Indoor plants - good for your mind, body and spirit

Keeping organised in the home is not just about where things go and how we use them. It is also about creating a home we enjoy being in. Indoor plants are a great way of creating spaces that feel good and compliment our lives.

By surrounding ourselves with plants, we can create a sort of natural, living sanctuary, which can help reduce stress and create a feeling of well-being. 

The process of caring for plants offers a sense of accomplishment. This is good for the soul. 

Plants help lower background noise. Plants and their leaves absorb, diffract or reflect background noise, thereby positively influencing the acoustics of the space and making the home quieter and more peaceful. 

Not only do indoor plants add colour and liveliness to your space, but they can also be used to screen unattractive areas, and moderate room temperature by shading hot, bright areas . 

Plants help improve air quality by reducing carbon dioxide levels, turning it into oxygen and thereby improving air quality. They can also reduce levels of certain pollutants in your home. Place several plants together, and you can increase the humidity of a room, which helps keep respiratory distresses at bay.

There are heaps of great places to find indoor plants, gorgeous pots to put them in, and, helpful advice and guidance on choosing them. 

​Choose just one to get started or create a little oasis in a space you love. It's so easy and so good for you.
