You can create dynamic and visually appealing displays simply by mixing different varieties of plants together.
A few selected floating shelves can make quite an impressive statement for those who prefer minimalist approach.
When the look is kept clean and uncluttered by having sleek modern pots with sculptural plants such as succulents or cacti.
