Decorate your Bedroom with Plants: It's Simple

Today we want to explain how to decorate your bedroom with plants, so you can enjoy their benefits in this intimate space. Many people feel that plants should go exclusively in the garden, on the balcony, or in the living room. However, it’s important to open your mind and bring a couple of plants into the bedroom.

Precisely, we want to explain the options for decorating with this natural resource. Take note of the ideas that you like the most and develop them.

Two types of plants you should know about

Plants have incredible benefits for our health. Many of them purify the air and eliminate toxic substances due to air pollution and cigarette smoke, for example.

Equally, some species absorb oxygen from the air and release carbon dioxide. These aren’t recommended at all for the bedroom, even though the amount of carbon dioxide they release is minimal.

Taking all of this into consideration, we must be very careful when it comes to the species we choose for our bedrooms. It’s not that we think they’re dangerous, we just feel that having species that contribute to better rest is paramount.

From our list below, you’ll discover the recommended plants to decorate your bedroom with. Choose the ones you like the most; choose just one pot or several. Ready to make an incredible arrangement? Let’s get started!

• Sansevieria: another household favorite because it removes toxic agents from the air such as benzene, toluene, xylene, trichloroethylene, and formaldehyde. It’s also known as the mother-in-law’s tongue and is robust and beautiful.
• Malamadre or tape: a perennial species that are cultivated in a simple way and is quite resistant. Its leaves hang down and are quite long and luminous. Although its strength is the leaves, it also blooms white.
