One of the easiest and most budget friendly way to add a touch of character to your living space is to add a plant or a mini garden in different places in your home or office.

You can select from a wide range of plants, based on your budget and how much spare time you can afford to give. Start small and choose a low-maintenance plant that will thrive indoors. Money plants are perfect for the Indian climate and can be grown easily indoors as long as you keep it near a window or make sure it gets a weekly dose of sunlight. You only have to water it once a week and it will grow in soil as well as in water.

From there, once you get a sense of your capabilities, you can progress to more challenging projects. There are a wide variety of indoor plants that will clean up your air of harmful toxins and provide healthy oxygen. Place a small planter in your bathroom, taking care to select a pot that will match the decor of your porcelain.

Walls can be decorated with hanging pots and planters. Your office desk can be adorned with a paperweight that has a tiny mini plant. For a slighter larger option, a pen holder with a green foliage is a perfect accessory. Refrigerators offer a nice space for a few fridge magnets with mini plants that require minimal care but does wonders for your space.

East facing balconies or windows are perfect spaces for kitchen gardens or plants that require an abundance of sunlight.

A few large plants in the corner of the living room can do wonders to lift up the ambiance of the space. As always, pay attention to the material, texture, size, shape and color combinations of the pots for best effect.

Regardless of how large or small your space is, there is a plant for every situation. So what are you waiting for? Green up your living spaces now.
