Indoor Plant Design Ideas
Every year brings new design trends, so let’s focus on indoor plant design ideas for 2023. We are still months away from the new year, but planning is the best way you can keep your space feeling fresh.
Indoor Plant Design Ideas
According to Amy Youngblood Interiors, “The theme of incorporating nature in interior elements will continue. We will see colors inspired by nature, like softer greens and blues that are calming and pleasing to the eye. Sustainability will continue to grow in importance.”
Jennifer Walter, the owner and principal designer for Folding Chair Design Co, tells us she’s most excited by monochrome in 2023. “We love the look of a deep, moody room in all the same color like deep green or purple painted or wallpapered walls in the same color as the shades, furnishings, and fabrics—so modern and cool.” Just imagine green indoor plants in an office with monochrome walls.
When it comes to aesthetics, Youngblood predicts a return to the Roaring 20s. “More decorative trends, such as art deco, are making a comeback,” she tells us. “We anticipate seeing lots of fun powder baths and gathering areas inspired by the influence of art deco.”
“People are moving away from the ultra-minimalist, everything grey look, and desire color, and energy,” Youngblood says.
The Top 2023 Indoor Plant Design Ideas
The Low-Light Trend: Alocasia Black Velvet
“The velvet black leaves are stunning—and indicative that this no-fuss plant doesn’t need much light.” — Erin Marino. Editorial Director at The Sill.
Alocasia plants are happiest in medium to bright indirect light. Keep these indoor plants away from harsh direct sun and even low light. Count on The Plant Escape, your plant maintenance provider, to know that they need fresh water every one to two weeks, allowing the potting mix to dry out halfway down between waterings.
The Living Artwork Trend: Bird Of Paradise Tree
“Houseplants are quickly becoming a permanent staple in interior design. Coming in at six feet or taller, oversized plants better fit the proportions of high ceilings, and thanks to their size, they stand alone as living artwork.” — Bloomscape gardening expert Lindsay Pangborn
Birds of Paradise prefer bright light (both directly and indirectly) but thrive best in a sunny spot.
The Dramatic Foliage Trend: Stromanthe Triostar
For low-light areas of the office, The Plant Escape suggests the variegated and dark foliage of Stromnthe Triostar plants. “Try placing a dramatically dark plant against a clean white wall, or pair your bright foliage with its complementary color to really help it pop.” — Bloomscape gardening expert Lindsay Pangborn
The Sophisticated Hybrid Trend: Philodendron Imperial Red
“Another trending pick due to its striking foliage and generally easy-going nature. Imperial Red starts out bright red before transitioning to deep burgundy followed by dark green as they mature.” — Erin Marino. Editorial Director at The Sill
