Plants definitely add a little something extra to your home. Whether you add a potted plant to a corner, hang flowers from above, or opt for an entire indoor garden, they really bring everything together. There are so many fresh and colorful options to choose from, so here are some of our absolute favorites for any space!

Sansevieria Laurentii Snake Plant

This gorgeous plant is low-maintenance! According to Home Depot’s care guide, you only have to water it every two to six weeks, depending on your home’s temperature. The unique shape of the leaves resembles a snake and the striped pattern is a cool point of interest (especially in a more neutral room).
