Plants are the ultimate triple threat: they've got air-purifying qualities, mood-boosting powers, and the gorgeous leafy looks to ground just about any space. And when it comes to your outdoor spot, they can help define the space itself.
Whether you're setting the scene on a porch or patio, plants can create an organic, natural perimeter, balance out furniture, and add visual interest with different heights and depth. Just take the example below: One tall plant beside the door sets the tone, while smaller greens dotting down the steps add a makeshift wall of texture. Don't have steps? Utilize plant stands, a work table, deck railings, or a porch roof for hanging plants to display more leafy goodness.
