Personally, we’ve styled it in a maroon ceramic pot that complements both the plant and the decor of our rustic reading room

How to choose the best indoor plant for your bedroom?
Here are the top 5 things to consider:
Prioritize Low-Light Tolerant Plants:
Bedrooms often have limited light. Consider the snake plant (Sansevieria), which boasts thick waxy leaves and can grow upright and flourish in dim corners. Another plant that comes to mind is ZZ plant that is also low light and low maintenance. The key is to leave anxiety out of your room, so don’t bring plants in that cause you anxiety on whether or not you’ve cared for them 🙂
Choose Plants That Improve Air Quality:
Select plants known for their ability to cleanse the air of toxins and emit oxygen, even at night when you’re asleep. The peace lily (Spathiphyllum) is ideal with its glossy, dark green leaves and white, hood-like flowers. It even adds a subtle soothing fragrance to your bedroom. So much of your uninterrupted sleep is dependent on air quality, and ensuring you have plants in you bedroom that meet highest air quality standards seems wise.
Consider Aromatic Plants for a Natural Aroma:
Aromatic plants can naturally enhance your bedroom with soothing scents. Sight, and smell are all extremely essential sensory stimulation to aid quality sleep. Lavender (Lavandula) is renowned for its relaxing properties. Its silvery-green foliage and purple spikes of flowers provide a calming aroma that is perfect for reducing stress and improving sleep
Select Plants with a Structured Appearance for Visual Calm:
Cast iron plant (Aspidistra elatior) is ideal for bringing a sense of visual order and calm to your bedroom. As we said before, sight is just as important. This plant’s ability to thrive in low light and its low maintenance needs make it a perfect bedroom companion.
Incorporate Colorful Foliage to Enhance Visual Interest:
Observe the natural light in your home. Note which areas get bright light and which stay in the shade most of the day. For low-light spots, plants like snake plants and ZZ plants are ideal. In brighter areas, consider orchids or spider plants. in the table below we talk about where we have placed our plants, and also provide advice on where is the ideal location for each plant. We got you 🙂
Step by step guide: how to build a Relaxing Green Corner in your bedroom
Here are the top 5 things to consider:
Assess Your Space:
Evaluate your bedroom for suitable plant locations considering light, space availability, and furniture arrangement. Best spots for plants in the bedrooms are: windowsills, bedside tables, or unused corners. You can build shelves by the windows as well and arrange plants, and also, if you ask us for the best recommendation, use hanging planters in the bedrooms 🙂 something about it, just feels right to wake up to! (Refer our list of trailing indoor plants for more info)
Select Plants for Natural Humidity Control:
Choose plants that naturally regulate humidity levels. Boston ferns are excellent for adding moisture to the air, similarly, peace lilies increase humidity through their natural transpiration process. These plants can help maintain a more balanced and comfortable atmosphere which are very conducive to good sleep.
Select Varied Containers:
Mix and match pots to add character to your bedroom. Ceramic pots provide a classic look, and modern plastic pots offer practicality with lightweight durability. Incorporating boho planters can add a relaxed, artistic vibe to your space. Whatever you choose, each container has adequate drainage to promote plant health.
Arrange Your Plants Thoughtfully:
Place taller plants in corners or behind furniture to create a natural backdrop — they also are easiest to get more sunlight. Smaller plants can adorn window sills or nightstands, bringing nature closer to your resting area. Hanging planters can be used for vines like English ivy, which cascades gracefully, adding depth and interest. We are not about crowding plants, though its normalized. Each one needs space and deserves visual interest on its own 🙂
Incorporate Sensory Elements:
Adding elements like a small fountain or soft, plant-themed lighting near your plants dramatically elevates the feeling you get from having plants around you. These additions complement the natural look and can amplify the calming effect of your bedroom’s green space.
