A simple trick to give your houseplants a boost: Biophilic design in practice

You know the feeling: you bring a new indoor plant home, enthusiastically place it on the floor in the corner, next to the other pots on the dresser or the windowsill. Your plant collection is growing nicely, but when you look at your living room, it somehow "doesn't feel right." Instead of a stylish urban jungle, it starts to look like a row of pots next to each other.

Where did it go wrong? Your plants are probably missing DIMENSION.

We have a simple trick for you that designers use to make indoor plants truly stand out in a space. This approach is based on the so-called biophilic design – a style that naturally and harmoniously connects our home with nature. We will show you how you can transform ordinary pots with your favorite plants into luxurious wooden home decor with just a few right accessories.

What is the magic of adding dimension?

Imagine three plants placed next to each other on the ground. Your eyes perceive them as a single flat mass. However, as soon as you elevate one, hang another on the wall, and leave the third on the floor, a little miracle happens.

You create vertical layering. The space suddenly gains depth, looks airier, and every single plant gets a chance to shine. How can you make your living room or bedroom cozier with this trick? You just need to provide your plants with the right "stage." But forget about cold metal or plastics. Honest solid wood belongs with living greenery.

3 ways to give your plants flair with WoodenBotanery:

• 1. Get them off the floor (Tables and Pedestals)

A large Monstera or Ficus stuck on the floor fades into the space and often suffers from a lack of light. Try placing them on a spruce rotating wooden plant stand or an elegant low pedestal (such as the beautiful walnut wood piece from WoodenBotanery).

• Effect: The plant is brought to a higher level, optically enlarged, and an ordinary corner in the room instantly gains a touch of a luxurious modern interior.

• 2. Liven up empty walls (Wall-mounted stands and shelves)

Do you have a bare wall and don't want to hang another picture? Use it for your plants! Wooden plant shelves or special wall propagation stations (like the designer BotaneryLab™ ALCHEMY) are the perfect solution.

• Effect: A trailing pothos that previously cluttered a shelf will create a beautiful living 3D picture on the wall. You save floor space and bring the true essence of biophilic style into your home.

• 3. Transform an ordinary dresser (Solitaire elements and propagation stations)

If you just have small cuttings in mason jars or tiny tillandsias (air plants) sitting on your dresser, they will easily look like clutter. Add dimension to them! Place the cuttings into an elegant tabletop test tube stand made of solid wood, and put the tillandsias into special wooden holders.

• Effect: A simple "storage space" turns into a thoughtful botanical still life. These designer home accessories will immediately catch the eye of every visitor.
