Create a natural screen Mix plant stands and hanging planters to create a wall of greenery. Use as an alternative to artwork to decorate a whole wall, or place in front of a window to blur the line between outdoors and in.

Fill surprising spaces Use potted plants to bring empty spaces to life with colour and texture. Miriam keeps a plant inside her KVISTBRO storage table, with colourful leaves that tie in with the rug underneath.

Reinvent your storage Try transforming everyday storage into a plant display unit. Miriam placed miniature cacti and succulents in the pockets of a hanging shoe organiser to create this hanging garden.

Create a contained display Look around your home for anything that could be used to hold plants. Placing a plant inside an unused candle holder or lantern is an easy way to transform a single pot plant into a display.

Miriam shares her house with more than 150 tropical plant varieties. ‘I live in my own small jungle; it’s how I connect with nature.’ Click below to take a tour of her home and find her top tips for keeping plants healthy.
