Home Gardening Ideas Indoor Plants: 7 Designs You’ll Want to Copy

Ready for a little plant-fueled home makeover? I’ve rounded up seven complete room designs that blend interiors and greenery so well you’ll swear your space is breathing. Think lush textures, smart containers, and mood-boosting palettes—all centered around indoor plants that feel like part of the furniture.

Let’s tour each look. Picture-perfect, practical, and totally doable.

1. Urban Jungle Living Room With Layered Canopy

This is the living room that whispers, “Stay a while.” Start with a neutral base—soft linen sofa in warm oat, walnut coffee table, and a natural jute rug. Then add a layered canopy of plants for instant depth.

Go tall with a fiddle leaf fig or rubber plant beside the sofa, then cascade pothos and philodendron from floating shelves. A matte-black floor lamp and brass accents keep things chic, not wild.

Color palette: Oat, olive, charcoal, and brass
Containers: Terracotta, matte black ceramics, woven baskets
Textures: Bouclé throw, chunky knit pillows, rattan planter stands

Finish with a low-profile bench under the window topped with a tray of succulents and a sculptural monstera as the star moment. It’s lush but edited—like a botanical lounge.

2. Serene Spa Bathroom With Floating Greens

Medium shot, Serene Spa Bathroom With Floating Greens: crisp white fixtures and a pale gray microcement wall backdrop; slim floating shelf above the vanity holding trailing ivy and string of pearls; a stool by the tub with a fern or peace lily, glass canister of bath salts, and a candle; narrow ladder shelf with rolled towels and two small snake plants; brushed nickel hardware, ribbed glass bottles, stone soap dish, minimal line art; round backlit mirror casting a soft glow that reflects on glossy leaves; color palette white, mist gray, eucalyptus green; clean lines, airy spa mood, shot from a slight corner angle to include vanity, mirror, and shelf.

Turn your bathroom into a quiet sanctuary with calming greens and clean lines. Keep fixtures crisp white, and add a pale gray microcement wall for spa vibes. Soft linen shower curtain, teak bath mat, and brushed nickel hardware set the tone.

Install a slim floating shelf above the vanity and style it with trailing ivy and string of pearls. Tuck a fern or peace lily on a stool beside the tub with a glass canister of bath salts and a candle.

Color palette: White, mist gray, eucalyptus green
Plants that thrive in humidity: Boston fern, orchid, ZZ plant, asparagus fern
Accents: Ribbed glass bottles, stone soap dish, minimal line art

A narrow ladder shelf holds rolled towels and a pair of small snake plants. Add a round backlit mirror for a soft glow that bounces off glossy leaves. It feels fresh, airy, and blissfully calm.

3. Sunlit Breakfast Nook With Citrus and Herbs

Medium-wide shot, Sunlit Breakfast Nook With Citrus and Herbs: buttery off-white walls, round bistro table with white pedestal base and oak top, two spindle-back chairs with pale sage seat cushions; window ledge lined with mismatched terracotta herb pots (basil, rosemary, mint, thyme); nearby clay planter with a dwarf calamondin orange or Meyer lemon; rattan pendant with warm Edison bulb overhead; wall-mounted rail holding hanging herb planters and copper scissors; table styled with a striped runner, simple ceramic pitcher, and wooden fruit bowl; cream, sage, terracotta, sunny yellow palette; bright morning light streaming in, shot straight-on to capture the window and table.

This nook is all sunshine and Saturday mornings. Paint the walls a buttery off-white and anchor the corner with a cozy round bistro table—white pedestal base, oak top. Add two spindle-back chairs with seat cushions in pale sage.

Line the window ledge with herb pots: basil, rosemary, mint, and thyme in mismatched terracotta. Place a dwarf calamondin orange or meyer lemon in a clay planter nearby for a citrusy glow.

For a cozy, dramatic escape, paint the walls a deep inky blue or moss green. Add a low-slung velvet sofa in forest or tobacco, and flank it with a vintage brass floor lamp. A Persian-style rug in rich reds grounds the space.

Now, bring in sculptural plants: a bird of paradise reaching toward the ceiling, a zz plant for sleek lines, and a pedestal-mounted alocasia as a living art piece. Built-in bookcases get pops of green with small pilea and peperomia.

Clean, calm, and productivity-forward. Choose a streamlined white or pale wood desk with slender legs. Pair with a comfortable task chair in pebble gray and a thin framed pinboard above.

Color palette: White, birch, graphite, soft green
