Making a statement with indoor plants

 

If you want to make a fashion statement in your home, indoor plants are a great way to do it, sassing up old or tired bathrooms and kitchens without going to the huge expense of a renovation.

And they’re a fashion statement that can turn heads when selling your home.

Indoor plants are in vogue once more, especially among first-time millennial buyers, so it’s worth considering how a little bit of greenery can lift your home.

These are some of our top tips: 


Social climbers

Climbers are great in the bathroom. Pop one in a hanging basket but keep its growth in check. Don’t let its suckers latch on to the wall, or you’ll have to touch up the paintwork when you remove it. There’s no shortage of choices for a hanging basket. English ivy and the ocean spider plant are popular.


Aloe there

A low-maintenance succulent, Aloe vera thrives if you leave it on a windowsill in the sun. It doesn’t dominate but adds a lovely splash of colour.


Blooming beautiful

The anthurium is much-loved for its waxy, heart-shaped red flowers. It loves sunlight and a humid atmosphere, which also makes this a perfect bathroom choice.


Peace, man

The peace lily is arguably the most prevalent of all indoor plants and will brighten any part of your home. It loves the sun but it does get thirsty, so water it regularly. 


Luscious leaves

The thick green leaves of the aglaonema, or Chinese Evergreen Plant, make this a showstopper. It thrives in humid areas, so anywhere in the bathroom or near the kitchen sink is ideal. In direct sunlight or shade, it will love you back.

Ben and the team did an amazing job selling our house. They know the market so well and gave us the best advice throughout the whole process. We have used them before and so glad we choose to use them again. Highly recommended.

Alex Hewton – Malins

This is the second time we have sold with Ben and both times the result has been outstanding. On a personal level we click and its clear he actually cares about both the sellers and the buyers he is working with. The result we achieved and the sheer quantity of offers received in a dead market shows what an outstanding salesman and marketer Ben (and is his team) is.

Ben worked exceptionally hard on our behalf to get the sale over the line. Ours was not straightforward by any means, and Ben navigated through the many twists and turns to ensure a very satisfactory outcome for us. We highly recommend Ben. 🙂
