Create unusual displays Find new and interesting places to display collections of plants and turn indoor growing into living art. Kyra created a vertical display of small pot plants on an old stepladder at her home in Australia. ‘Having lots of plants on display helps us feel connected to what’s going on outside,’ says Kyra. Try framing a window with house plants to blur the lines between outdoor and in.

Add plants for privacy Use large, straight-growing plants to create a subtle, natural screen that separates different parts of your home. ‘We came to realise open-plan living was about creating little areas,’ says Kyra. She used plants to soften the monochrome room divider that separates the living and sleeping areas. Try mixing different shades of green and contrasting pots to create a layered, jungle look.
