Where to Place Artificial Plants With Pots in your Home

The verdict is out on artificial plants – they’re not just acceptable, but also the preferred choice for home décor today. It makes sense, given how anyone can make the most of that indoor-plant aesthetic without the hassles of maintaining live plants. It only helps that you can now get ultra-lifelike fake plants too!

One of the biggest advantages of opting for fake plants is that you can use them to decorate your home as you wish. No worries about corners with no sunlight, no concerns about messing up that fancy carpet in your living room or the side of your bed or your bathroom counter. Place artificial plants with pots to enhance any décor theme the way you envision it with none of those maintenance hassles that live plants come with. Here are 11 places in your home that are best-suited for your beloved fakes.

Living room centre

Artificial potted plants make for excellent centrepiece décor elements to liven up the living room and make it more interesting. Whether you’re opting for a minimalistic, modern theme, or a dreamy Boho theme, you can bank on a fake plant to be that central piece of attraction that brings all the other décor elements together.

Consider a pot of beautiful fake flower arrangements like Lavenders or Orchids for that floral flair. If flowers are not your thing, try a Cane or Eucalyptus plant instead. For a dramatic effect, consider a pot of fake Pampas Grass or even fake cactus! For something completely unique, place a pot of mixed fake succulents on your coffee table and watch it turn around your décor game.

Your living room's artificial plant decor doesn’t have to be limited to the coffee table though. You can also use your faux beauties to create a dramatic impact by grouping them together in different sized pots in the corner of your living room. Mix up a few palms with a Bird of Paradise, a couple of snake plants and Monstera, and see how they transform your living room into a relaxing, lush and inviting tropical haven.

If you’re fond of smaller, more adorable fakes instead, use them as accents on the side tables or bookshelves. Some potted artificial cacti or even an Agave Bush plant can provide just the minimalistic magic you’re after!

Front Door Entrance

What’s better than some beautiful greens welcoming you into your humble abode? Fake greens that need no care and maintenance! A nice large potted artificial tree like Fiddle Leaf Fig, Areca Palm or Ficus would be a wonderful way to lift your spirits every time you come home, wouldn’t it? You could also consider artificial topiaries in shapes of your choice – box, square, ball, double-ball, spiral, and more. For a wilder splash of green at your front door entrance, place a bunch of potted artificial bamboo along your entrance wall.

Bedside Table

Your bed is that quiet, tranquil, private zone meant for rest and relaxation, and there’s nothing like an artificial plant to stay by its side. A pot of fake pink or white Magnolias is the perfect way to adorn any bedside table and add warmth and coziness to your bedroom. White or yellow Orchids may also add that charming vibe you might be seeking. For a pop of color, consider red or blue Hydrangeas in a pot instead!

If you’re in the mood for some experimenting, explore other options like artificial potted ferns, lavenders, or even a small fake bonsai tree to add a touch of Zen to your bedroom! You could also place a small pot of trailing boxwoods, or wandering jew on the edge of your bedside table to bring in a sense of softness and serenity to your sleeping zone.

Bathroom Vanity

Bathroom décor can never be overrated, so never overlook it! In fact, adding even a few artificial plants with pots can do wonders and enhance those crucial minutes you spend in there every day. Place a pot of fake geraniums or a peace lily on your bathroom vanity to add a relaxing vibe to your everyday routine.

If you want to go overboard with your bathroom plant decor, why not convert it into a stress-busting luxury oasis with a spa-like atmosphere! Hang planters or wall-mounted pots with artificial plants like ivy and ferns to create a soothing plant wall. Create a mini indoor garden by grouping several small artificial potted plants together on a shelf, or go all-out with one massive, giant artificial tree like a banana or rubber tree in a stylish pot next to the bathtub.

Window Sill

The window sill is a great place to host a pot of artificial hanging plant to let the trailing stems cascade off the height. For a bigger effect, you could also hang your pots from the ceiling near a window and let the hanging stems sway with the breeze.

Boxwood wine, Wandering Jew, Pothos Ivy and Zebra Bush are some of the best examples of artificial plants with pots for that hanging plant effect.

Balcony

If your balcony is your chill hangout nook where you love drinking your morning coffee or spending your lazy Sunday afternoons in, it might be worth adding some décor to liven it up. Just a few pots of artificial plants would do the magic! 

Consider a bunch of fake Calatheas, Dracaenas, Cane Plants or Boston Ferns. You could also throw in a large artificial plant like a Monstera or Fiddle Leaf Fig, and hang a couple of pots of Hanging Boxwood for a wilder effect. Put up a couple of bean bags or rattan lean-back chairs with a small coffee table, and you’ll have your outdoor haven ready in no time!

Kitchen

They say, the kitchen is the heart of the home, so why not place some artificial potted plants there to add a touch of warmth and homeliness to it? A pot of beautiful artificial orchids on the counter perhaps? Or maybe a few fake succulents to adorn the kitchen window sill.
If you’re not fond of the idea of sacrificing valuable counter space, you could also hang a few pots of faux hanging plants like pothos or ivy above your sink or island, or place them on top of your cabinets to let their stems trail down for a dreamy effect.

Dining Area

Artificial plants with pots can also be the perfect addition to enhance the elegance of your dining room’s decor. A potted artificial tree like an olive tree or a fiddle leaf fig can be the much-needed statement piece that adds a focal point in the room. But if you’d rather leave the focus on the dining table instead, place small potted artificial plants like an orchid plant, hydrangeas or some mixed succulents to bring in some nature without creating too much of a dramatic effect!

Home Office

Ever since WFH became a thing, we’ve been looking for ways to improve and decorate our home office for increased productivity and reduced stress. One great way to do this is to bring in some artificial plants with pots. Place them in the corner, on desks and bookshelves, or hang them - there’s plenty of different ways to add that splash of green without the worry of maintenance!

Choose a tall, slim plant like a snake plant or a bird of paradise to place in the corner and balance the visual weight of your desk and bookshelves. For your desk, the smaller, more minimalistic potted plants like succulents, or even a baby Yucca plant might be more apt. You could also place a pot of artificial boxwood or pothos on the window sill and let the branches trail down. Whenever your eyes need a break from the screen, simply look around at all your faux greens for some instant stress busting!

Hallways and Corridors

Corridors can often feel like dull and boring parts of a home, but placing a few artificial plants in pots is one sure-fire way to brighten them up! Place tall potted plants like artificial palm trees, bamboo or ficus in the empty corners to add some height and visual interest so that these overlooked, forgotten corners start to bloom with life instead

Another awesome idea is to line your hallway with a series of smaller potted plants, or hang trailing plants from the railing or banister so your dead corridor becomes a dynamic, inviting pathway! If the corridor has architectural features such as alcoves, niches or ledges, you can also adorn them with some small artificial potted plants for a subtle touch of green.

Outdoor Spaces

Why leave out your outdoor living spaces - patios, decks, porches and pool areas when potted artificial plants can turn around their vibe too! You can place large artificial plants like topiaries and palms around outdoor seating areas to create a cozy and private atmosphere. A series of potted artificial bamboo can also create a privacy screen to protect you from those prying, nosy neighbours!

To add a whimsical and eclectic touch, consider mixing up different plant types and pot styles - a large Fiddle Leaf Fig with some snake plants, Calatheas and Dracaenas. For a minimalist look, go for giant cacti and grasses instead. And if you’re crazy about that curb appeal, a large artificial potted palm or an arrangement of bright and colourful faux flowering plants like geraniums or hydrangeas will do the job well! 

Get ultra-lifelike artificial plants with pots

Artificial potted plants can add that wild or subtle splash of green to your home, wherever you place them. They have the power to brighten up and liven up any decor and give it that facelift it may need. And the biggest advantage is that you don’t need to worry about where you place them! No need to worry about sunlight and watering, or how they’ll grow and the mess they’ll create. Artificial plants with pots will enhance your living spaces without dumping a bunch of hassles on you.

However, when it comes to artificial plants, there’s one caveat if you want to maintain that element of class and elegance - make sure your fakes look just like the real ones! Whatever the kind of fake-plant decor you go for, wherever you place your artificial potted plants, just remember the key is to go for high-quality, ultra-lifelike artificials. Otherwise, what’s the point?
