Creating Layers
Using your space to create layers within your grouping of plants is one of the easiest ways to bring in that uniqueness and urban jungle feel.
I took a dance class in college and my professor told me that the best dances are ones that use different levels throughout the dance: high, medium, and low. I find this to be the same when I am layering my plants. The key here is to spread out your plant babies to fully utilize your space.
Create that unique look by using old books, wooden boards, and even upside-down terra cotta planters as platforms for your plants. Use your ceilings to hang a pothos or spider plant and watch the leaves gradually grow and trickle down. Don't be afraid to take a bigger plant that's usually placed on the floor and raise it up with a plant stand. This creates a beautiful dynamic look that will wow guests when they walk in the room.
Another easy way to create levels is by using different sized pots! Break that monotoned look with planters that come in different sizes and colors that work together. They don't have to match unless you want them too. It's your plant collection. Display them how you want.
There's nothing better than breaking the "plant styling rules"! Want a more dynamic vibe? Go mess around with your current collection and see what you come up with! I get the same feeling I did as a kid when I would rearrange my room.
