"If you're decorating with the popular paludarium, you might want to add some potted plants as well. This will add movement to the landscape and create a richer space."
So says interior stylist Masato Kawai. He says that metal plant shelves with a coated surface are ideal in terms of lighting, ventilation, weight-bearing capacity, and ease of maintenance.
"This time, we used neutral colors for the shelves so that the colors of the plants themselves would stand out. To avoid an inorganic feel, we incorporated natural materials such as wooden pots, which blend naturally into the everyday space. LED lighting, which is essential for indoor cultivation, can be used by replacing the bulbs in your regular designer lighting to make it blend in with the interior. If the plants have a unique appearance, you can create a well-balanced look by adding accents such as brightly colored accessories, books, or pop objects."
