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.
Browse plant stands on Amazon if you need this item.
Group compatible locations
Place plants according to their light and care needs, not just leaf shape. Keep watering access and surface protection in mind.
Browse narrow plant shelves on Amazon if you need this item.
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.
Browse plant caddies on Amazon if you need this item.
How many plants make a corner?
There is no ideal number. Leave room to sit, move and care for each plant comfortably.
