Adding lush green plants to your living room décor gives your room a breath of life and a charming ambiance. And green plants go beautifully with a white sectional. In fact, the most fashion-minded people often choose living green as their accent color in a neutral color scheme. Here’s how you can use plants to enhance your white living room space.
Choose a White Sectional
A white sectional is the central piece of this type of design theme. You might like a stark, dazzling white. Or, you might prefer a milder neutral white color such as the parchment color of the Rawcliffe Parchment Large Sectional. You can choose from among many different sectionals by looking at a store or online at a site like 1StopBedrooms. Start with this purchase and build on it with your accent of living plants.
Decide How Many Plants You Want
Once you have your sectional in place, think about how much of the remaining space you want to fill with plants. Some people want plants throughout the whole room, creating a virtual garden space in their living room. Others only want enough green plants to provide a pleasing contrast to the white furniture. Choose as many as you like or as few as two plants to achieve the effect you want.
Add Texture
Added textures can give your white living room more character. So, when you’re adding plants, consider what types of containers will hold them. A wicker basket or a macramé plant hanger could give your room a more natural look while adding a touch of warmth to your neutral décor.
Vary Plant Height
Varying heights of décor elements is a great way to balance out your room. In the case of green plants, you can choose from many different species to get a nice mix of plant heights. Country Living shows a nice example of how a small plant and a larger tree can give a room an intriguing look while adding color to a white color scheme.
Consider Plants with Flowers
Green is a very nice accent color to coordinate with white. However, you might like to bring in even more color. Flowering plants can give you small pops of vivid color to bring even more life to your room. One very popular choice among people with a white living room is to use a plant that has large green leaves and white flowers. This creates a nice effect by mirroring the white of your sectional with the white flowers among the greenery.
Fill Unused Spaces with Greenery
One nice thing about plants is that you can put them in places where you can’t put many of the home furnishings you want in your room. For example, an end table would do you little good tucked away in a corner where you can’t use it. But, when you put a plant in that corner, you liven up your space without taking up area you could be using for something more practical. You can also hang plants from the ceilings or walls.
When you combine an elegant white sectional with green, living plants, you create a space that’s beautiful, relaxing, and inviting. And with so many plants to consider, the project is both fascinating and enjoyable.
