TikTok Shows You How To Turn Your Houseplant Into A Statement Piece

Adding houseplants to your home is an excellent way to add the kind of contrast and natural vibrancy that you just can't achieve with man-made materials. No matter what your intentions were when you brought indoor plants into your house, they will become a focal point. If you're ready to embrace your houseplants for the natural art pieces they are, TikTok has the perfect hack for you: LED spotlights.

Mini-spotlights — the same type used to display paintings and other art pieces — are considered accent lighting and are used to draw the eye to a particular design element. Even if you feel that your home's ambient lighting is bright enough to illuminate everything you could possibly want to showcase, adding spotlighting to your plants can make a major difference in how they're presented within the space. If you're ready to give your houseplants the dramatic presentation they deserve, this is the TikTok hack for you. 

Upping the drama level of your houseplants' appearance is simple. First, obtain an LED mini-spotlight for each plant you'd like to transform into a statement piece. At the time of this writing, you can purchase a six-pack of remote-controlled mini-spotlights with 13 color options by Hortsun for $37.99 on Amazon. Once you've received your lights, the setup is simple. Just place your spotlight inside the planter at the base of each houseplant.  

Turn the spotlight on and adjust its angle until it perfectly illuminates the houseplant, creating the ideal dramatic effect. If your spotlight features multiple color options, experiment with different colors until you find the one that produces the exact aesthetic you desire for your plant and the room in which it resides. If you love the effect spotlights have on your houseplants, you can use them in the same way to highlight paintings, collector's items, gallery walls, and any other prized possessions in your home.
