Indoor Gardening 101: Tips For Starting Your Home Garden!
Who says you can only have a garden outdoors? With innovations and improvements in gardening and indoor design, a lot of people have begun and successfully managed to integrate their gardening dreams and interior management. Indoor gardens have begun taking over the design scene, especially due to how they add amazing value to indoor spaces and how they add a spice of life to any kind of design. Thing is, indoor gardens are more than just placing plants inside your home. How exactly do you start, though?
Choose according to your lifestyle. While indoor plants generally tend to need less attention compared to other plants, other indoor plants do prove to be trickier to take care compared to others. For instance, succulents are favored as indoor plants as they do need less attention compared to others. You can opt for more expensive but decorative plants such as bonsai to add a bit of natural flair to your household. When choosing indoor plants to care for, always choose plants you know you’ll be able to water and take care of according to your schedule.
Match plant appearance with overall home aesthetics. Even if you don’t want to choose plants based on appearance, it might help for you to choose plants to take care of at home based on their aesthetic appeal. This is important, as plants can greatly improve the overall vibe and atmosphere in any home design. Plants in traditional home interiors can add a huge human and nostalgic element to wood and antiquated designs. Meanwhile, plants in more modern homes add color and accentuate certain parts of the room, which is helpful for neutrally-colored homes.
Play with placement and decorations styles. Indoor plants don’t necessarily have to be small and potted, or tall and potted. You can experiment with plant decoration to add flair and style to your indoor garden. For instance, you can use tall and potted plants to accentuate living spaces, while small and potted plants can help add life to shelves and desks. You can also opt for hanging plants such as vines and herbs to improve aesthetics in your kitchen and even other empty walls in the house.
Think inventory and supplies. When organizing an indoor garden, it’s important to consider not just the kind of plants you’ll put there but also where you’d be storing the rest of your inventory and supplies. It’s likely that you’ll want to choose plants based on how they increase the appeal of your indoor space. You need to consider where you’d be placing indoor supplies such as extra pots, hoses, seeds, and the like. This also helps you plan better on how to coordinate should you hire moving packing services and other professionals.
Consider hiring external help. When it comes to planning your indoor garden, it doesn’t necessarily have to be just you doing everything. This us especially if you have to consider moving decorations, planting implements, and the plants themselves to their spot at home. Consider hiring a gardening professional to aid with your plant selection, and even movers to make sure everything you buy will be transported and placed safely in their respective places.
