Collection: Faux Plants and Trees

Artificial plants are one of the easiest ways to bring greenery into your home without the maintenance of real plants. They add softness, texture and colour to a room, while staying fresh and beautiful throughout the year.

Our artificial plants collection includes realistic faux plants, faux trees, boxwood plants, herb plants, flowering plants and leafy greenery for styling living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms, hallways and shelves. Whether you’re looking for a small potted plant for a windowsill or a statement faux tree for a corner, these pieces are designed to make your home feel calm, natural and easy to live in.

Artificial plants are ideal for spaces where real plants may struggle, such as low-light rooms, busy family areas, shelves, bathrooms or rooms that need a little softness without regular care. They are also perfect if you want a styled home that still feels practical day to day.

Why Choose Artificial Plants?

High-quality artificial plants are a practical and long-lasting way to style your home. They give you the look of natural greenery without watering, pruning, repotting or worrying about light levels.

They are especially useful if you want greenery in rooms where real plants do not always thrive. Bathrooms, darker corners, shelves and hallways can all benefit from faux plants because they do not need sunlight or regular care.

Artificial plants are also easy to move around your home. A faux herb plant used in a kitchen today could later be styled on a shelf, side table or console. A faux flowering plant can soften a bedroom, living room or hallway without needing to be replaced.

Benefits of artificial plants include:

• No watering or maintenance
  
• Suitable for low-light spaces
  
• Long-lasting and reusable
  
• Easy to style in different rooms
  
• No dropped leaves or soil mess
  
• Ideal for shelves, corners and smaller surfaces
  
• A simple way to add year-round greenery

Artificial Plants for Living Rooms

Living rooms are one of the best places to style artificial plants because greenery instantly makes the space feel softer and more layered. A faux tree can fill an empty corner, while smaller potted plants can be styled on shelves, sideboards, coffee tables or console tables.

For a natural living room look, use faux plants alongside other textures such as wood, rattan, ceramic, marble, candle holders and wall decor. This helps the plants feel part of the room rather than placed separately.

Good places to use artificial plants in a living room include:

• Empty corners
  
• Shelves and bookcases
  
• Coffee tables
  
• Sideboards
  
• Console tables
  
• Beside armchairs
  
• Around fireplaces

Faux Boxwood Plants for Structure

Faux boxwood plants are perfect if you want a clean, structured look. Their neat shape makes them ideal for entryways, console tables, shelves and areas where you want greenery to feel balanced and intentional.

Boxwood plants work especially well in pairs. Use two matching plants either side of a doorway, mirror, console table or fireplace to create symmetry. They are also useful in hallways and boot rooms, where their structured shape brings greenery without taking up too much visual space.

Style faux boxwood plants with:

• Neutral planters
  
• Console tables
  
• Framed wall decor
  
• Candle holders
  
• Wicker baskets
  
• Wooden furniture
  

For a more natural finish, avoid surrounding them with too many matching pieces. A little softness from baskets, faux flowers or textured decor will stop the look feeling too rigid.

Faux Herb Plants for Kitchens

Faux herb plants are a lovely way to add greenery to kitchens and dining spaces. They feel natural, relaxed and practical, especially when styled on shelves, windowsills, kitchen worktops or open storage.

Because faux herb plants are usually compact, they are perfect for smaller spaces where a larger plant may feel too much. They bring the look of fresh herbs without needing light, watering or regular replacing.

Use faux herb plants in:

• Kitchens
  
• Dining areas
  
• Windowsills
  
• Open shelving
  
• Pantry spaces
  
• Utility rooms
  

Pair them with wooden boards, ceramic pots, vintage kitchen wall art and marble accessories for a warm, natural look.

Faux Flowering Plants for Softness and Colour

Faux flowering plants are ideal if you want greenery with a little extra softness. They bring gentle colour and detail into a room without needing the upkeep of real flowering plants.

These work beautifully in bedrooms, living rooms, hallways and sideboard styling. A faux flowering plant can act as a small focal point on a table or shelf, especially when paired with a neutral planter.

Faux flowering plants are perfect for:

• Bedside tables
  
• Coffee tables
  
• Shelves
  
• Sideboards
  
• Console tables
  
• Guest bedrooms
  
• Quiet corners
  

If your home is mostly neutral, a soft flowering plant can add warmth and interest without overpowering the room.

Faux Trees for Corners and Empty Spaces

Faux trees are perfect for filling larger areas where smaller plants may feel lost. They add height, shape and natural texture to a room, making them ideal for empty corners, living rooms, dining spaces and hallways.

A statement faux tree can soften a plain wall, bring balance beside furniture or make an unused corner feel more finished. Unlike real trees, artificial trees do not need light, watering or regular care, which makes them much easier to style in any part of the home.

When choosing a faux tree, think about:

• The height of the room
  
• The size of the corner
  
• The shape of nearby furniture
  
• The planter style
  
• Whether you want a soft or structured look
  

Pair faux trees with neutral planters, woven baskets or ceramic pots for a more natural finish.

How to Style Artificial Plants with Planters

The planter you choose can completely change how realistic an artificial plant looks. Even a beautiful faux plant can feel unfinished if the planter is too small, too shiny or not suited to the style of the room.

For the most natural look, choose planters with texture, weight and softer tones. Ceramic, stone, terracotta, rustic and neutral planters all work well because they make faux plants feel more grounded.

A good planter should:

• Suit the size of the plant
  
• Cover the base neatly
  
• Work with your room’s colour palette
  
• Add texture without overpowering the plant
  
• Feel balanced with the height of the foliage

Where to Put Artificial Plants in Your Home

Artificial plants can be used throughout the home, but placement makes a big difference. The most natural-looking plant styling usually feels relaxed rather than perfectly symmetrical.

Try placing artificial plants:

• On shelves to add softness
  
• In living room corners for height
  
• On kitchen windowsills for a natural touch
  
• In bathrooms where real plants may struggle
  
• On console tables in hallways
  
• On bedside tables for a calming detail
  
• Beside sofas or armchairs to soften furniture
  

Avoid overcrowding every surface. A few well-placed faux plants will usually look more stylish than too many small plants dotted around the room.

How to Make Artificial Plants Look Real

The secret to making artificial plants look real is choosing good-quality designs and styling them carefully. Faux plants look most natural when they are shaped, placed thoughtfully and paired with the right planter.

Before styling, gently adjust the stems and leaves so they do not all sit in the same direction. Real plants have movement and variation, so your faux plant should not look too perfect.

To make artificial plants look more realistic:

• Shape the leaves and stems gently
  
• Use a planter that covers the base
  
• Add moss or decorative topping if needed
  
• Avoid overly shiny plastic finishes
  
• Place plants where real greenery would naturally sit
  
• Mix plants with other home accessories
  
• Keep arrangements simple and uncluttered
