It has almost been a year since many of us have packed up our desks in the office and commuted home for one last time for the foreseeable future. Many of our home offices are becoming pretty permanent for the time being, and you can start styling your workspace whether you’re in the work office or working from home, with plants, decor and so much more.
Reconnect With Nature & Create A Therapeutic Space
Having a bit of a rejig and styling up your workspace is the perfect way to indulge yourself with nature. But also the therapeutic qualities each day when working from home or at the office. Enhancing the look of your office isn’t always easy, and it is often difficult to know where to start. Keep reading our blog because we have got plenty of #plantspiration for you. From indoor house plants and plant stands and to modern pots and interesting containers.
Purchasing your house plants and decor is one thing, but scheming the feel and aesthetic takes some consideration too. Here are some aspects to think about. What colour pallet do you want? Do you prefer minimalism or maximalism? Remember your shelves and floor/corner spaces too. There are many varieties of house plants and modern decor which are designed to ‘fit in’ and save space.
Expand Your Indoor Garden With Stylish House Plants
House plants bring the green indoors and help purify the air around. Here is a selection of interior inspiration and just a few out of the many house plants we provide!
Terrariums
To hit the ground running let’s talk about Terrariums. These have been around since Victorian times, having first been developed to bring plants back from around the globe. Such was the success, with the plants arriving in great condition, the idea soon caught on and many people had variations within their home. Start your terrarium growing experience on the right foot with our stunning range of purpose-designed terrarium bottles. The terrarium kit contains a bottle with cork as well as a telescopic shovel and rake so you can easily adjust the soil and plants through the narrow neck of the bottle to construct your own ecosystem.
Orchid Plant – Brassia Summer Dream
Sometimes you can’t beat a classic home Orchid. They add a burst of colour and interest to any room it lives in, and will happily live in a pot on any surface including the corner of the room on the floor. This particular kind is a striking easy-care orchid, with 3-7 intriguing white, brown and green blooms on one spike! The Spider Monkey Orchid is an unusual and highly desirable houseplant, with narrow petals that make its blooms resemble a spider.
Big Begonias
Begonias like these are perfect for large foliage house plants. This is a great option for coverage whether you pot them in the corner of a room or prop on a work surface. They grow best in a bright spot with shelter and all grow multi-coloured leaves.
Vibrant Streptocarpus Plants
These fabulous Streptocarpus plants grow an abundance of medium size flowers in a range of colours. They are an upright growing variety and produce a really neat indoor aesthetic. These kinds look great decorative planters on a desk or shelf because of their small size.
Prop Up a Plant Stand
If you gather yourself a variety of house plants, what better way to show them off than a decorative plant stand. Many of our stands fit perfectly in corners and hallways too!
Modern Corner Plant Stand 4 Shelf

This is a very versatile stand and can display more than just plants. If using indoors, it can be a fancy storage unit holding books, photo frames and interior ornaments. However, it will remain a striking feature wherever it goes and sits comfortably anywhere from a small patio, balcony or terrace, to the hallway, bedroom or bathroom. Create your own beautiful display amongst the four sturdy shelves which blend effortlessly with any interior and exterior decor and provide an innovative attractive feature to every home or garden.
