It is always good to include some kind of plant life in your home.
Real plants are wonderful because they help clean the air and push more oxygen into the room. But it’s okay if you can’t keep a plant alive to save your life. A faux plant can provide all the beauty without any of the risk.
Sometimes plants are used as the sole addition of color to the room. Other times they are a decor idea to accent colors or fill up some necessary space.
With so many options for living room indoor plants, real or fake, you should certainly be able to find something that will work in your home.
Dominate a tall space with a tree to balance out the height of the room, or succulents arranged on a side table to keep it low-key.
In the room pictured above, the small trees are used not only to highlight the green accents of the room but also to balance the low profile of the furniture against the high ceiling.
Whatever your thoughts about your space, adding an indoor plant will accentuate the space considerably.
We hope that you enjoy the rest of our gallery of living room design ideas!
1. Houseplants Work Well with a Textured, Neutral Palette
This spacious living room uses rich textures on the surfaces to add a sense of luxury to the decor. Including houseplants brings a breath of life and pops of color to break up the textured but neutral palette of the room. They also utilize space in the room that wouldn’t make sense for anything else.
2. Plants Enhance Dark Wood Furniture
Carefully selected houseplants enhance the dark wood used in the room’s furniture and bring an extra touch of color that compliments the pale blue used as an accent. A neutral palette allows white, blue, and green to stand out against the beige walls.
3. Flowers Bring the Outdoors Inside
Houseplants in this room make it feel like the outdoors has been brought inside. The use of natural wood maintains the rustic, lodge-like feel of the design, while the choice of flowering plants accents the subtle use of red and yellow in the furniture and walls of the room.

4. Asian Decor Features Large Potted Plants
Asian decor is enhanced with potted houseplants. The rich burgundy and gold accent colors bring out the gorgeous red hue of the wood floor and matching furniture.
5. Greenery Adds Color and Visual Interest
This muted color palette is spiced up with peacock blue accents and the bright green of the indoor plants placed around the room. Bold black and white patterns add some visual interest to the space.
6. Potted Houseplants Support Calm Space
Houseplants add to the calm atmosphere of this peaceful room. Contemporary furniture paired with the layered stone fireplace and muted wood floors solidify the design of the space. Burnt orange accents in the pillows and the two side chairs create interest against a neutral palette.
7. Potted Plants Provide Transition to Outdoors
With little direct sunlight, this room is filled with many colors, textures, and subtle patterns. Placing the trees in the living space brings the outdoors inside.
8. Neutral Palette Showcases Greenery and Dark Hardwood Floor
Setting the room’s base as white with tan, brown, and gray accents creates an excellent showcase for the bright green plants and the stunning wood floor. The interlocking coffee tables combine the different shades of brown and tan.

9. Plants Help Create Cozy Atmosphere
Filling this home decor with plants and knick-knacks gives it a sense of rich luxury while remaining cozy and inviting. Leather furniture compliments the dark wood and offsets the lighter, plush fabrics throughout the room.
10. Green Foliage Livens Up Rustic Space
A rustic, luxury lodge is not something you see every day, but here is a great example. Exposed wood, heavy stone, and leather bring the room together, while the antler-supported coffee table and the crystal chandelier are at odds with each other in a way that works for the whole room. Lively green foliage brightens up the space.

11. Greenery Placed Throughout Living Room
Broad green leaves help the more minor, subtler plants to stand out more in this neutral-colored room. The heavy wood coffee table creates an excellent focal point, complementing the dark wood used in the rest of the room.
12. Bold Green Foliage Balances Black and Furnishings
Accents of pale, crystalline blue pair with bold green plants to balance the black and tan used in this room. Fleeting white accents make a subtle appearance here and there.

Against so much white and pastel blue, the greenery of plant life pops into the foreground of the room. Delicate touches of yellow can be seen in the pillows and throughout the space.
14. Potted Plants Look Lost in Massive Space
This massive room creates an airy feel around the small sitting area in the center. A few small trees help to take up room, but the interior designer has spaced them too far apart to fill anything successfully.
15. Greenery Stands Out in Heavily Textured Living Room
The inclusion of greenery lightens this heavily textured room. Pale-colored walls and floors balance the dark, heavy colors used in the rest of the room, while the bright green serves as a contrasting color for the golden yellow accents.

17. Greenery Accents the Use of Natural Wood in Living Room
Brilliant white is toned down with splashes of muted gray and accents of silver, while the inclusion of greenery accents the use of natural woods in the room. Plenty of natural light pours in through windows.

18. Potted Green Bamboo Makes Design Statement
Serving as the only bold color in the room, green bamboo and apples draw the eye to this land of stark white and clean edges.
19. Forest of Greenery Provides Colorful Contrast
A small forest stands sentinel in the corner of the room, highlighting the subtle uses of green in the accents throughout the space. Shades of brown are used to balance the use of white in the rest of the room.

22. Potted Plants Warm Up Living Room Design
Pale raw wood and concrete floors make this space feel stark and open, but the addition of chocolate brown furniture and bright splashes of orange, teal, and green warm the room and counter the cold feel of the base materials.
23. Plants Work with Design to Accentuate Contemporary Style
Here the plants work with the design to accentuate the style of the room. Rich textures fill the space with interest, and bright colors create a cozy feel in this otherwise large open space.
