Whether you renting or owning, I’m going to teach you how to transform your blank-space into a paradise where plants should center-stage as your decor lead and house garden.
Why should you Jungle-ify your House Garden?
Always keep plants in your house garden as they will provide life and serenity A jungle look & feel add warmth and depth, rendering the are more organic and natural. Try these simple ways to brighten up even the most plant-filled living room in your houseplant garden.
Benefits of Decorating with Plants:
Brings outdoors inside: Plants bridge indoor and outdoor areas and make you feel outdoors even when you are indoors.
Perfect for renters: If you are a renter and cannot change walls or add permanent decor, plants fill in as a moveable solution.
Creates natural calm: It’s relaxed in a jungle-style living room.
Step 1: Start with a Blank Canvas
Strip Jungle-fy the Living Room First, clear it all out The bare room provides an easier viewpoint on plant placement. I obsess over simplistic decor with warm wood accents and greenery.
Balance asymmetrical rooms with plants Different plant sizes and heights mixed together will make your room look dynamic & creative.
Step 2: Know Your Plants for Your House Garden
One of the ways to overcome is through key statement plants so that just a few plants would be enough for you to start feeling like in a real jungle.
Statement Plants to Consider:
Devil’s Ivy (Pothos): A fast-growing vinegreat looking hanging or cascading.
Monstera deliciosa Lastly we have the Monstera Deliciosa with its bold and large split leaves that scream tropical.
Rubber Plant: Has a glossy leaves which can add height and texture.
Ornamental Snake Plant: Ideal for low-light corners and very durable.
Larger plants can draw the eye, while smaller plants such as succulents or trailing vines tie everything together.
Tip: Placement of light plants. Take for example Devil’s Ivy, which does best in bright, indirect light and is perfect near west windows.
Step 3: Layer Your Plants for Depth in Your House Garden
Create dimension by playing with different heights and levels of plants: from floor-standing to hanging, including tabletop greenery.
Plant stands: Place smaller plants on stands for added height.
Hang them from the ceiling: The use of hanging baskets or macramé planters brings greenery to eye level and upwards; it fills awkward corners without using floor space.
Step 4: Add Natural Elements to Your House Garden
Add some natural textures like wood, stone or macrame to make the jungle vibe pop.
There are plenty of wood accents on the neutrals (think tan and beige) range that pair really well with greens from the plant family.
Macrame: An ideal choice for hanging varieties such as String of Hearts or English Ivy for a boho feel.
Renters Tip: Use Blu-tack or removable hooks to hang lightweight macramé without hurting the walls.
Step 5: Focus on Key Areas
Find a way to direct attention with plants in your room.
Corner Behind the sofa: Keep big plants such as a Calathea Trio Star in vase behind your sofa, it makes you have an intimate reading place.
Plants can help round out the harsh edges of a TV, making your space feel less like a factory!
Fireplace (if not in use): Put a low-light plant inside to make it a feature. Plants around the area of working fireplaces to tie them in visually
Step 6: Experiment with Howse Garden Placement
There is no right or wrong to placing plants-experiment! Sometimes you need to adjust a few times until you find what looks best to you.
For example, I tested out the pallet box plant stand and three or four times moved it around before deciding. It is part of the fun-adjust as you go!

Step 7: Keep Plant Health in Mind
Have fun with your jungle-inspired living room, and take care of those plants!
Light: Choose plants based on the degree of light your space receives. While Snake Plants handle low light, Monstera enjoys indirect bright light.
2. Humidity: In winter, the air is generally very dry indoors — especially when heat is added to homes and recirculated through powerful HVAC systems Use a small humidifier or mist your tropical beauties like Calathea a little every once in awhile to keep them happy and healthy.
Watering: Ensure the plants are waters well, especially those difficult to reach in tight spaces or behind furniture.
Final Thoughts: Go Green!
One of the most beautiful features of a jungle-style living room is its natural look. Its not about being perfect, its about placing,textures, and how your space evolves.
Now, are you ready to start your indoor jungle? If you start small and add to your plant collection as time goes on, soon your home will be a tranquil oasis of green!
