Why Should I Style Hanging Plants In My Home?

Perfect For Small Spaces

Hanging up an indoor garden is a great way of styling plants if you are short on floor space. Bringing a calm green oasis into more compact areas such as home offices or smaller living areas means you can hone your interior designer skills and add a splash of greenery at eye level.

Pet Friendly

As many more of us are becoming proud pet parents, styling your greenery above the ground means there won’t be any issues with puppies or new kittens taking a mini lunch from your houseplants! Styling hanging indoor plants off accessible areas such as furniture surfaces and floors means your fur babies can be safer.

Mental Health

Whether you are relaxing at the end of a hard day, if you are enjoying a hot steamy bath or even working away in your home office, hanging plants are number one for adding a touch of calm, peace, and serenity to your environment. Hanging plants are also an affordable way to bring a sense of serenity and beauty to your environment.

A recent study published in the Journal of Physiological Anthropology found that indoor plants of all kinds including hanging plants, styled in your home or office can make you feel more comfortable, soothed, and natural.

Air Quality

Styling plants in your home which include hanging plants off the floor, can also improve overall air quality by filtering out pollutants. A stylish, minimal hanging plant, such as a The Tillandsia Velutina can boost your health simply through the aesthetics of greenery.

Healing & Wellbeing

A 2002 review of the scientific research discovered that people recuperating from several kinds of surgery needed less pain medication and had shorter hospital stays than people who weren’t looking at greenery during their recovery periods.

Ok so now we’ve discovered the best reasons to design and style your home with some houseplant decor, let’s find out some of the best ways to create a hanging plant style statement.

Hanging a plant hook using a drywall anchor and a ceiling hook is the most secure and the safest way, especially if you plan to hang a heavy planter. If you can find a stud/joist in your ceiling that's even better.

Here's a few simple steps to hang your planter:

• Drill a small pilot hole into the drywall with a drill bit slightly smaller than the size of the drywall anchor being used
• Press the drywall anchor into the pilot hole and then hammer the rest of the way in
