Go Green: Adding Plants to Your Home Decor

The mesmerizing hues of green that stretch across the Southwest Florida landscape are a large part of our tropical charm. It is recommended that you have a plant in your home for many reasons, even if you do not have a green thumb. Not only can houseplants be eye-catching and add beauty to your space, but incorporating them into your décor is also known to improve your well-being.

Studies have shown that a touch of green can not only create a calming ambiance but also induce happier moods. With the many indoor pollutants that can affect your home’s air quality, houseplants are ideal for helping to purify the air and absorb any harmful contaminants.
