Room flowers in the bedroom - one of the most important elements of decor. In principle, the recommended number of flowerpots is not, but it is best to choose as many flowers as you can in your room without discomfort for yourself, because at night the plants absorb more oxygen than during the day. It is best to stay at 2-5 plants. The main thing - to place them in the room.

Until recently, it was thought that it would be best to place the flowerpots on the window sills, but here you should consider the "growth" of your flower: if the plant is tall, then there will be little space on the window sill, and it will shade the whole room, and the short one will look nice in a group planting with other low plants. In the bedroom, flowering plants can be placed on low tables or pot stands. Especially beautiful is the flower stand as a partition between the bedroom areas, for example, to separate the dressing area from the bedroom or to separate the working area and wardrobe, if you have a large room. The arrangement of colors depends on your design talent, but placing them very close to the sleeping area is not recommended, because it can lead to allergies.
For the decoration of the bedroom suitable outdoor flowers in large decorative pots. Various dwarf trees, flowering bushes and palm trees are the perfect solution for creating coziness in your bedroom.
The main criteria for choosing plants for the bedroom
