Bring Earth Day Home With These Houseplant Trends

Sencillo Cabinets is rooted in simplicity. An organic, healthy space allows you to live an uncomplicated life. With Earth Day coming up on April 22, we want to celebrate a growing trend: houseplants! Houseplants provide peace, serenity, and better air quality. Check out these fun houseplant trends. 

Live Plant Built-Ins

Kitchen cabinetry isn’t just for cooking. We’re now seeing live plant features built on top of islands, peninsula cabinets, and wall shelving. Another popular feature is under counter appliance greenhouses, which will grow, light and water your plants for you.

Decorative Wall Systems

Aspiring chefs will love placing fresh herbs within arm’s reach in their kitchens. If you have the room, fill an entire wall with fresh ingredients. If you’re short on space, try a pre-made wall-mounted planter or DIY your own!

Indoor Gardens

Your kitchen is the perfect environment to grow herbs, vegetables, and microgreens, especially considering how temperamental Calgary weather can be. Incorporate fresh plants by:

  • Choosing a tabletop indoor gardening system.

  • Go mobile: choose decorative pots and planters to move around until you find a permanent solution (although, we see nothing wrong with having beautiful pottery placed throughout the kitchen!)

Serene Plants Throughout Your Home

In homes where cabinetry is plentiful, beautiful houseplants add style, colour, and a bit of the outdoors inside.

  • Give your kitchen a makeover with cascading plants framing cabinetry.

  • Succulents are a low maintenance way to brighten any room. If there’s a shelf near indirect sunlight, adorn your cabinetry with these cute, tranquil plants.

  • English Ivy is an excellent low-light plant that’s easy to care for. Place ivy on a dining room console, living room cabinetry, or in the kitchen for a breath of fresh air.

  • Begonias will thrive in your bathroom. They’re colourful, love heat and humidity, and perform well in indirect light.
