Why It’s Important to Include Plants in Your Home in Winter

21 January 2017 by Eileen

Why It’s Important to Include Plants in Your Home in Winter!

We all know how dull the weather can be throughout winter, with many parts of the country being subjected to ice, snow and sometimes even floods. Winter can be notorious for its horrible weather conditions, making the majority of us stay inside and enjoy the warmth of our homes.

With winter often known as the most miserable season of the year, except for Christmas of course, you are probably looking for ways to brighten up your day! Plants can be a helpful way to brighten up your home in winter for a number of different reasons.

Why It’s Important to Include Plants in Your Home in Winter

It creates a much nicer view

At the end of the day, having beautiful plants across your home will make the view much nicer. Whichever room you choose to have plants will immediately become more appealing, especially if it is miserable outside!

Your home may already be decorated beautifully and it might be just how you like it, but you’d be surprised at how much difference a well-placed plant could make. Whether it’s something lavish or quite a simple plant, it can brighten up anyone’s day.

There have also been a number of studies to show that plants can actually increase your capacity to think and focus. This in itself can boost your productivity around the home.

It can improve your health

Having plants in your home throughout the winter can actually have a positive impact on your health and wellbeing too. As everyone naturally picks up more illnesses in the cold and wet weather, plants might be able to help.

Plants are known for purifying the air in your home, removing toxins. Nature’s air purifier, having plants in your home can get rid of any dangerous compounds from your home so that you can breathe easier!

Plants are also known for enhancing your mood. By reducing stress and anxiety, having plants in your home could promote a positive and calm environment. With many people often feeling low in the winter months due to a lack of sun, this could make a huge difference to your home.

It is also possible that plants have the ability to reduce the amount of dust in the air too, making sure that your home remains in a good condition!

The best house plants for the job

There are some plants that are well-known for their abilities to improve the quality of your home. For example, the beautifully interesting snake plant is known for purifying the air and is perfect for placing in your living room.

The peace lily can actually help to remove mould from the air, and so is the best plant to sit on your bathroom windowsill! Gerbera daisies will release oxygen at night, so you might want to think about adding one in your bedroom!

The finishing touch for any plant that you are buying for your home? A beautiful planter so they can add a decorative touch to any room!
