Plants in the Balcony
The balcony is a perfect transition between indoors and outdoors of your house. It is similar to having a private outdoor space where you can simply relax and rejuvenate. However, in most metro cities with space restrictions, balconies can be smaller and to completely utilise the space some landscaping may be required. The use of vertical gardens, wines and wooden separators can be greatly helpful in this context. Make sure you add a comfortable chair with some lush cushions and you can create the perfect reading spot in your home!
In the Living Room
The living room is the space that forms the place where you entertain your guests and often the most pleasing space of all. There are nook and corners in the room that can be lit up by placing a medium height plant fit for the weather such as the Snake Plant or Ficus. You can also accentuate any empty tables around with neat potted plants such as Gardenia that will fill up any empty spaces in a grand manner. For ornamental purposes, you can also opt for bonsai trees that are simply breathtakingly beautiful. Add one to your coffee table and watch space transform itself!
In the Bedroom
The ultimate place to relax and unwind yourself, the bedroom deserves some scented plants such as jasmine and lavender to help nourish your olfactory senses after a long hard day. They can be small-sized for the bedside table as well as medium size for any corners that need some colour. English Ivy is another plant that is suited to the Kerala weather and will flourish indoors while being an excellent choice for a bedroom plant. You can also add some colour by picking a smaller sized plant such as Valerian.
In the Kitchen
Kitchens often have ventilation windows provided that have a large sill. This is a great place to add freshness to your space by placing a few plants. If you have space outside, you can even venture into a small vegetable garden with plants such as tomatoes, chillies, spinach and even vegetables such as brinjal and ladies-finger. For the kitchen window sill planting herbs such as thyme or mint are a great idea for the weather.
In the Bathroom
Bathrooms can be made a lot more pleasant with the right décor and landscaping is one of the ways to get it done.
