Having plants in the home is nothing new. However, there has been a resurgence of interest in seeing how plants and flowers can be incorporated into home decor. One of the many reasons why people have an interest in interior greenery is our natural attraction to the energy it creates. It could also be due to the fact that it's eco-friendly, echoing our desire to enhance our harmony with nature, or it could be because of Pantone's infamous color of the year; Greenery. Whatever the case, there is a difference between a room with flowers and a room without flowers. Plants emit an organic energy that gives life to the space in which it resides. Natural foliage brings brightness, visual intrigue, and can purify the air. No wonder people are paying attention to plants in an age where health and nature are increasingly being valued.

1. Neutral Palette with Color
For a neutral colored bathroom, choose a vibrant flower to brighten up the color palette. Neutrals work great when pops of colors are introduced. Without this contrast, there's a risk of the room looking dull and ordinary. Bathrooms tend to be strictly pragmatic, so a flower vase gives the room some comfort and beauty. Also, pair textured flowers with simple shapes and patterns like an arabesque lantern-shaped tile. The tile has an organic shape that won't steal attention from other parts of the room while still looking fantastic. For a clean and neutral look, you don't want textures to clash so the flowers can be the main textural focus.
2. A Unique Silhouette for Your Kitchen Island
Black and white kitchens are a hot trend happening right now including white subway tiles as kitchen backsplashes. Marble is also having its moment right now, so a matching flower vase for a marble counter-top is perfect. To create focus, have a lush green plant with a visually interesting shape. This creates an area of interest and brings the room together.

3. Creating Multiple Visual Textures
Easily bring attention to a mundane bathroom by having multiple shapes and texture as part of the overall décor. The honed hexagon tile as the bathroom backsplash with the intentional unfinished look instantly creates visual interest. The textured plant creates another visual interest without competing for attention due to its reasonable size and to the soft blue vase that stands out just enough from the neutral warm colors in everything else.

4. White and Blue Hues for the Kitchen
To get the homey with a country feel, pair light blue accents with white cabinets and a white marble counter-top. The soft tear drop shaped backsplash ties well with the soft silhouette of the green foliage because it's all connected with round and organic shapes. Use a wider and round vase for the plant to create variations of different round shapes.
