“Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” – Carl Jung

Outdoor space is not a finite resource. For many renters and urban homeowners, growing a traditional garden isn’t an option at all.

If you fancy yourself the owner of a green thumb or want to try your hand at growing herbs and vegetables, indoor gardening is the next best thing. All you need are a few containers, potting soil, and some plants.

Of course, indoor gardens can be both functional and beautiful. Check out these indoor garden ideas to learn how to incorporate your favorite plants into your existing home decor.

Wall-mounted shelves are a must if you want to save floor space and cover up the bare walls in your home. You can use regular floating shelves or get special ones designed for indoor gardening.

Use plant stands to add style to your houseplants. Stands are available in all different sizes and design styles, so you can easily match the rest of your home’s decor. For hanging plant ideas, look for baskets made with interesting materials or some that feature geometric shapes.

2. Indoor Garden Hanging Planter Ideas

Not only do hanging baskets save space, but they are also the best way to show off viney or draping species like golden pothos, Boston ferns, and spider plants. Excluding hanging plants from your indoor garden design idea is just wasted potential!
