I see the problem, I can still see the floor! You also have a lot of empty wall space on the left side, you DEFINITELY NEED more plants. Hope this helps!

It looks amazing 👏🏻
If it was my house I would probably remove the hanging plant.
Or maybe I would put small hanging plant like 2 or 3.. as in yours, the hanging plant looks too big, maybe you could try putting three or two small plant hanging. And the shelf I think it looks good. 👍

It’s spectacular… But you could add a large floor friend right in that corner…

I personally like a Jungle of unruly plants > a lot of tidy plants. Get more plants!

I love the idea of a plant wall, but maybe if you move stuff around, you could add books or like shelf-objects and make it look more full! Maybe it’s the fact that you can still see a lot of the wall?

It’s missing more plants. There is too much space between them 🤣😂

It’s nearly perfect but needs more light.

This is totally just personal preference! To my eye, I think I would add other things in there, fewer plants. I love plants just as much as everybody else but this set up looks too repetitive to my eyeballs. I tend to have plants placed all over the house versus in one area, but some people simply cannot have them placed all over the house due to lighting, etc. This is a beautiful set up it is really just about what you like to look at every day. 💕🪴I remember when I first started loving plants my dad came over and said “too much”. I was offended because I didn’t ask for his opinion! But please don’t be offended by opinion, it is just that.

Prolly need some saucers to catch drainage if u want the shelves to keep lookin nice.

i think the only offputting thing about it is that its a shelf instead of a small table or something. its too low to be a shelf

you need a comfy chair to sit in your greenery. Also, floor plants. More hanging plants. Move the curtains and frame your window with big plants, maybe.

Feels like it’s missing decor and personal touches! Without them it just feels generic and plain like a students’ horticulture display. Someone mentioned books and a rug, those are great ideas if they fit your style! At least a little clutter to break up the spacing in-between the plants and maybe on the floor so you can’t see the carpet where it touches the walls

I’ll tell you what’s off. Not enough plants !!
Looks great, though. You have so much room for potential.

I want to do lights like this with mine! This room was a pantry but we turned it into my office when we bought the house, I screamed in total excitement the second I saw the shelves with a huge south facing window 😂
They’re really beautiful but it feels a bit like a shop and not a home maybe..🤔

More plants. Vining plants. Color. Height variety
ThriftyLizardArtist on
It’s unbalanced because you are missing two shelves on the left. In this image I drew with white where the new shelves should go so that the corner is more symmetrical! You either add more plants to the two new shelves, or can re-distribute and space out the current plants so it feels equal.
I feel like there should be more hanging and some decor.
And I agree with the other suggestions of a floor plant or two

Looks sterile 😬

It’s a bit, I don’t know. Like a lab? It’s all kind of cold? Could you paint the wall behind them a warmer colour than white maybe?

I like a jungle of quirky pots. If you have any potter friends, ask if you can buy (or have) any cracked or not-quite great pots from them.
Or… raid their shard pile and mosaic your own. 😉

To me it feels almost like a shelf at a store. Maybe rearrange some room for some books? Or framed pictures or Legos or whatever you like to decorate your house with. I have a few German Shepherd figures hiding behind some pots, and some dinosaurs strewn about randomly on my shelves.

Maybe stagger the plants more by varying height and add some other items, like framed art, vases, statues etc
ColoradoMonkeyPaw on
It feels sterile because everything is in a similar pot and evenly spaced. Nature isn’t that rigid, it’s chaotic and that is what makes it beautiful. I would venture to guess that in your personal life, letting go of control is likely hard for you. I encourage you to get some plants in long rectangular planters and do not space them. Put them in helter skelter with no symmetry. Let them sit awkwardly and weirdly.

I once had a psychologist tell me that (some) people have a problem with plants. It was a chat about who in the world would want a plastic plant. The psych told me that real plants grow and spread and don’t stay where they were put. They drop leaves, grow in the direction they want, etc. and for some people, that is too much commotion.
I do believe your plant collection is an attempt to being order to the chaos. :0)
I would like an update in six months when you live in a jungle!!!

This looks phenomenal. I think it would look really sharp if you painted the wall behind the plants black
Infamous_Clock9596 on
I think for an effective plant wall you want a good variety of heights shapes and colours. I also like to try and have things overlapping to hide the wall behind too
My plant wall as an example. I like crawling philodendrons on shelves cause they’re great space fillers without getting too tall for the shelves
MarieO49 on
I think your plant shelves are fabulous. If you want a fuller look without buying more plants, you could alternate the short and tall plants on each shelf (take your little pots on the bottom and mix them in). Another look I personally like would be to add more vining plants on the top 3 shelves (between your other plants). The vines draping down will create a nice contrast between the tall plants and give a more tropical oasis vibe.

Curtain and hanging plant should go. Add some big indoor bananas in front of of the window instead
KonstantinVeliki on
I would add nice wind chime or sun chatter in the corner and some African violets on the window to have more color in the room.

It’s all new plants. They are standing there like soldiers in a row. This is not natural looking. It’s sterile and very unnatural looking.
If you wait 6 months and don’t kill them, they will grow into a natural-looking wall.

Maybe it just me but you are top heavy. All your big plants on top all your small plants on the bottom.

I feel the same. My house is full of less mature plants. I balance it with big ones but it does look more nursery than natural jungle vibes which is my current ick

I think it’s beautiful and as the plants grow in, you will have so much more organic flow of vines and shapes. I think it just needs time

From here, where do you transition? Rooms like this, or in my case just areas, are my intensive care area and then when I’ve figured them out, and they are thriving again, I move them to their next spot. Maybe it’s that. It’s a transitional space not the long term home.

Planters. I see a lot of nursery pots. Choose a color scheme but don’t go too neutral
