The only thing that makes a room feel more alive and lived in is a happy, healthy plant on the window sill. You gain a real sense of accomplishment as you watch your plants grow and thrive. While, On the other hand, watching your plants slowly wither away and die is disappointing and heartbreaking.

Here are 4 tips I have found during my personal experience of keeping plants alive in my home.

There are many beautiful plants you will want to take home with you when you visit the nursery. Unfortunately, the more exotic plants are not as easy to care for. The best advice I can give is to ask any of the nursery assistants whether the plant you wish to take home will survive in the area you plan to place it. They should be able to direct you to the more robust plants you can choose from. I’ve found that any type of succulent is usually a winner.

The plants should be replanted in a larger pot with more potting soil. Make sure you purchase a larger pot and potting soil while you are at the nursery. The small pots the plants come in will not provide enough room for your plant to grow. That's why I always replant them once I get home. In addition to their small size, the original containers aren't very appealing to the eye.

 In order for us to understand Why Interior Design Matters, we should first understand that Interior design is the fine art of creating beautiful and functional spaces. It is a language that allows us to create environments that reflect our lives and lifestyles, and reminds us that beauty is a constant.

​It's not just about a stunning space. It's about who you are and how you live. Each room in your home should reflect your personality and enhance your quality of life. The space around us shapes us just as we shape it, and that's why Interior Design Matters.

​When looking at colours and using colours, you should forget to think about what should be right. How a space feels goes beyond how it looks. If the result is beautiful then nothing else matters.

​Colour can be used to change the whole mood of a space. It is not a trivial element when it comes to design. It can be utilized boldly or subtly and even portray a sense of elegance. Everything you see, you see it in colour. 

​Colour is an inescapable fact, bold, neutral or even working in only white, as white has tints of other colours and reflects the other colours. 

Just think about nature, there we see balance and harmony occurring naturally. Like the dark dark forest floor, medium brown tree trunks, the green hues of tree leaves and the light blue colour of the skies above us.
