Tips for Decorating Your Living Room with Phalaenopsis Orchids

February 25, 2013


The living room is one of the most important spaces in your home. It is the place where you relax with your family or housemates and entertain your guests. One way to make your living room more attractive and inviting is to decorate it with Phalaenopsis orchids. When they are in full bloom, these fabulous orchids will brighten up your living room with their radiant colors and create an exotic and tranquil atmosphere.

Choosing the Right Decorative Containers

Selecting the right decorative containers will enhance the appearance of your Phalaenopsis orchids and help them blend nicely with your living room décor. The containers should accentuate the beauty of the plants, not overwhelm them. They can be anything ranging from seasonal- or nature-themed containers, such as mossy baskets. If the containers are large enough, you can add ferns, ivies, or grasses to make the orchids look even more impressive. Topping them with Spanish moss will give them a unified look.

Choosing the Right Spots

When you are deciding where to place your Phalaenopsis orchids, you should not choose spots that receive harsh sunlight or direct draft from a cooling or heating vent. Also, consider the activities that take place at the spots. For instance, placing a tall Phalaenopsis orchid on the coffee table may not be a good idea, because people may find it awkward to have to peek around the plant during conversations. Some of the best spots in the living room to display your orchids are side tables, display cabinets, and windows.
