Bring Nature Indoors With a Lush Indoor Garden
Bring nature indoors by layering a variety of plants that add texture, color, and life to every room.

Arrange pots by scale, rotate for light, and keep care simple so you can roam freely—your home feels alive, breathable, and effortlessly modern.
Swap Heavy Drapes for Sheer Pastel Curtains
After layering plants to soften corners and lift the room, swap heavy drapes for sheer pastel curtains to let that green-filled light breathe even more freely.

Framed pressed flowers bring an air of delicate, lived-in elegance to gallery walls, and you can use them to introduce color, pattern, and a personal touch without overwhelming the space.
