Naturally, when one says plant, one envisions green. Plants are, indeed, perfect for adding a few green notes to your interior. But many plants are also unmatched accessories for adding other hues to your decoration.
Choosing the right colors
To highlight your interior decoration and your good taste, it is important to carefully choose your colorful indoor plant. It’s crucial to select the perfect plant – or plants – based on the desired effect and your decor.
You might naturally seek a natural look that provides a high-end effect with simple tones like balcony, ecru, ivory, or beige. A simple green plant will stand out, especially if its leaves are a deep green.
However, if you want to stand out or if your walls display less classic tones, you will need to innovate by using less basic colors.
For a lovely harmony, you can opt for a plant bearing colors in the same hue as the room’s dominant color. Have you chosen pink or red? A Philodendron Pink Princess will complete the decor with style. Its large variegated pink and green leaves will be most effective.
The Caladium is also an ideal option to enhance a room with warm tones, with its lovely pink leaves bordered by delicate green.
You can also play with contrasts for a very current offbeat decoration. To do this, install a Croton with yellow foliage that will create a very elegant visual shock against a red wall.
Even though red is the most common color among the most used indoor plants, it is also possible to find other rarer and thus more original hues.
You can, therefore, opt for a plant with white foliage like the Monstera. Its snow-white hue will work wonders in a designer interior. Another available hue: purple. The purple heart (or Tradescantia Pallida) presents a deep shade that will work wonders with a pink or blue wall.
Finally, for a totally unique touch of originality, why not select a blue plant? Very contemporary, the Pilosocereus azureus is a cactus with a stunning blue color that will undoubtedly be a standout feature in your room.
Colorful flowers?
Foliage is not the only part of a plant that can be colorful. You can therefore find other shades by opting for flowering plants. Indeed, it’s not only outdoor plants that have colorful flowers.
You can add sophistication with a beautiful orchid. Several shades are available depending on the type of orchid chosen, from blazing yellow to deep blue, from deep violet to intense red. To highlight your plant, focus on chromatic contrasts.
For a softer and more romantic ambiance, the delicate flowers of the oriental lily in pink shades will work wonders in a rustic bedroom.
And if you hesitate between colorful flower and foliage, one plant will help you choose. The Calathea Crocata features purple leaves and yellow flowers. It will be perfect in a simple decor to add color and cheerfulness.
These flowering plants are easy to care for and will be an unrivaled decorative accessory.
Whether you’re into Italian design or more rustic styles, you can enhance your space with the colorful touch it lacks simply by purchasing one – or more – plants with colorful foliage or flowers. And since they are generally tropical plants, their maintenance remains simple, provided you clean the leaves well to not obscure their lovely shade.
