown upright so they fit in tight corners. I love the glossy green leaves of the ficus lyrata. I also like grouping two or three plants of contrasting scale and colour on a coffee table.  Pair a delicate maidenhair fern with rose-painted calathea.  Begonia rex is a stunning highly variegated leaf in aubergine, cream and green tones that works well on its own. Succulents, which thrive on neglect, look good in a cluster on a bedside table.  I love trailing plants like ivy and string of hearts which are stylish on bookshelves.
