Final Decision
I finally decided to go with floral-themed pots because I love nature and I felt that floral designed pots will bring a natural touch to the mood of the hall. There were lots of options available online and I ordered a few.
Once I placed them around the room, instantly the vibe of the room changed. The hall looked brighter, warmer, and so much more inviting. The entire space seemed alive.
What shocked me the most was how a small change could have such a big effect. A brilliant sunflower design, delicate rose patterns, or simple leaf motifs may all make indoor plants look fresh and new. It feels like you’re in a garden even when. The colors and patterns make the plants’ greens stand out, which is a nice mix of art and nature.
Final Thoughts
