We all know that furniture and colors go in and out of fashion with the seasons, but houseplants follow their own trends too! While orchids and African violets were all the rage last decade, a whole new array of houseplants is in vogue among the decor-savvy and Insta-fluencers. Bring your interior design up to date this summer with this trendy greenery!

 

Fiddle Leaf Fig

The textured foliage and lush color of fiddle-leaf fig trees have made them one of the most popular plants in the home decor world this year. They’re also easy to care for, requiring little water and perfectly happy to sit in bright sunlight all day long. They don’t fare well in chilly weather though, so when the end of the summer rolls around, be sure to keep them away from drafty doors and windows. These stylish little plants are great as a dining table centerpiece, and can add some height and texture to a living room!

 

Monstera/Swiss Cheese Plant

These leafy giants are perhaps this year’s defining houseplant trend! With broad, tropical leaves and creeping, vinelike stalks, these plants can make any space feel like a paradise. They can be kept potted or as decorative clippings in a statement vase, and are sure to steal the show in any room you place them in.

 

Pothos

Pothos are a classic houseplant that never seem to go out of style. These hanging vines are perfect for giving a splash of color to a lonely corner, or bringing an extra touch of fun to a bedroom. As an added bonus, these lovely little houseplants are great for purifying the air, and they prefer to be neglected a little between waterings. They’re a low-effort, high-return plant that spruces up any space in your home!

 

Snake Plant

Snake plants are the succulents of 2019: hardy and almost impossible to kill, but with a minimalist charm that endears them to design enthusiasts and practical decorators alike. They offer a little more visual interest than plain old aloe and you can find them in all shapes, sizes, and shades, depending on your decor needs.

 

Rubber Fig

The tropical look of these compact trees makes them popular for similar reasons as the monstera, but where the swiss cheese plant is better suited to boho asymmetry, rubber figs have a clean, refined elegance to them. Their smooth, shiny leaves come in shades ranging from pale yellow, to forest green, to sunset pink, to deep purple, so you can match your plant to just about any decor.

 

Hoya Heart

These plants are on the smaller side and are perfect for a bedside table or kitchen nook. Their waxy, heart-shaped leaves and almost too-cute-to-be-true clusters of five-pointed blossoms are a sweet addition to spaces that need a little love. These plants haven’t had much popularity yet in the decor mainstream, but interior design experts predict that the plant will only gain more traction throughout the year. So get ahead of the trend and start the summer with one of these gorgeous houseplants.
