We all love to have a little house plant dotted here and there, to breathe a bit of life into the home and connect us with nature even when we’re spending time tucked away indoors. However, our little foliaged friends are often an afterthought when it comes to planning out our decor. The designers of these three homes approached things a little differently. Instead of chucking random indoor plants into leftover spaces, the inclusion of plants was considered from the get go, as part of the considered decoration. Decorating with plants makes perfect sense when you look at the array of colours and textures they can bring, and their revitalising effect on their surroundings.

At first glance this 68 square metre home in Kyiv, Ukraine, follows a botanical theme more so in colour and art than in living and breathing specimens. A few cut stems bloom in decorative vases around the lounge but the main focal point are a pair of palm tree art prints in tropical green mounts. | Visualizer: Maria Kukoba.
