Tips
Here are five awesome tips to help you integrate fake plants into your home decor.
Choose realistic plants
There’s no point in having fake plants if they look fake. Faux plants can cheapen your home if you don’t purchase the right ones. Realistic plants may be on the pricey side, but they are worth it because they last forever.
Clean them regularly
Dust will settle on your faux plants. Clean them once or twice a month to ensure they stay beautiful and realistic.
Dress them up with nice plant pots
Plant pots can truly make your faux plants look more elegant. At Bloomr, we have an awesome selection of plant pots to complement your luxury silk plants.
Consider where to place the plants
Find the perfect spot for your plants. Have an empty corner in your home? Add a large palm to fill the space. Missing something on your bathroom counter? Add a gorgeous fern. The placement of your plants can make a difference in the look and feel of your space.
Mix it up
You don’t have to have either fake plants or real plants. Add a mix of real flowers and plants with your fake flowers and plants.
