There is something so relaxing about houseplants!

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.
1. The first step is to select the right plan
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.
2. The plants need to be replanted.
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 is essential to consider that good design makes a space more useful in a multitude of ways, makes wants and needs predictable and easy to meet, and allows the space to flow harmoniously. Ergonomics plays a fundamental role in how a space is designed, you never want to be stuck with something that is too rigid.
The power of space is fascinating. It can influence your mood and evoke your emotions. A well-designed space can make you feel happy, relaxed, calm, and contemplative.
An Interior design can be original, emotional, and exciting. It can follow fashion trends or create them. An Interior design can be created to last for centuries or to be temporary. A space that echoes your personality helps you to feel better both mentally and physically, and gives you a sense of belonging.

​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.
