Plants for Your Modern Home
Modern Home Interiors Defined
Modern home interior style can be defined by its clean lines, geometric shapes, and open and uncluttered space. Color palettes are monochrome— whites, blacks, earthy, and neutral tones.
Obviously, any plant can go with your modern interior, but some plants just go better with this interior style if you are trying to stick with that theme. Here are some of our favorite plants that amplify your modern interior style (and don’t forget if you want more help in this area, to connect with us for a free consult):
Cacti
Cacti are perfect for modern-style homes due to their sleek and unique shapes. They are low-maintenance and can survive in various conditions—they are used to some of the harshest environments after all—making them ideal for busy homeowners. There's a wide variety of cacti available. Choose one that complements complements your home decor the best. Add dimension by playing with height, width and texture.
Majesty Palm
Majesty Palms can add a touch of elegance to your modern living space. Their lush green leaves transform any blank corner of your house into a tropical paradise. They require a moderate level of care, but their majestic appearance makes it all worth it.
Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera isn't just a plant; it's a multi-purpose wonder. Apart from adding to the clean lines for that modern aesthetic, it has numerous health benefits. The gel inside the leaves can be used to soothe sunburn, moisturize skin, heal wounds, and hydrate dry hair. It truly is a must-have for every home, no matter your interior style.
Ficus Audrey
Ficus Audrey, the cousin to the ficus elastica (rubber plant) and the ficus lyrata (fiddle leaf fig) is an elegant plant with glossy leaves that can purify your home's air. It is less fussy than the fiddle leaf but does require special care to ensure it reaches its full green potential (it requires a moderate amount of sunlight and water). It’s the perfect complement to your modern decor—clean lines and purified air are perfect for a healthier living environment.
