December is a great time to start making your Arrive River Oaks apartment sparkle, just in time for your holiday parties. One of the classiest and easiest ways to decorate is with plants, so read this week’s blog for ways you can spruce up your Houston, TX apartment with holiday greens this month.
Pick a color scheme.
Having a color scheme can help you figure out what plants you should get, and how many. Having an idea for what you want your apartment to look like can help the whole place come together. The options are endless: make your apartment a winter wonderland with beautiful white flowers and frosty looking succulents or channel a traditional holiday theme with red, green, and white flowers.
Poinsettias, wreaths, and garlands are easy ways to add some festivity to your place. If you want ideas for a holiday centerpiece, check out this succulent centerpiece.
Keep your pets in mind.
As you choose your plants, remember that some plants don’t sit well with pets. If you have a pet, be aware of how much they get into plants, and especially of any plants that cause adverse reactions in your pet. Check out this article for plants that are toxic to cats and this PetMD article for dangerous winter holiday plants for pets. Be sure to keep any plants you do have out of reach of your pets if you do wish to include them!
Don’t shy away from fake plants.
Buying plants and succulents can get expensive fast, so feel free to opt for fake plants this season. Not only are they inexpensive, beautiful, and pet-proof, but you can also keep them for the next few weeks or even next year’s holidays.
We hope these tips have helped you get an idea for decorating your apartment with beautiful plants. Thanks for reading. Happy holidays!
