hi everyone so today i'm helping my sister move to her new apartment this is why the car is filled
with a lot of stuff and after that i'm going to plant style her apartment so that would be fun
i'll be sharing with you my tips and tricks on how to plant style an apartment for someone who is not
a plant collector and just like really using house plants as home decor for small apartments
so that should be fun and i'm excited but first we have to unload all the stuff the apartment tour
so what you have is an east-facing window which is not bad
so we unloaded some of the stuff mostly kitchen and cleaning stuff and we are going to
unpack everything so once we kind of like have unpacked her stuff and then also clean up the
space put up some of the furnitures i'm going to come back in here and plant-style
the apartment the thing is though when i do it she might not have all of her furnitures yet
but all she's waiting on i believe is a couch and she's also looking to get a media console
for her tv so that's pretty much it it's not gonna be a lot but there's going to be a lot of space
for plants which is i love it she has like floor to ceiling windows it is east facing
slash southeast facing so that will be great for plants even though she's at a lower level in her
apartment building so yeah i'm excited to help her set up her place so i'm gonna go get working
so now i'm building the ikea dressers for my sister and we get a little bit messy so we have
a dining table that we got ikea yesterday and we kind of stuck up her kitchen already so i finished
one dresser and there's another dresser to go but here's kind of like the setup for now this is the
dining this is the lamp that could be a lighting for the dining and the sofa would go here the side
table there then i'm about to head to my sister's place and i'm bringing plants for her to and i'm
going to decorate her place with my plants you can just get the theme here and i'll explain
later why i chose this place but i think you can guess why so i'm bringing the ruby fighters this
little speaker next this is how effective in the car kind of nervous but hopefully it will be okay
i don't know how you movers do it moving with your plants and everything but hopefully this
doesn't get damaged or not a lot of damage by the time i bring it up to my sister's apartment
okay so i made it to my sister's apartment and here are all the plants that i brought to decorate
her apartment and as you can see here there's a theme going on with the plants that i bought
i brought mostly low light plants and low maintenance plants and this is a 600 square
foot apartment but i'm mostly just decorating her living space i'm not touching her bedroom
her bathroom and maybe just a little bit in the kitchen but mostly it's just the living area
and this is important when you're bringing home plants with you whether you just want plants as
home decor or you're an avid plant collector the things that you really need to consider
is your lifestyle how busy you are how much time you can give to take care of your houseplants my
sister has a busy corporate job so she needs very low maintenance plants and number two
is the amount of light you can give them she has floor to ceiling southeast windows which is great
she is also in the lower level of her building and there's buildings blocking the sun so that's why i
still chose low-light plants for her instead of giving her plants that are gonna need a lot of
bright light so yeah i'm really excited to show you how i'm gonna decorate her space with this
house blanks i got the zz plant the neon pothos the snake plant the hoya compacta njoy pothos
over here the scindapsus exotica and she does have a problem color with her plants so i got her some
orchids the stromathe triostar and the ruby ficus elastica as a floral statement plant and this
one is originally hers actually so i'm just like bringing it back to her but yes let's go ahead and
decorate her living space this is her living space she got her couch already but she's still missing
like the middle part of it which is going to come later but that's okay and she has the floor lamp
over there where she doesn't have a lot of light so we're actually going to switch out the light
in that later on in her dining area so this is pretty much the space that we're working with
and her windows are in this section so as you can see there's a lot of light coming in with this one
it has this light which is not so bright so i'm gonna go change it out
so this one is brighter and a little bit warmer which is the kind of light that she wants
but of course this one consumes a little bit more electricity so i don't know if she wants that
but i'm going to put this one in for now because i think this one would benefit the
plants in her space as well as something that could brighten up her room as well so on this
corner right next to the southeast facing window i'm going to put the ruby package
and i stick and not only would make a great statement houseplant right next to the couch
but also it's going to be right next to the southeast facing window and that is the plan
that is going to need most flight out of all the planets that are brought into her apartment
and i got this plastic saucer this is five dollars from low so i'm gonna put it right there
before i put the plant on it and this would help greatly when she needs to water the houseplant
and that's how she's looking in that corner that looks so beautiful so for the side table
i am placing the orchids right there i think it's a good balance with the ruby ficus elastica on
that side and it looks pretty on that side table with the crystal coffee table just to break away
from the pinks with the ruby ficus elastica and the orchid i'm putting the scindapsus exotica that
looks really pretty and there as the main decor for the coffee table she wants to keep it minimal
and in this corner between the laundry room and the bathroom i'm going to put this easy plant
just like to break out the greenness and the monotony of this area but this is easy plant
so it can be a little bit farther away from the southeast facing window and these plants do well
in low light so i'm just going to put it right here on this little plant stand
so here on her dining table this is where she eats but this is also where she works
when she's working from home so i don't want to over clutter it
or put plants that are hard to move when she needs to so i'm putting this fermenting through a star
again just going with the theme of the ruby ficus and the orchid and just put it here right in the
middle it gives it a pop of color but when she needs to move it it's very easy to move and
put away when she needs the entire space for working or when she's eating
but to give this corner a pop of color as well i'm putting this neon pothos
on top of her kitchen cabinet and since this one is trailing it's going to cascade beautifully on
this side and what's great about this neon pothos is in a self-watering pot and usually
this water lasts for about two weeks so if i put it up there she doesn't have to constantly
bring this plant down in order to just water it she only has to do it like every two weeks
and it's gonna be great and look it's so lush and beautiful it's gonna look good over there
and on her media console i have the snake plant over there and i put the n'joy pothos in the
hoya compact on the shelf of her media console she's still going to kind of like attach the
backing of that and also put some other decor so i didn't want to fill it out with too many plants
just this two and what i like about those is they grow pretty low so if even if they
continue to grow they're not gonna hit the top of the shelves and they'll be good and if it
grows too long or trade too long it's like easy to just prune them to maintain their size and shape
and that's how i plan styled my sister's apartment do you like it let me know down in the comments it
might be a bit minimal for some but for her this is just the right amount of plants for her space
but i did like how it turned out with the different types of plants that we have in
here although they're mostly low light and low maintenance plants they still had a good variety
and gives very different textures and colors in the apartment it's really tight in all together
but also a character each one of its own and really lightens up the space but yeah that's
it for this mind styling video thank you so much for watching if you liked it give me a thumbs up
