Following the large increase in home renovating and decor revamping, many people have also adopted a new title as “plant parent.” While living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, outside spaces, and more are being filled with these amazing and luscious flowers, greenery, and succulents, some of these plant designs go beyond the ordinary and evolve into creative works of art. Your friends here at Ah Sam, the premier florist and greenhouse in San Mateo and Silicon Valley, are exploring many creative ideas and design elements to think about as you begin viewing not-so-ordinary houseplants as art for your home.
How to Create Art from Houseplants

Simplicity Enlarged
Some of the most beautiful succulent gardens are often overlooked or underappreciated due to their size. Bringing home a larger dish garden or plantscape can create a grand statement piece for your home. With over two feet of elegance to marvel over and admire, this certainly cannot be mistaken for anything other than a piece of art.

Plants that Work Together
As with any art form, finding the perfect pairings of houseplants lets them work in tandem to create levels, complement colors, and add artistic dimension inside a single container. Selecting plants like tall purple orchids to grow next to green and purple succulents ensures your eye is met with wonder and brilliance on every level.
Example of Hanging Houseplants
The “Gallery Wall”
After you bring home your new plants, no matter what they are, finding the perfect location to display them is also a part of creating artwork with houseplants. Like any art gallery, where paintings are perfectly positioned on each wall in a way that enhances one another, your home is now a blank canvas ready to be adorned with greens, blooming plants, and even handmade pots or hanging baskets. Arrange your plants so they work together to create one large, magnificent work of art.

Creative Containers
Sometimes we fall in love with a unique vase, creative vessel, or handmade pot before we even know what kind of plant we want to bring home. The main focal point for this artwork now lies in the very container holding your plant. Whether you have a cluster of bright clay pots neatly arranged on a shelf or a single elegant statement piece waiting to greet visitors as they arrive at your home, we love it all.

Monochromatic Greens
When we think of turning houseplants into art, many times our minds begin thinking of unique plant colors, interesting patterns on leaves, or eye-catching shapes of petals. However, as the modern monochromatic trend has taught us, less can always be more. A smooth metallic pot filled with lush and luxurious greens of all sorts can be the perfect piece of art to complement your living room, bedroom, or even bathroom or even give as a gift.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and filling your home with fresh, vibrant plants to create a more lively and welcoming home can be done any way your heart desires. Let the green and flowering plants here at Ah Sam inspire you and spark some creativity.
