With a new year comes a whole wave of new trends. Along with interior design and fashion, the increasing popularity of plants means green thumbs have scored themselves a 2024 trend guide.

One such trend is nostalgia for nature, relating to the integration of the natural world in homes.

 A stampede of plant people that I never knew were there have come forward, and more people are embracing indoor plants but now with their interiors to match. Psychology tells us that greenery in the home is good for you, so people want their interiors to blend in.

 Another trend is horticulture for health — one in four people surveyed were motivated to buy plants for mindfulness and 2024 will see a rise in the use of gardening for mindfulness.

 People love nature, plants & earthy tones everywhere, bedrooms, living rooms, bathrooms … it’s all about plants.

 Always start with indoor plants, go simple and add some green cushions or a throw. I swear by cushions to transform an entire room.

 It all started with a love for nature, plants and the environment I have now decided to follow my passion in rare tropical plants.”
