Indoor plants have to be cohesive with your home’s interior design to complement its surroundings. Yet, they may not thrive in every room. Matching the plants with the right parts of your house can help your indoor garden burst with life. Check out the best plants for different spaces in your home to watch every plant thrive long-term.

1. Monstera in Your Bedroom

If you’ve fallen in love with wide, leafy prints on your clothes and decor, the leaves likely resemble the monstera plant. It has a trendy shape and a gorgeous shade of green that will look perfect in any bedroom.

Monstera plants work well with nearly every interior design scheme, so it’s very versatile. The plant is also famous for growing around two feet per year, so give it plenty of space to reach up and out of its pot.

2. Ferns in Your Bathroom

Bathrooms fluctuate between retaining warmth after a shower and becoming cold in the winter. The air’s humidity also changes every time you turn the water on. Ferns can handle all of that with ease. They’re hardy and need just a few hours of light per day, so hang one from your ceiling or place it on a shelf to add some greenery to your bathroom.

3. Hibiscus Flowers in Your Sunroom

Many people want beautiful flowers in their homes. If that’s what you’re daydreaming about, consider nurturing some hibiscus flowers. They come in a vast array of colors, which might provide the pop of character your home needs. Think about growing hibiscus flowers in your sunroom to give them the light they need every day.

After placing your potted hibiscus flowers in the perfect sunny spot, remember what kind of maintenance they will require. Since hibiscus plants put out flowers, you’ll need to clean up any old blossoms and leaves. This will encourage more consistent and beautiful blooms.

4. Peperomia in Your Guest Room

Bold and waxy peperomia foliage makes it perfect for any guest room. People with different aesthetic preferences love this plant because it’s a dark-green foundational design element. Water yours once a week and keep it in indirect sunlight on a dresser or shelf to ensure its best chance of survival.

5. Aloe in Your Nursery

If you’re designing your future child’s nursery, you’ll likely want soothing motifs and colors woven into the room. While comparing paint swatches and fabric samples, don’t forget that a baby’s nursery is a perfect place for plants like aloe vera.

Aloe plants contain a healing gel that soothes any irritation. Although your baby may not need that kind of help until they start exploring, the sight of an aloe plant is calming. It’s the exact design element nurseries need to create a relaxing and welcoming vibe. Place yours in direct sunlight and watch it grow alongside your infant.

6. Herbs in Your Kitchen

Growing plants in your kitchen may seem like common sense. You already have vegetables and fruits in your fridge, so why not add a few potted plants?

Indoor gardening enthusiasts often find it easiest to grow herbs by a kitchen window rather than flowers or foliage. Herbs like mint, rosemary, and chives don’t require much room, so they’ll fit perfectly on your windowsill or counter space.

7. Gasteria in Your Office

Gasteria is a type of succulent that’s excellent for home office spaces. It doesn’t need much soil or room to expand its root system, whether it grows on your desk, bookshelf, or a hanging planter. Gasteria is also one of the many succulent plants that purify the air around them by taking in impurities and expelling oxygen.

8. Air Plants in Your Dining Room

Anyone who wants to grow a few indoor plants but doubts their gardening experience can start their greenery collection by adopting air plants. They can sit on any surface because they don’t need pots or dirt.

Spray them with a light watery mist every few days and they’ll remain as beautiful and colorful as the day you bought them. Position them in darkened dining rooms or as centerpieces on your table to create greenery arrangements that would be more challenging with traditional plants.

These are some of the best indoor plants for different rooms in your home, so you have many options to choose from. You might like dark shades of green foliage or opt for colorful flowers. Either way, you’ll find endless indoor gardening success by placing these plants in these rooms because the environments will cater to every plant’s needs.
