When it comes to home staging, whether it's to add that inviting touch for a home that you're selling, or to attract more bookings on Airbnb, never underestimate the power of adding silk plants or flowers. A well-placed plant in the corner of a room, or a small accent of flowers in a powder-room make a space feel calm and elevated.
People find indoor plants calming
As humans, we are predisposed to find the natural shapes of plants and flowers calming, especially in a room that feels bare or with too much blocky furniture. It's not until very recently in our development as animals that we lived in square rooms without a real connection to the outdoors. If you're looking to give potential home buyers that tranquil, at-home feeling, then putting them at ease with well-placed plants is the way to go.
Faux plants are set-it-and-forget-it secret weapons
If you don't want to be watering plants in your Airbnb, or you don't want your guests killing your plants by blasting the heat, silk plants are the way to go. You can just place your realistic silk plant wherever you need to put that show-stopping element and forget all about it. Your guests will think they've booked a tropical paradise and prospective buyers will associate your home with a calm and peaceful feeling. The best part? You won't have to do anything to keep that peaceful feeling going.
