You probably know by now how important it is to add natural elements to your home, whether it’s to spruce up the look, create a more healthy space, or increase the value of your home. Plants are one of the most important natural elements worth adding to any living space. A touch of greenery also easily adds comfort, coziness, and warmth, not to mention its role in removing toxins from the air. But what are the best ways to incorporate greenery into your home to get the most out of them? Here are three ways.
Plant some trees
According to experts, mature trees, especially in high-income neighborhoods, command an average of 10 to 15% price increase in a home’s value. Other studies have shown that mature trees can increase a property’s resale value by 20% while adding many other benefits to a home. In addition to the beauty trees provide in any home, they offer shades that can keep your home cool, especially in warm months, while protecting you from freezing winds in the winter. But before adding any tree to your property, you need to identify the ideal tree type and choose the perfect location in your home to plant it. You might also want to consider using professional tree removal services to help remove dead trees, stumps, and roots near where you want to plant your tree.
Cover bare land with a lush lawn
Another great way to incorporate greenery into your home is to cover unused, bare land with a lush lawn. A beautifully tended lawn adds new luster to your property and boosts curb appeal in the process. Additionally, the high value of lawn care can get about a 100 to 200% return on investment if you want to sell your home. In fact, various studies have shown that simple turf grass is more than enough to increase your home’s value by 15%. So, if you have a portion of your home’s exterior space left bare, you might want to consider covering it with some green grass and other smaller plants or flowers.
Take the plants indoors
Maybe you live on a higher floor in a flat, meaning you have no space to grow trees or invest in a lawn. In that case, you can consider adding plants to your interior space. There are numerous health benefits of having indoor plants in your home, including boosting your mood and helping to remove toxins from the air. Beyond that, indoor plants can also improve your home’s interior decor significantly. The most important thing is to ensure that you pick plant species that can thrive in indoor spaces, especially when there is little natural sunlight available. Most indoor plants do pretty well under bright but indirect sunlight. Some of the ideal places to place your indoor plants include the top of cabinets, next to windows and doors, on stands, on a bathroom ledge, in corner spaces, and on shelves and desks.
