How to Use Artificial Plants Indoors

Our realistic-looking, very well-made artificial plants, flowers, and indoor greenery are a great way to accent your favorite spaces. Because they’re manmade works of wonder. So there’s no worry about care. No need for watering. Natural light isn’t needed. You don’t have to think about their survival while you’re out of town on vacation.

Looks real, right? That’s why faux is fun.

It’s a pop of green the easy way.

Because faux plants make any space feel like an extension of the outdoor world, they bring a sense of peace indoors. Place your faux plants wherever you want them, even in windowless, sunless rooms, and enjoy the soothing harmony of leaves and flowers.

You can do all this:

• Vary your plants anytime. Because artificial plants can be stored when not in use, it’s simple to swap out styles and species for a new look whenever you want.
• Have a tree in the house! Trees offer both space-filling height and extra presence. In terms of creating atmosphere, they’re as calming as they are dramatic.
• Add a botanical design to accent any surface. For consoles and tables, think in terms of shapes. Like sculptural leaves, rounded fullness, or lacy, airy leafiness. Approach your plant use artfully.
• Define the mood of any room or space. Because different greenery species can define a room.

Choose the perfect faux plants: our top picks.
