Greenery is quickly becoming one of our favorite ways to decorate our workspaces, especially since we work from home and love to bring the outside in whenever we can. And since our offices are in our own homes, we can tend to plants a lot easier than if we worked from a studio part of the time. But while fresh greenery and flowers inspired this post, we’re also feeling inspired by the ways greenery can be used to create pretty artwork or fun DIY decor, so we included a few ideas for that below too.
First, if you’re going to bring live plants into your space, try to have a vision for the size, shape, and style you want. I find the easiest way to find the right plants for my space is to find the vessel first, and go to the local nursery or garden shop with them and ask for help picking out the perfect plant for each. Every time I buy plants without having a vessel first, I somehow can never seem to find the right size and have to settle for something generic. So this is an easy way to go about adding greenery and achieving the perfect look to match your workspace.

I have a few plants that have stuck with me for quite awhile, which is honestly a blessing because I’m horrible with plants, even when I have firm instructions on how to care for them! So if you’re looking for a way to add greenery without *really* adding greenery, I wanted to have a few options for you too.
