Add Light And Style To Your Houseplants With A Simple Budget-Friendly Upgrade

Your plants could easily be the only home decor you need if you care for them properly and curate your collection. If you predominately lean on your leafy friends to provide color, texture, and design within your space, there's a clever upgrade that will elevate your stems and even bring in more light to your rooms with very little time, effort, or money. Think of it this way: If balling on a budget was a career, this simple trick would be your platform. By adding small gems, baubles, ornaments, charms, and hanging jewels to your plants, you can give them even more substance without taking away from their natural contribution. 

Houseplants can be beneficial to your health, but visual clutter may be overstimulating for some, so this trend may initially sound counterproductive: After all, your plants already offer a way to enhance your home without the need for lots of small decor. While this DIY will add to your overall assemblage of items, they are so small that they shouldn't create visual clutter if dispersed properly. In fact, if you opt to use clear jewels and prism or faceted ornaments, you will help pull natural light through your leaves and into the room, potentially making it feel brighter and more open with the light refractions. Think of it as another way to decorate your home with plants.

Decorating with indoor plants can be as immersive or simple as you want, and this DIY is the same. You can add gems and hangings in a variety of ways. Thrifting earrings and broaches from antique and second-hand stores is one method. You can attach the brooches to ribbon or string to hang them, and seek out dangling earrings that you can simply hook over stems. Something with a large reflective surface would be ideal, such as the Nupuyai Stone Dangle Drop Earrings, available on Amazon. Avoid using anything too heavy, as you don't want to damage your plants. There are embellishments but they shouldn't disrupt the natural progress and growth of your leafy pals. If your watering process tends to get most of the plant wet, make sure to remove your decor so it doesn't rust or wear and detract from the style you're trying to imbue.

The great part of introducing this kind of hanging decor to your flora and fauna outside of pulling natural light through is that you can swap out jewels, gems, and ornaments to add a seasonal touch during different holidays. Either choose a color scheme and use small hangings that reflect the holidays that way, or find shapes and designs that notate the season. The set of Mini Christmas Tree Ornaments from Kinfavou are a great option for the festive period. This will help to elevate your other decorations, and small details like this will make your space feel fuller, cozier, and more curated!
