Plants As Part Of Home Decor
Many people have conflicting opinions about incorporating plants as part of home decor. The misleading belief that plants kept especially in the bedroom could be harmful to health is anything but true. Indeed, indoor plants can have several health benefits.
Above all, it is important to ensure that the number of plants in the home is controlled, in other words, the home does not need to be completely filled with different plants. And while a single plant is usually recommended for the bedroom, this doesn’t mean that keeping the plants inside the home would be detrimental to health.
So why do some people believe that keeping plants at home is dangerous? This belief is based on the ability of plants to breathe, especially during the night, when they also produce carbon dioxide in the air. However, the controlled number of plants at home offers a considerable number of health benefits compared to its side effects.
Plants give new vitality to the atmosphere of the home
Plants as part of home decor help both purify the air and create a whole new vitality to the overall look of the home. Plants absorb pollutants and pollutants generated during the day from the air we again breathe. In addition to purifying the air, plants help to increase the moisture content of the air.
In addition to the benefits mentioned above, plants can help cool your home’s air on hot summer days and warm your home on cold winter days. And here are just a few interesting reasons why you should increase the number of plants in your home decor!
Plants help improve concentration
Plants can help us both study and work better. This argument is based on the fact that plants are able to reduce noise both indoors and outdoors. These changes can be noticed especially in small and enclosed spaces.
Thus, a controlled number of plants at home can help isolate excess noise, greatly improving our ability to concentrate, especially when we work or study from home.
In other words, keeping plants at home can contribute to a positive spiral, where improved concentration leads to a calmer and more relaxed state, allowing us to also work as efficiently as possible, while avoiding the accumulation of extra and unnecessary stress.
Plants reduce the amount of dust
Each of us has most certainly been amazed at some point in life how quickly dust can accumulate around our homes. For one reason or another, dust accumulates in our homes far too quickly, in which case, unfortunately, the amount of many activities we hate, ie cleaning, must also be increased.
The most frustrating thing about the constant cleaning is that the very next day the dust seems to have taken over the whole house again. However, few know that plants can help reduce these less beloved cleanings. And then how does this work in practice?
As mentioned earlier, plants help to reduce the amount of pollutants in the air, which can also reduce dusting by up to 20 percent compared to normal. So if you are allergic to dust, try increasing the number of plants in your home!
Plants can strengthen self-esteem
You probably couldn’t have guessed that plants as part of home decor can boost your self-esteem? This is related to the visual aesthetics enhanced by the plants, allowing us to also feel and experience the atmosphere of our home in a much more pleasant and cozy way. Believe it or not, a cozy home lifts the mood, which also has a positive effect on direct self-esteem.
A plant like a plant needs care. Although plants offer us a number of health benefits, we must remember to water them regularly, replant them if necessary, and defend them against insect damage – in other words, where plants take care of our well-being, in return we must also take care of their well-being.
Keeping plants at home can therefore act as a therapy in its own way, as we are able to literally follow the process of plant growth from seed to a wonderful part of the interior of our home. At the same time, taking care of plants in our own way is also taking care of ourselves.
Caring for all plants doesn’t always require a lot of effort, and even if you don’t have much extra time to care for and maintain demanding plants, you can safely get easy-care plants for your home that are even more easy to care for. So hectic life is not an obstacle to the inclusion of plants as part of home decor!
The plant is a living and breathing organism. So feel free to seek expert advice, especially when purchasing your first plant, as withering the plant can discourage anyone. As you watch the plant grow and blossom, you may at the same time feel the vitality of your home and mind begin to rise noisy!
