If you own any houseplants, you’ve probably situated them in the obvious spaces — perhaps you tucked a few on your windowsill or bookshelf. But if your plant collection has grown considerably over the last year — which is the case for many — you may be wondering where you’re going to stick that new pothos or snake plant. To help you incorporate plant life into every inch of your home, we asked four interior plant designers for the unusual places they like to add some greens. A quick note before we dive in: All plants need some level of natural light. If any of the mentioned rooms don’t have a window in your space, make sure to pop in a grow light to set your plants up for success.

In a Hallway

Hallways can be notoriously tricky for plants, as they don’t typically offer much natural light. That being said, a little creativity can go a long way here. Danae Horst, founder and owner of L.A.-based plant styling studio Folia Collective and author of Houseplants for All, says this is a case where she’d grab an item such as Modern Sprout’s “Growframe,” a metal frame with built-in LEDs that supplies natural white light to your plants. “I think that would be a really fun way to add a plant to a hallway in a gallery wall setting,” she says. “And then you could have a plant in there and it could have light, even if it’s an interior hallway with no skylight.” Alternatively, Anthony Watts, founder and owner of New York-based design company Layer, recommends focusing on giving the plants height and volume when you introduce them to pass-through spaces like this. Grab a large planter, or add in a plant stand or small table. If placed on the floor, he suggests the living decor be at least 16 inches tall and equally wide. It should feel substantial, he says, or the plant could seem like an afterthought.
