It is undeniable that nature heals. Which is why, incorporating indoor plants for healthier and happier living spaces is an interior design trick you NEED to try in your home. 

Fight Air Pollution:

We all know that plants help to decrease air pollution. But how did this information come into being? It all started when NASA conducted a study with plants and found out that plants can actually help clear and clean surrounding polluted air. Not just the plants, but the microorganisms living inside the soil that the plants are planted in also help with this process. Plants remove carcinogenic chemicals called formaldehyde and benzene from the air. 

So when plants are capable of doing so much with such little, why not help them help us? Planting plants in pots and keeping them indoors is a symbiotic process. While we help them grow and live, they help us by cleaning the air for us. 

Be Stressfree:

Other than keeping the air clean, plants are known to reduce stress. How? Nature is an inbuilt desire in human beings. Since we come from nature, our brain unconsciously seeks it in order to relieve stress and attain relaxation. Our sympathetic nervous system can find much comfort in the presence of nature. Even our blood pressure can be reduced when exposed to nature. So when we bring in even a little part of nature inside our house, our brain can be comforted by it and go back to its natural state. A home is where you can relax and stay away from the daily hustle and bustle. Having plants around increases the chances of staying blissful.

Being in nature increases productivity and energy. Keeping plants in your study room or home office is beneficial to your productivity. The colour green represents energy. Because we feel more comfortable in nature, the productivity and energy will naturally increase around indoor plants. 

Gorgeous Homes:

Besides having cancer killing properties, plants also have the ability to look beautiful and at times even aesthetic. Adding plants in your home can be a decor activity. Using plants to spruce up your home is a great way to mix practicality and decorations. Make your home a biophilic area by installing a green wall or a plant stand. You can explore your artistic side and make a succulent garden. Keeping little plants around your house is like having your own little cheerleaders reminding you about the beauty of life. 

Having indoor plants doesn’t just benefit your lungs and your home’s decor, it can also benefit your brain and  taste buds! Planting fruiting plants and herbs is extremely healthy and even economical. Keep the little kitchen helpers in your kitchen window for easy access to a fresh mint leaf when in need. 

Conclusion:

Indoor plants are extremely beneficial to your body; from your mental to physical to aesthetic needs. Having a little fun while decorating your home with indoor plants can impact your mood. Since plants are living things and do in fact, respond to stimuli, they can also be used as friends to have a little chat with after a long day!
