Stylish placement of plants
Indoor plants not only bring freshness and naturalness to our homes, but with the right placement, they can also provide an aesthetic experience. Bookshelves offer a great opportunity to organize plants, while saving space and enhancing the atmosphere of the apartment.
In spacious, bright rooms, an open shelving system provides the perfect opportunity to display green plants in a spectacular way. In a smaller apartment, a taller bookshelf placed against the wall helps to optimize the space without creating a feeling of clutter. By combining pots of different sizes and hanging plants, we can create an exciting, living decoration.
