Picture this. You’re browsing through the Rogue range and mentally placing your favourite faux plants around your home in the spots they’d look best. A tall, grand potted plant in the lounge corner for some much-needed greenery; maybe a beautiful floral arrangement on the dining table to give mealtimes an extra homely touch. It looks cosy and inviting already – but did you know there are so many more ways to decorate with artificial plants outside the mainstream?
The best part of faux plants is their low maintenance – meaning they can fit nearly everywhere in the home without need for water or sunlight, giving often-overlooked spots a much-needed boost. Here’s a few looks we’ve been loving recently, making those work-from-home days feel like a garden retreat.
Fill in the Blanks
The first room your guests enter is the best place for a grand centrepiece bouquet. But smaller stems and arrangements like the charming green/burgundy Phalaenopsis in Glass Vase lend instant character to empty shelves, mantelpieces, buffets, and any nook or cranny that may be overlooked when you decorate with artificial plants. Liven up a drab corner of your lounge or bedroom with a dramatic faux tree like our grand Saguaro Cactus or Eucalyptus Silver Dollar Tree; especially ideal for smaller apartments where the lounge is your bedroom. Why not enhance them further with classic-style planters like the Milan Glazed Look Planter Set?
Cooking in Style
Let the versatility of faux plants be a game-changer in decorating your kitchen. Make use of unused counter space to create an inviting corner to share snacks and drinks; we recommend the Grand Phalaenopsis Orchid Stem, creating an elegant trailing effect across the counter when placed in a tall vase. Alternatively, brighten the forlorn space behind your sink with a vibrant floral arrangement like the Dancing Orchids in the Rachel Vase, best chosen in a colour that contrasts with your kitchen cabinets.
Your Own Secret Garden
Not all of us have the luxury of our own gardens or verandas, especially in urban or apartment living, and that’s where faux flowers and plants come to the rescue. If you have an alcove or internal windowsill but haven’t a green thumb, fill the void with a larger potted plant like our Faux Olive Tree, or a smaller hanging plant like the beautiful Hanging Pearls in Tub Pot for some romantic flair. For shaded balconies that face the sun, look no further than our UV-treated Sisal Plant.
