Once installed in your light and airy spot, be sure to keep this big guy away from direct sunlight. Give him water once a week and spritz him regularly to keep those humidity levels high.

For a larger kitchen, a big Calathea in our signature cotton and seagrass belly basket is a top pick. His striking leaf design is ideal for brightening up a kitchen. He also loves humidity so he’ll be very happy in a kitchen environment.

Pop him in a spot that benefits from indirect light, give him a drink every 7 to 10 days and be sure to dust those gorgeous leaves to keep him in tip top condition.

Our fireplaces can feel a bit redundant in the summertime, when we’ve no need to have the fire roaring to keep us warm. Avoid a sad and lonely-looking fireplace during the warmer months by accessorising with some gorgeous greenery. The big Peace Lily is the perfect summer styling choice for a homely hearth. Do remember to move him away from the heat once you need to light the fire again though, as he won’t enjoy the extreme heat right next to the flames. With their gorgeous white blooms contrasting against the vibrant greenery, a peace lily makes a stunningly chic addition to your interior.

This guy will enjoy a bright spot away from direct sunlight and keep his soil moist but not soggy with a drink no more than once a week. For a full rundown on how to keep your Peace Lily thriving, take a look at our useful care guide.

Boasting an abundance of small, glossy green leaves, the large Ficus Benjamina, also known as a Weeping Fig, makes a stunning focal point in a living room in need of a little living greenery. He will brighten up a dull corner or complement your coffee table perfectly, a fabulous choice to bring the outdoors in.

And for an added bonus he’s wonderfully low maintenance too. Simply water him once a week when the top layer of soil is dry and place him in a well-lit spot away from direct sunlight.

Please note though, if you have asthma, a latex allergy or a furry friend or two, this guy is best avoided.

The Best Indoor Plants for Smaller Spaces

The great thing about house plants is that they come in all different shapes and sizes. You don’t need to have a sprawling, spacious home in order to incorporate botanicals into your interior décor.

There are many different house plants that love the hot and humid environment of a bathroom. The good news is that, even if your bathroom is on the smaller side, there are plenty of options to give your bathroom a botanical vibe.

Inject a fresh and vibrant feel to your bathroom with a Peperomia Rotundifolia. A gorgeous, little trailing plant that thrives on moisture, it will be oh-so-happy in your bathroom, bringing all the botanical gorgeousness whilst enjoying the natural humidity.

Here at TLB, there aren’t many (if any!) rooms that we think don’t benefit from a little green makeover. And one part of the home where we think plants make a particularly welcoming statement is in the hallway. How lovely it is to return home after a busy day and be welcomed by a little indoor jungle greening up your hallway. Here are some houseplant inspiration ideas for the entrance to your home.

A Pilea Peperomioides works particularly well for brightening up this area. Also known as the Chinese Money Plant, he isn’t so big that he’ll take over yet he is big enough to catch your eye. Plant styling perfection!

Looking after this gorgeous gang won’t keep you awake at night either. Pop them in a bright spot and water them sparingly; just once every 2 to 3 weeks! The only exception is the Peperomia Rotundifolia who will need a little more attention. Give this guy water once every 7 to 10 days to keep him happy.
