So you love rooms with live plants? You are not alone. We are firmly in that camp and houseplants have never been more popular. They add instant texture and the life of a plant adds life to a room. You simply feel better in a room that has some plants in it!
We definitely think that every room in the house can benefit from a live plant. However, it may be more manageable to focus that effort toward your main rooms as plants do require maintenance. Between watering, repotting, and fertilizing, what do you do if you don’t have a green thumb, or you simply don’t have a lot of extra time?
As an interior design firm that always wants to add function to your space, it’s our job to know what plants are the easiest to maintain. We are super busy, so we definitely understand the need for plants that will survive a distracted homeowner!
Therefore, when you want all the fresh air and happy vibes that come from houseplants, but you need a few options that are forgiving to busy people without green thumbs, we’ve got you covered.
And, in case you are looking for a list of places to shop for these plants in Nashville, we are particularly fond of the following plant stores. Hopefully one of these is located near you and by purchasing here, you are supporting local, which we always love to do!
