A Green Corner With Room to Sit
Arrange plants around how the room is used, leaving the comfortable seat and clear path in charge.

Start with the seat
Sit where you normally do and note the view, lamp and walking space. Plants should add to the corner without crowding it.
Group compatible locations
Place plants according to their light and care needs, not just leaf shape. Keep watering access and surface protection in mind.
Live with the arrangement
Use the corner for a week before adding more. If leaves block a drawer or a pot is hard to reach, adjust the layout.
How many plants make a corner?
There is no ideal number. Leave room to sit, move and care for each plant comfortably.
