How to choose the right artificial plant
Artificial plants can recreate a wide range of species and be produced in different sizes. To ensure a harmonious design, it is necessary to take some tips into consideration when choosing the plant model for your room.
- Keep an eye on the size: The rule is simple, the size of the plant and the size of the ornament are directly related to the size of the room. Small rooms need small arrangements, narrow plants, and thin, delicate trees so as not to pollute visually or diminish the feeling of spaciousness. Meanwhile, spacious rooms with double-height ceilings go perfectly with leafy plants and large, wide ornaments.
- Choose the right species: choose a design and location that follows the characteristics of the natural species reproduced. if the chosen model recreates a plant that needs little natural lighting, use it in a location with this characteristic. This will make your arrangement look more natural and realistic.
- Pay attention to the vessel: Ornamentation is also part of the decoration, so choose a model that matches the style, space, and size of your plant and room. Larger vases can be used on the floor, in the entrance hall, or next to furniture such as sofas and TV furniture, while smaller ornaments are perfect for shelves, tables, and sideboards.
- Mix it with natural elements: to give a more realistic touch, use natural elements to assemble your arrangement. pebbles and gravel inside the vase are excellent options to compose the environment and make your plant more natural.
Trees, foliage, or arrangements, the important thing is to harmonize the chosen artificial plant with the style and decor of yours.
