Some see artificial plants as tacky, but for those with pets or young children, they can be a more practical option. More realistic looking artificial plants are also now available.
Keeping fake plants in your home is perfect for those that are not ready for the commitment that is required with caring for a real plant.
Artificial plants only require a bit of dusting every now and then and that is it for a plant that can last a lifetime.
There are benefits to having real plants, like improved air quality from the oxygen they emit and other environmental benefits. Still, the care they require is not for everyone.
Look for “real touch” artificial plants or silk flowers for the best looking artificial plants for home décor.
You will want plants made from high-quality silk or PE plastic for a realistic appearance. Additionally, choose options with varying shades of green and textured leaves or stems for realism.
You can also elevate the look by placing them in decorative or woven baskets. Match the size of the plant to the space to ensure it doesn’t overwhelm or feel too small.
Different plant types work better for different spaces. Here are some options for artificial plants for your home décor.
A faux fiddle leaf fig tree adds a touch of sophistication to living rooms or entryways with its broad, glossy leaves.
