Do you remember back when I was approached to work with Anthropologie on the one room three ways? That post was so much fun, so I was super pumped when they approached me again to give them my take on an indoor hanging garden. Since Anthropologie is at the forefront of trend forecasting and always has the best selection of…well everything, I took thier word for it when they told me that indoor hanging gardens are the next big thing! Good thing the selection of garden and outdoor products was filled with cool items to help me get the look. Anthro does the whole ‘bringing nature indoors’ thing so well, so I couldn’t wait to take a stab at it myself. I decided to use the hanging plants as a type of art replacement. So instead of filling a wall with a bunch of art and photography, swap out a few pieces for some hanging greenery. I swear rooms with plants have such a happier vibe. Placing décor mixed in with the greens that has a more defined shape or edge creates a nice contrast to the soft, organic forms of the plants.
Check out what I did to transform this boring old console and lame white wall into a CUTE little vignette and on trend indoor hanging garden!
