Color movement directs the eye through a room, and houseplants play a significant role in this basic design element. A dull sea of greens, whether foliage or textile, is two-dimensional—we crave depth and layering. Yet this is merely the tip of the iceberg in working with the whole plant color range.
Discover nine methods for creating a balanced plant display:
1- Pink plants do exist. Meet the aglaonema wishes, which thrives without direct sunlight—perfect for my north-facing home.
2- If you prefer classic green houseplants, add contrast with glossy planters for eye appeal.
3- Even the weirdest plant depends on its support group, and this Greek column trellis does a much better job than plain stakes.
4- The reddish-brown begonia ties together a number of warm colors without appearing over-coordinated or matchy.
5- You could choose a lamp, but this white arrowhead plant naturally lights up any dark corner instead.
6- Pattern can be part of the foliage! The blush stripes define the calathea pinstripe’s distinctive appearance.
7- Anchoring elements are needed in every arrangement. Rubber trees bring in deep, near black-green tones to ground the combination.
