Ways To Decorate With Potted Lavender Indoors
1. Potted Centerpiece
Once your outdoor lavender is blooming profusely, move it indoors for a few days and place it on your dining or coffee table, or just keep it in the middle of a big room to add elegance.
Its fragrant blooms will create a calming ambiance, which is perfect for gatherings. Here are other ways to use lavender!
2. Best Plant for Your Windowsill
Lavender thrives in bright sunshine; your herb will flourish in a well-lit kitchen or living room windowsill while livening up your indoors! Use a single pot and let its soft purple hues beautify the room.
3. Add Charm to Your Bathroom Decor
Keeping lavender over the sink can transform your bathroom into a spa-like place with a natural touch.
Its fragrance can double as an air freshener, so this idea can never go wrong unless your bathroom has no window. Check out this article for the most fragrant lavender varieties for your home!
4. Make a Kitchen Herb Garden
You can line up multiple small pots on your kitchen windowsill. This idea will make your kitchen a herb heaven, rich in flavors, and you can use them fresh in various dishes.
5. Refreshing Work Desk
Your work desk is another ideal spot for this drought-tolerant herb. Given that the space will stay relatively dry throughout, decorating your table with potted lavender will be instantly invigorating and a sight for sore eyes!
6. Entryway Welcome
Greet your guests with a potted lavender plant in your entryway or hallway. You can grow a tall plant in a large pot and use lavender as a herb in the same pot. This will create a beautiful contrast, as done here.
7. Hanging Lavender Display
Lavender has shallow roots that extend outward rather than deep. Plant it in a compact hanging basket in well-draining soil, and enjoy its upright purple blooms and petite foliage from a different vantage point! Here are a few other plants perfect for hanging baskets.
8. Grow Them Vertically on Shelves
You can even place potted lavender on kitchen shelves as this culinary herb with an earthy aroma can be accessed any time you’re cooking your favorite mediterranean dishes!
9. Near A Mirror
Mirrors and potted plants do wonders in adding depth and life to compact spaces. You can keep a few small pots in front of your table with a mirror and enjoy the charm of lavender. Just remember to keep it in a bright, sunny spot!
10. Beautify Your Empty Bright Corners
A bigger lavender pot can be the best option to fill barren, bright spaces in the corners of your house. Your walls will look more beautiful with the contrast that purple lavender flowers provide.
11. Wicker Basket
For a rustic cottage appeal, plant your lavender in wicker baskets filled with well-draining, nutrient-rich soil and complement it with a vintage clock. Ensure the medium is ideal, as overly-wet conditions will kill your lavender.
12. Lavender In Metal Planters
You can use lavender cut flowers to beautify your space. Get yourself two chic metal containers and fill them with lavender.
13. Picture Frame and Potted Lavender
This potted lavender plant sits charmingly in the corner while adding a unique touch to the space with its tall blooms. You can add a framed photo or any modern decor piece for texture.
Here’s everything you need to know about growing and caring for lavender in containers.
14. Stone Planter Duo
Use two elegant stone planters to bring a timeless charm to your indoor spaces with lavender. These planters perfectly complement the purple blooms, which makes them an eye-catching focal point for any room
15. Display a Lavender Tree
You can place a small lavender tree in a decorative gray fabric planter, and if you have musical instruments around, those will take the look to a new level. You can also use lavender trees as a central piece on a dining table or any other table top.
