Decorate your home with plants and invite the green to clean and add outdoorsy charm to your indoors.

Plants are wondrous creatures, especially for our homes, after all, they remove indoor air pollutants and they smell nice. A spider plant can make all the difference in the world, insomuch that it will save a blasé room from itself without offending the outspoken minimalist.

An herb garden in the kitchen and azalea in the bedroom are also exemplary of ways we’re incorporating mother nature into the great indoors – but both merely hints of the plant decorating madness that follows.
