25 Indoor House Plants To Buy If You Know Your Spider Plant From Your Aloe Vera
Greenery makes everything look better
Following the resurgence of maximalism a few years ago, you might have noticed more muted interior trends edging their way onto the scene.
In recent months we've seen an influx of rattan, pale woods and neutral tones making their way back onto our Instagram feeds, turning our homes into super-chilled, serene spaces that Kim Kardashian would be proud of. But even the most minimally decorated room needs a bit of interest and, in our humble opinion, house plants are the best way to add some colour and texture without going OTT.
For the bathroom? We suggest a big bouffant fern on the windowsill, while a large palm or fiddle leaf fig in the corner of the lounge will add some pizzazz to otherwise bare corners. A couple of succulents make a sweet edition to a bedside table and, of course, no shelving unit or window sill is complete without a little cactus.
To help you flex your green thumbs and spread some plant joy throughout your pad, we've rounded up 25 of our favourite house plants to love and care for in every room of your home.
Give them enough time and these pretty Bird of Paradise plants grow stunning orange flowers. As if they weren't impressive enough already!
It's a Monstera, but a little more fancy, with these beautiful split leaves.
If you're looking for something full, leafy and impactful which isn't too tricky to look after, you need an Areca palm. It doesn't need too much light either, so it's a good choice for any gloomier corners.
Less than £2 for a cactus? Yes, please. Stock up on a few of these to make a pretty window sill display for your kitchen.
Everyone's fave letterbox flower brand recently launched its first collection of house plants and we want them all, to be honest. Pop this chilli plant in your kitchen and, with care, you should be able to enjoy home-grown peppers.
These money plants always look so sweet popped on a window sill or small side table.
If you're the type to forget to water your plants often (or you've booked a holiday), this one is a good shout. It's a very low maintenance option and it looks pretty cute, too.
If you've really taken the indoor garden look to heart, then it's time to go full living wall. Get ready for some serious wow factor.
The dried flower trend is huge and bringing some fluffy pampas grass home is a cool way to invite this look into your space. Pop them next to your sofa or in the corner of the room for some added oomph.
Big space? Then you'll need some big plants. This beautiful Strelitzia comes in a cool basket that gives it an extra boho touch.
One for your home office; these purifying plants will help keep your space airy while adding some colour to your desk.
This bonsai set is great value at just over £30. Keep them next to each other on your coffee or side table to add a bit of greenery to your space.
Love the colours in this pretty house plant, appropriately named a 'fascinator', apparently. We're into it.
I have this fiddle leaf fig and I love it. It's huge and chunky and a good option for super bright spots in your living room. Just make sure to give it plenty of water.
This is a little plant but it still makes a big impact – and all for a tenner.
Erm, how cute is this? One for the gram, for sure.
Start your house plant collection off with this sweet trio.
Spider plants grow super fast so they're a good option to pop in your hanging pots. They like humidity, so keep these in your bathroom where they'll thrive the best.
Another big one here – and this one's pretty sophisticated. We're big fans of those deep green and purple leaves.
Looking for a centrepiece for your dining room table? Look no further.
