A lovely decorated living space gives the feeling of a real home. All those personal touches are what give your home its personality and make it uniquely yours. Unfortunately, today we tend to look for abstract and lifeless decorations. We overlook decorating with living plants because caring for them is an additional responsibility and they can take up space that we don’t have.

Another great thing is that they can be made from recycled materials, so they are green in more ways than one.
