If there’s one thing we’ve learned over the years, it’s that greenery can completely transform a space.

Whether it’s a lush plant in a large vessel or a simple sprig in a cute pot, greenery adds life, color, and texture in ways that few other decor pieces can. And the best part? It’s easy to achieve that elevated, sophisticated look without a lot of “stuff.”

Let’s talk about how greenery can enhance your home, why we love using it, and share some of our favorite, affordable greenery picks that will look gorgeous in your space all year long.

Why We Love Greenery

Greenery is one of those timeless elements that can work in any space—modern, traditional, industrial, or bohemian. But what we love most about greenery is its versatility. It’s low-maintenance, adds instant color, and gives a room a sense of calm and balance. A large plant in a stylish vessel can make a dramatic impact, but even smaller greenery pieces can do wonders when strategically placed.

The best part? Greenery doesn’t require a lot of other accessories to make a space feel complete. A few thoughtfully chosen plants can fill an empty corner, add warmth to a coffee table, or create a focal point in a room. You don’t need to overdo it with décor or clutter when greenery is doing the heavy lifting!

How Greenery Adds Space and Color

One of the main reasons we love using greenery in larger vessels is because it helps fill a space without the need for a ton of extra décor.

Whether it’s a tall, statement-making tree or a low-maintenance potted plant, greenery naturally draws the eye and adds structure to the room. It’s an effortless way to bring color and texture into a space without overwhelming it.

Using greenery in larger vessels is especially effective for giving the room a more balanced, cohesive look. It helps break up large, empty areas and adds an organic touch that pairs beautifully with almost any design style.

And the best part? Greenery is an incredibly cost-effective way to elevate a space. You can achieve that high-end, designer feel with just a few carefully placed plants.

Our Favorite Affordable Greenery Picks

Over the past year, we’ve sourced and installed a lot of greenery, and through trial and error, we’ve found a few pieces that we can confidently say will thrive in your home and look amazing year-round. Here are some of our favorites:

Faux Potted Japanese Potted Climbing Fern: we used this fern in a commercial space earlier this Fall. It is packaged with care and perfection and the price is oh so nice. Don’t miss out while it is on major sale. We have a feeling at a price this low, this one is sure to discontinue when it is gone. (SHOP HERE)

Faux Artificial Eucalyptus Stems: we love these stems in large short vessels. They come in a pack of three. We recommend buying 3-4 packs and putting them all together in one vessel. Also go with more is more when filling a vessel with greenery. (SHOP HERE).

Faux Nandina Branches: we love these in a tall vessel. The shade of green is light and airy. We love how they bend and shape to a natural look. They styled so well in this primary bathroom in front of all of this natural light. (SHOP HERE)

Faux Ficus Twig: this stem gets a lot of love from us. You don’t need a lot of it to make a statement. The more twig like and sparse it looks the better. You can see it used below on the top of a shelf to give some height, texture and to draw your eye up. (SHOP HERE).

Tips for Making Greenery Work in Your Home

• Choose the right vessel: A stylish pot or planter can make a huge difference in how your plant complements your décor. We love using large, simple vessels to make greenery feel like part of the design. Think neutral tones, minimalistic designs, and statement-making textures.
• Play with placement: Don’t be afraid to mix and match different plants or experiment with placement. A large fiddle leaf fig tree can make a bold statement in the corner of a room, while smaller plants like pothos or snake plants can be used on coffee tables, bookshelves, or windowsills.
• Go for variety: Different shapes, sizes, and textures of plants can add layers and interest to your space. Consider combining tall plants with trailing ones for a dynamic look.
• Mix faux and real: If you’re not great with plant care or you’re looking for a more affordable option, mixing in some high-quality faux plants can be a great solution. Just make sure to mix them in with real plants so your space still feels organic.
