The majority of people soon become bored of looking at the same furniture, decorations, picture frames, ornaments and the way they are presented in a room. As the phrase goes “A change is as good as a rest”. Changing the furniture may not always be possible for financial reasons however you can change the layout of the room, perhaps moving the television to a different position as well as the sofa and coffee table. This can have a positive impact as you warm to the new feel of the room. As well as doing this you could also change what you are hanging on your walls as again to look at the same photos, pictures and picture frames day in, and day out, which can soon become mundane.
And to truly go for it we could go for a completely new and alternative feature to frame. Instead of simply swapping one photo in the picture frame for another, or swapping one print for another, we could go for a whole new look and one which is quite rare, and that is by framing plants.
The reasons why people choose to frame plants
Quick question – How many people do you know that have framed plants hung on the walls of their houses? I would imagine that most of the people who read this blog post will have answered with zero. And this is what makes it all the more fun, as being different could also be considered brave; brave to show your true character rather than simply following the crowd.
As mentioned in this blog post titled “The Benefits of Picture Framing Nature” there are many benefits of bringing nature from the outside to the inside. Having this additional greenery and different colours of plants hung on your walls in frames can really help people to become inspired, to have increased self-esteem, be in a better mood, and to feel a lot calmer. This is the beauty of nature in general and is one of the reasons people tend to feel way better after going for a long walk in their local park or woodland than before they started.
To look after plants is hardly strenuous, difficult or time-consuming but in today’s fast-paced life, even this simple task can soon be forgotten or ignored with the result being a plant which is wilted, diseased or even dead. With preserved plants, there is no maintenance required which means no such problems will occur. They can make lovely wall decor; wall decor which can give off fragrances of your choice, such as lavender. In reality, the majority of preserved plants will likely have lost their scent by the time they get to be hung on your wall, however, if it is a scent that you are after these are the types of plants to go for: gardenia, viburnum, peony, eucalyptus, salvia, and tuberose.
Probably the main reason people choose to frame plants is simply to have something different hanging on their walls than the typical photos, prints and pictures. The benefits of bringing nature into the home and the beautiful scents are pure bonuses.
