Our first tip to elevate any room is to add plants. Indoor plants enhance the appearance of the room, bring it to life and increases moods. Add them as statement pieces in your room, like this FEJKA Artificial Potted Indoor & Outdoor Plant from Ikea, or on small décor shelves. The bright green pop will nicely contrast against neutral colours in a minimalist design.

If you are not used to taking care of plants, you can either opt for some realistic looking fake plants. If you want real plants, but haven’t ever had them before, download the PlantSome app to track your plants lives, and when they need water and food. A simple and easy way to add some life into your space!
