Creating a comfortable and visually balanced space does not depend only on choosing good plants. The real magic occurs when the plants are integrated in an intelligent way with the furniture and the decoration of the house.

The club strikes a balance between colors, sizes, materials and styles.

Coordinate the colors of the plants with the decorations
Colors have a profound influence on visual harmony.

- White and beige: highlight the growing plants and showy species.
The green color of the plants softens sober environments and brings balance.

Plants can transform into strategic protagonists.
How to create a focal point:
- Place a large floor next to a large sofa or furniture.

- Small plants in repisas or center of mesa.
- Plants placed in high or low places.
The correct combination prevents the environment from becoming flat or saturated.
Combine macetas with furniture materials
Materials are as important as plants.
- Madera + cerámica mate: cálido y equilibrado.
- Metal + macetas miniaturas: modern and elegant.
- Ratán + fibras naturales: perfect for boho environments.
