Kitchen Greenery

When you think of spring, words like green and nature come to mind. In addition to having beautiful green plants outdoors, you can bring some of that beauty into your home.

Many homeowners spend a lot of time in their kitchen preparing food. You can easily liven up your kitchen decor by adding plants. Whether you have a bountiful garden to inspire your kitchen decor, or you’re planning on investing in new plants, here are some simple ways to bring a spring-inspired plant aesthetic into your home’s kitchen.

Utilize fresh herb bundles

If you’ve seen a dish with fresh greens, you understand how bright herbs can make their immediate environment. Since you likely eat herbs anyway, you can simultaneously make your kitchen look more appealing by adding various herb bundles.

One simple way is to pick fresh bundles from your garden. If you have bushes of herbs like oregano or cilantro, the pruning process helps them grow while giving you beautiful edible bouquets for your kitchen. All you have to do is bring the bunch indoors after cutting it, clean it off, and pat it dry. If you’re not confident in your pruning skills, hire a professional to prune herbs for you to use in your kitchen design.

From there, add them to a mason jar or glass jug of water to preserve them between uses. Homeowners who don’t have an herb garden can buy their herb bundles from their local grocery store. Be sure to properly clean the herbs you purchase at the grocery store following the same process as freshly cut herbs.

Hang some dried plants

Dried plants have a myriad of positive impacts on you and your home. The aromatic benefits of a lavender plant can help create a calm, more peaceful environment. Dried eucalyptus plants also improve your respiratory health.

You can optimize the benefits of plants like these by drying them. Start with an arrangement of your favorite flowers or plants. You’ll want to make sure you’re starting with plants in premium condition. After removing stems and unnecessary foliage, tie them together in small bunches.

Hang them upside-down and allow them to dry for two weeks. Then, hang them up around your kitchen to enhance its aroma and design.

Consider a succulent garden

When it comes to indoor gardens, succulents are growing in popularity. Although they don’t take up much space, they come in various sizes and colors that can perk up your kitchen’s natural vibe.

If your kitchen doesn't have a lot of sunlight, you can also add greenery that thrives in low light, like snake plants. You can ask a nursery employee to help you choose plants that best suit your home.
