Plants are awesome for low budget interior design — they bring life, color, and freshness without breaking the bank. Here’s how to do it smartly and stylishly:
1. Start Small
- Pick easy-care plants like pothos, snake plants, or spider plants.
- They’re low-maintenance and often cheap at nurseries or even grocery stores.
2. Use Cuttings
- Propagate plants from friends or local plant swaps.
- Free greenery = instant budget win.
3. DIY Planters
- Repurpose jars, cans, or old containers.
- Paint or decorate them for a personal touch.
4. Hang Plants
- Use inexpensive macramé hangers or DIY with rope.
- Saves floor space and adds dimension.
5. Create a Plant Corner or Shelf
- Dedicate a small space with a cluster of plants.
- Use tiered shelves or stacked crates to maximize.
6. Mix Real & Faux
- Combine real plants with high-quality faux ones for variety and low maintenance.
7. Rotate Plants Seasonally
- Swap plants in and out to keep your space feeling fresh.
8. Use Plants as Decor
- Place them on coffee tables, windowsills, or kitchen counters.
- Group smaller plants together for impact.
9. Look for Sales or Propagation Events
- Local nurseries or community groups often have budget-friendly deals.
10. Water & Care Smartly
- Proper watering and light will keep plants healthy longer — saving replacement costs.
