Urban Jungle
Studies have shown that mental health is significantly improved when we spend at least 30 minutes a day in nature. “Forest therapy” and nature walks are incorporated into mental health plans as a way to reduce stress levels, lower blood pressure, and create peace of mind.
While we all strive to make room for outdoor activities regularly in our lives, it’s not always possible. We believe that the best thing you can do to immerse yourself in nature is to bring nature inside! Mind and soul also turn to nature when decorating your interior. Choose plants for their vibrant greens, sheer decorative shapes, and varied textures that can match different shapes and textures elsewhere in the space – wooden shelves and tables, chairs Leather sofas and armchairs, and industrial metal that has weathered over time.
Here’s how to bring nature to you, from the moment you wake up in bed…
Breathe life into corners and crevices with regular bursts of potted plant life
build layers of interest with texture and form
assembly of a group of harmonious pots and vessels to house your plants where the containers speak to your décor
Be bold with statement specimens and look-at-me leaf forms
select pots to measure 1/3, and the plant itself forming 2/3 of the overall size
Include a variety of high-maintenance and hardy plants – peace lilies look lush, are difficult to kill, and their wilting leaves prompt watering for other plants
Steal single leaves for table centers and bedside bud vases
Care for your plants – the gentle, meditative act of wiping the lush leaves of a green friend works wonders to soothe the mind and nourish the soul. Plants ask for nothing of you but reward you tenfold with lush foliage and glossy leaves when you take good care of them. There is nothing more satisfying than a new leaf forming at the top of a much-loved plant. Take your time when choosing plants, choosing shapes and forms that work for you and that you think are aesthetically pleasing to the space. Persevere and reap great rewards.
