Staging and styling artificial plants around your home
Place fake plants where their real counterparts would go
One of the biggest tells is when a plant obviously doesn’t belong in a room. For instance, a natural orchid won’t survive a week in direct sunlight - so don’t place your artificial orchid there.
Consider where the natural version of your fake plant would like to live and put your artificial plant there to help it blend into your surroundings.
For outdoor artificial plants, think about the amount of shade your space receives. When sat in the shade, plants that naturally thrive in sunlight will stick out like a sore thumb to experienced gardeners. Similarly, naturally shade-loving artificial outdoor trees will look out of place in full sun, so if you really want to convince your guests, take this into account when choosing faux plants.
Look for higher-quality faux plants
Decorating with artificial plants is becoming easier. Manufacturing techniques are forever improving and faux plants are more realistic than ever before.
Look at the close-up pictures on our website to check leaf detail, stem quality and whether flower colours look natural, and make sure to read the product descriptions to see if the petals and foliage are made from silk, plastic or a combination of the two. We try to include as much detail as we can in both our photos and descriptions for each product, so they're well worth a read!
Finally, make sure you check what other customers are saying about the product. They may have different expectations to you, but they'll give you a feel for the quality of each product. If in doubt, you can always get in touch with our friendly customer service team to ask more about a product.
