Houseplants can change the feel of an entire room. Not only do they create a natural focal point, but they also help improve the air quality and bring a little bit of nature into your home.
Plus, a variety of plants are available — some that are low maintenance and others that require more experience — but all of which are beneficial and nourishing presences for your apartment home. And, with the rise of Pinterest- and Instagram-ready setups, many people use houseplants and pots to express themselves and add an extra element to the aesthetic of a room.
Containers, pots, and vessels for plants have been around for thousands of years. They have become a well-loved art form and many times they are the focal point in garden rooms, patios, and windowsills. Adding a plant to your home is the easiest way to surround yourself with a little bit of Mother Nature, but as much as your plants need tender loving care, so do your containers! The good news is we have some amazing DIY information to help you create planters you’ll love and give you an outlet to create your own lovely plant containers for your apartment home.
