Rojas mentioned that when styling home interiors, plants are a nice design element to add depth and character. This was evident in how she designed the interiors of the Amoa model units.
Plants were strategically placed in empty corners that needed sprucing up. She also noted that layering heights and playing around with textures reduces significant eye strain, based on recent studies.
Plants were also used as visual barriers for privacy and concealing exposed wires, pipes, and unsightly power outlets.
“Plants have a way of putting things together, attracting attention so that the clutter would just seem like white noise”, she said.
Another tip Rojas shared is that plants are great conversation starters. It contributes to relationship-building especially in our current situation where virtual meet-ups and zoom parties are the norm.
To end the episode, Rojas took the viewers on a short session of styling an entry table. Truly, creativity knows no boundaries when it comes to greeneries. As she said, not only is it a trend, but having plants is a healthy lifestyle choice.
