DOWNLOAD ::: https://urluss.com/2tEgd7
With fake plants, you can spruce up your home décor and fool everyone into thinking you've turned over a new leaf (pun intended). To help, we rounded up the best places to buy artificial plants online. From luscious palms to Boston ferns, the artificial plants you can snag at these retailers look real. The best part, though No one ever has to know your secret.
If you're in the market for fake fauna but want lots of options, Nearly Natural is one of the best places to look. From silk flowers to silk trees, this online retailer offers thousands of fake plants in different species. It uses horticulturists from the live plant industry to inform all of their designs. You can shop Nearly Natural at Bed Bath & Beyond, Wayfair, and Home Depot, but you'll have more to choose from if you head to the site directly. We've reviewed this brand and were pleasantly surprised by how well this low-maintenance greenery compared to the real thing.
When it comes to online shopping, Amazon is a behemoth. Back in 2017, the retailer launched an online garden center, the Amazon Plants Store, which has a massive selection of live plants you can buy online, many of which are eligible for free 2-day shipping if you are an Amazon Prime member.
It's possible to have green decor flair without an ounce of high maintenance care. If you, like me, frequently buy plants to liven up your space with the best of intentions, only to have them die a few months later, perhaps it's time to embrace the faux plant trend.
I'm now the proud owner of a silk pothos plant and a perfectly styled fake bird of paradise. Thanks to advice from Carlos Franqui, the mind behind Floratorium, which creates stunning large-scale installations often with fake blooms for hotels, restaurants, and boutiques, I looked for silk, real-touch plants and styled them with natural elements.
Now, I frequently get compliments on my verdant dupes and guests tend to be shocked until they're right up close when I divulge that my plants are fake. For more information on what to look for when buying fake plants and flowers and how to style them, jump to the bottom of this guide.
And if artificial plants conjure up shiny plastic leaves in your mind, think again. The best fake plants from retailers like Target, Wayfair, Pottery Barn, The Sill, and more boutique spots sell a wide variety of realistic-looking artificial plants and flowers.
Best known as an online retailer for reasonably priced furniture, Wayfair also dabbles in home decor needs. The brand has a large collection of artificial plants, flowers, trees, and even wreaths and hedges.
Amazon has a hefty range of choices for just about anything you're looking for, and that includes fake plants and flowers. As an added bonus you can easily sort by material, size, where you want to put the plants, and more categories.
However, with so many options available from different brands, it can be easy to get plastic-y looking plants that won't fool anyone into thinking they are real. Just be sure to read reviews carefully and go with thoroughly vetted options because let's face it, when fake plants are bad they are bad.
If you're a live plant enthusiast, The Sill is likely already on your radar for their wide selection of living greenery that can be shipped right to your door. However, they're also an option for faux plants.
While The Sill doesn't have the biggest selection, and is a pricier option, their fakes draw praise for looking especially natural and for the lovely pots that come with the plants in a range of neutral color choices.
Much like Pottery Barn, West Elm (which happens to be owned by the same parent company) sells pricey, but high-quality artificial plants and flowers. Their collection of botanical decor allows you to bring a touch of nature into your space without any need for trying to find the right soil or fertilizer.
Target pairs the lush vibes of fake palm fronds and tropical plants with tasteful, neutral planters for a classic look. They feature plenty of options from potted artificial hyacinth and individual wisteria stems to large-scale banana plants and bamboo trees that are both realistic and long-lasting.
Furniture and home good store Pottery Barn is another excellent place to shop for faux foliage. While the plants and flowers aren't as cheap as some other options, these handcrafted beauties are some of the most real looking imposters available, and many include planters or vases that would look at home at a special event, like a wedding. Just be prepared to spend some money, particularly if you're opting for larger-size plants and trees.
As the name implies, Nearly Natural specializes in fake plants that look as natural as possible. Some Nearly Natural branded products can be found at other retailers like Home Depot and Amazon. But for a much larger selection of their plants, flowers, trees, and arrangements, you can buy directly from them. Their artificial faux-liage is crafted from silk for a realistic final product.
While you won't find any flowers here, Artiplanto has gorgeous options for artificial potted plants and hanging plants. Even interior designers have been known to turn to them thanks to the chic look of these green decor options. Their elegant woven basket planters are an especially nice touch to liven up the aesthetic of any room, and baskets and planters are sold separately from the plants themselves.
The DIY Swedish furniture giant sells more than just tables and dressers in pieces. Add a touch of nature to your home with the retailer's lifelike artificial flowers and plants. Ikea offers some of the most affordable options out there, with many that include pots and planters still coming in under $10.
Use: If your main goal is a beautiful one-day event such as a party or wedding, Franqui recommends going with real blooms since making them last won't be an issue. However, if you want the long-term look of real flowers without the upkeep, then you may want to turn to fake options. For more permanent patio decor, a floral centerpiece you don't want to keep replacing, or a hard-to-reach corner of your home or office that doesn't get much sunlight, fake plants and flowers can be a life-saver.
Color: \"It's always important to look at the color of fake flowers to make sure they are as close as possible to mother nature's colors,\" says Franqui. Look for plants that have color variations as opposed to being all one color for a more realistic look. You may even want to compare photos of real plants with fake options side-by-side to ensure they're a close match.
Material: Franqui recommends silk as a good option for a realistic look. He also says you should look for \"real touch\" plants and flowers. Real touch flowers and plants are made from a special liquid polymer blend that allows them to more easily take on a life-like shape, color, and feel. Some real touch flowers are made just using the polymer, but some silk flowers can also be coated in it after. Franqui recommends silk real touch plants as the overall best choice.
\"My trick to make fake plants and flowers look realistic is to incorporate real elements in the design,\" says Franqui. For example, fill a clear vase with fake flowers with real water or use real soil or moss in a planter with a fake tree or plant for a more natural feel.
Franqui also likes to mix real and fake plants together for the best results. If possible, add a few real twigs or blooms to a faux floral arrangement and use fake plants to enhance indoor or outdoor greenery rather than only using fake options throughout.
Next time you're browsing Target, check out the selection of greens. They have a few small fake plants in physical stores. Online, their selection is much more robust. They have just about every plant and flower you can think of, and you can search by the exact plant or flower type to see multiple options of your desired plant. Or, if you're not sure what type you want, you can search by height (ranging from less than 10 inches to more than four feet!) or by color. If you have a RedCard, shipping on all orders more than $35 is free.
Home Depot has thousands of artificial plants for indoor and outdoor use, including some of the best \"privacy rolls\" of faux leaves that are perfect for installing on a balcony or fence. They also carry giant panels of greenery that can completely transform your walls (no paint required). Home Depot offers free shipping on most orders of $45 or more.
From desktop topiaries and pint-sized succulents to towering artificial trees and sweeping olive branches, Wayfair has a huge selection of greenery that will never need watering. Their carefully curated plants are stylish and sophisticated. You'll find options for every space and style. (They also have a great selection of live plants, as well). Wayfair's free shipping minimum is $35.
In addition to potted fake plants, wreaths of fake leaves, and artificial trees, you'll find individual \"picks\" (a.k.a. sprigs) of many types of greenery, including ferns, philodendron, aloe vera, fasciata succulents, and more. With those sprigs, you can literally create any kind of custom arrangement you want. The possibilities are endless, and you'll always find a coupon. Shipping starts at $7.99.
Here's another craft store that boasts as wide a selection online as it has in its physical stores. Michaels has hundreds of fake plants on its site, including adorable potted succulents, large potted trees, feathery ferns, and individual sprigs for DIY projects. And, just like Joann's, this craft store always has a coupon and frequent sales. Shipping starts at $6.95.
If you're looking for top-shelf fake plant decor, you will find it at Overstock. The site carries designers including Laura Ashley, Rustic Reach, and Sullivans, and has upwards of 7,000 artificial plants in stock. Plus, they offer free shipping.
In addition to the usual (potted plants, twisted shrubs, and palms with fluffy fronds), you'll find arti
