Love houseplants? Consider adding a living wall – a wall full of plants! Here are a ton of living wall ideas for your home!
Houseplants are a beautiful and popular way to decorate. They add texture and a natural feel to your home.
Plus, they bring in the trending green color.
One way to be dramatic with your houseplants is to install a living wall.
What is a living wall?
A living wall is a wall covered with living plants. It could be 100% covered, or be more heavily decorated with plants hanging or mounted on the wall.
Why hang a living wall?
Living walls are a great way for plant lovers to display a lot of plants. If you have a wall that gets great light – this is a great way to squeeze in loads of plants.
Houseplants can also act as air purifiers, cleansing the air as well as looking beautiful!
