Invite nature into your home with a botanical lifestyle!

You've probably heard of the botanical lifestyle! If you love nature, it's easy to get on board with this trend, which has been very popular for several years and is not going away anytime soon.

What is a botanical lifestyle?

The botanical lifestyle is ideal for people with a "green" spirit. The ambience is created by the choice of naturally aged materials, wooden floor coverings and various plants. The idea is to create an authentic atmosphere imbued with greenery and natural materials.

Interior decoration that puts plants in the spotlight!

Using plants to decorate your living room is the best way to bring a touch of freshness to your interior. Studies have also shown that thanks to the breath of oxygen diffused in the house, the vegetation amplifies the feeling of well-being and serenity.

Plants, yes, but not just plants!

To create a botanical atmosphere in the rules of the art, placing plants in the four corners of your rooms is not enough. You should also opt for a painting or wallpaper that illustrates this invigorating theme. Then mix green and brown shades and add a few floral patterns to accentuate this authentic atmosphere that will change the way you live.

Choosing the right plants

If you already have green fingers, that's a good starting point. Otherwise, here are some suggestions that will sublimate your interior without real effort:

  • The cactus: With so many varieties from which to choose, the cactus is the king of house plants. It involves very little maintenance and does not require watering.
  • The fake philodendron: This houseplant from tropical rainforests is content with a few occasional drops of water. With its large lobed and perforated leaves, it introduces a touch of greenery that is not likely to go unnoticed.
  • The Strelitzia Nicolai: It's very tall size has earned it the name "bird of paradise". However, it should be maintained more regularly than the plants mentioned above.
  • The Areca Palm: This plant should be watered more often, but its undeniably majestic appearance is truly worthy of the effort!
