Are you looking for an inexpensive way to decorate your home? If so, consider using succulents. They will add a brighter look, dimension and life to any room in your home.

Indoor Ideas

Potted succulents make a great centerpiece for dining, coffee, or end tables. You can use a few small pots with a couple different varieties, or you can create one large centerpiece using a larger pot with a wide selection of plants. For this type of décor, succulents are perfect the perfect live plant to choose because they are low-lying enough not to block the line of vision across a table.

Another fun idea is to make a terrarium by taking decorative, clear glass containers and planting succulents in them. This is a great and easy way to bring an outdoor look into your home. Live plants usually go well with any kind of décor, and can make any room feel more complete.

Hanging succulents from the ceiling is a decorative alternative to overhead light fixtures. First, you’ll want to find pots that fit inside the openings of a pot rack. Next, plant succulents in these pots, arrange them how you’d like in the rack, and hang them from your ceiling. This is also a great way to liven up a sunroom.

Outdoor Ideas

To add some color to the outside of your home, place potted succulents along your porch, door, or walkway. You’ll want to choose plants based on the colors of your home, and use succulents in shades that either complement or match the outside of your home as well.

Take small pots with single succulents and alternate them with candles or light along your walkway. Placing the succulents out during the day will add some color, while the lights will brighten up the space at night.

Succulents also work very well when placed in between stepping stones or along walkways. It is important to pick a variety that can stand your local climate.

With their distinctive range of shapes, colors and textures, succulents are a great, low cost alternative to decorating your home. Their visual appeal is certain to brighten up any room.
