Whether you are reclaiming your home now the kids are back at school or embracing the changing seasons, we have the perfect finishing touches to your September reset.

Breathe some life into your space this month with beautiful statement greenery.  Our co-founder, Morag, explores creative ways to incorporate plants into your home to make a simple yet stunning green display.

“Houseplants are perfect for bringing texture and interest to your living room. They will really help to soften the space and maximise those chill-out vibes. This can help you to create a lovely, cosy space to relax after a long day.”

Morag says, “No matter the whether your living room  is small or sprawling, full of light or a little on the darker side, beautiful living plants  will bring a real statement to your home and have a whole host of health benefits too. This includes purifying the air and inducing feelings of calm and contentment

Keep reading for our rundown of the best living room plants for a healthy home.

There is a wealth of choice for a living room that is bathed in natural light. These options will thrive in a room that benefits from good light.

For an injection of gorgeous, fresh foliage, check out the Diffenbachia AKA Dumb Cane Plant.  This leafy green beauty boasts bright, large, two-tone leaves that will make a statement  on  your coffee table. With a choice of ceramic in both colourful and natural tones, these  complement the plant perfectly and add some  texture to your space.

Just keep your Dumb Cane Plant happy with weekly watering and plenty of natural light.

Add some stunning colour to your living room with a beautiful Begonia Beleaf. These highly patterned, colourful houseplants come in a variety of colours from silvery green to deep purple. They bring real wow factor to your room. These plant babies are well suited to the experienced plant parents among you. In addition to plenty of light, they like to be watered regularly. You can also prune them to keep them looking fresh and to encourage new growth.

Next up is the Peperomia Obtusifolia. A more compact green beauty whose shiny, green leaves can take centre stage on the edge of a mantelpiece or nestled on a side table. This guy is pretty laid back too! He only needs a drink once the soil has almost dried out.

Inject a little structural style to your living room with a distinctive Yucca. Not only does he look oh-so-cool, this miniature tree is super easy to look after. He only needs a drink every couple of weeks. He’s a fab air purifier too. All in all, he’s a top choice for greening up your living room.

A Monstera also known as a Swiss Cheese Plant is a timeless choice for bringing stylish green vibes to your living room. With his signature large, holey, heart-shaped leaves, this guy makes an eye-catching botanical statement. With a little TLC, water once a week and a well-lit spot, your monstera houseplant will grow and grow right before your eyes.

Did you know that you can still fill your living room with plants even if it’s a low-light space? There are plenty of low-light plants to choose from that will thrive in your lounge with minimal light. Let’s take a look at some of our top picks.

Morag’s go to choice for a low maintenance plant is the Snake Plant AKA Sansevieria. He brings all the botanical vibes to a low-lit space and he’s also super laid back so is perfect for any spot in your home to add some living greenery.  He’s a pro at purifying the air too!

Or for an injection of timeless elegance in your living room, Morag suggests considering a palm. The  Chamaedorea also known as a Parlour Palm, has a  gorgeous spray of long, slim foliage which brings an air of sophistication to your décor. With a choice of  our bespoke ceramics, you’re sure to find something that perfectly complements your interior style.

Moving on to another low-light favourite of ours, is the ZZ plant or  Zamioculcas, with his plethora of upright, shiny green leaves, he’s just perfect for bringing some green style to a table or shelf in a room with lower light.  This guy, also known as a ZZ Plant, is the epitome of easy-care plant style. This is thanks to his willingness to be neglected. Not only can he thrive in low light conditions, he also copes admirably without water for 2-3 weeks. Just try to remember to check in on him about once a month and give him a drink when his soil has dried out.

Another firm favourit of our co-founder is the English Ivy, it’s perfect for adding a little bit of trailing vibes to your room. Pop this deep green beauty high up on a shelf or on the edge of your mantelpiece and admire those fast-growing, cascading vines. Whilst sitting pretty he’ll also quietly purify the air. He won’t demand too much of your time either. Simply water him once his soil has dried out and enjoy the view.

Floating shelves or shelving units are a popular choice in a living room or study providing a useful spot to store your favourite books and display treasured items from travels. Incorporating a few artfully placed indoor plants onto your shelves is a great way to bring some variety and texture to your shelves and soften the view says Morag.

We’ve chosen a couple of more compact, structured botanicals that we think would work beautifully nestled among your stylish nick-nacks on a shelf.

The Sansevieria Punk AKA Fernwood Punk is a super stylish, easy-care choice with a uniquely funky, rigid foliage. Styled in a choice of our bespoke metallic-dipped or glazed ceramics, this guy might be small but he’ll certainly packs a punch on your floating shelf.

Create a fab little eye-catching display with the stunning Haworthia, a striking succulent with zebra-like stripes. This guy will happily do his thing without the need for too much attention from you. Simply give him a small amount of water every month.

Sometimes a trailing beauty is exactly what you need so why not place our best-selling trailing plant on a high shelf. The Peperomia Rotundifolia is a gorgeous trailing succulent, also known as a Jade Plant. This will nestle beautifully on a shelf thanks to his compact size.

If your living room is on the smaller side, we’ve got you. Indoor plants come in all shapes and sizes. Thanks to some clever styling solutions, it is possible to create an urban jungle even in a smaller space. Keep reading to discover our top ideas and recommendations for plants for small spaces.

When you are short on space in your living room, a great way to incorporate plants is to use the walls and ceilings. Hanging plants are visually stunning. They also provide a fab solution for displaying plants in a space-poor environment.

Choose a beautiful trailing plant such as the Satin Pothos with his variegated silvery leaves, or the Devil’s Ivy with his vibrant, heart-shaped leaves. Pop them in one of our ultra-stylish natural macramé plant hangers. For added ease, you can also purchase our Wolfram Leather Plant Hanger. This comes in a choice of leather colours to suit your scheme, to make displaying your hanging beauty a breeze.

Another brilliant space-saving option is a terrarium. The Little Botanical’s Terrariums are perfect for compact living spaces. These self-contained ecosystems offer all the lush, leafy vibes you love but take up minimal room. Whether styled on a shelf, coffee table, or windowsill, they add a modern, low-maintenance touch of green to your home. Plus, they’re ready-made and beautifully presented—making them ideal for both gifting and treating yourself.

Alternatively, you could consider incorporating a truly showstopping style option into your smaller living room. This can be achieved with our bang-on-trend, wall-mounted living walls or living art. The Plantbox Living Wall with Houseplants is a clever system that gives you a stylish and space-saving solution for bringing the outdoors in to your home. This unique system comes complete with house plants! It is so easy to put together and has an integrated watering system. That makes looking after your plants oh-so-simple.

Our Mobilane Living Art with Houseplants is another fab option for a vertical green display. The wall-mounted frame is easy to put together and the plants are included in the package. There’s even a handy indicator to let you know when they need water. Happy days!

Larger plants can make a gorgeous focal point in your living room, especially if you’ve got an empty corner that’s just crying out for some greenery. Here’s our pick of the best big living room plants to fill an empty corner.

First up is the Scindapsus, a luscious, leafy beauty that’s planted with a moss pole to allow him to climb beautifully and fill your space.

The big, bold and beautiful XL Bird of Paradise is simply stunning. His huge, paddle-shaped, vibrant green leaves are a far more appealing sight than an empty corner. They are complemented perfectly by either a rustic belly basket or an elegant grey ceramic.

Bring some zing with the XL Lemon and Lime Dracaena. This vibrant, structural beauty is a joy to behold, sure to brighten up the gloomiest of corners.

Spiky, structural and oh-so-stylish, the Dracaena, also known as a Dragon Tree is another fab choice for your living room jungle. Potted in our signature cotton and seagrass belly basket, this eye-catching guy brings all the botanical style you’ll need.

Transform a dull corner into a style statement with the epic Fiddle Leaf Fig. This statement plant with his large leaves and incredible shape will turn your dreary corner into an enviable indoor jungle.
