Incorporate the Snake Plant in Your Interior Design Strategy
Steel, stone, concrete, bamboo, oak, linen – all these elements will give your home a natural feel, but only indoor plants will make it feel alive.
The wonderful thing about houseplants is that there’s a specimen for every room, spot, and interior design you can dream up. The Snake Plant is one of our favorites because it’s space-saving and beautifully sculptural.
Snake Plants grow upwards, freeing space on horizontal surfaces like countertops and desks. Plus, they survive practically anywhere, capable of thriving in the darkest corners of your home and even in rooms without natural light.
It is as tough as old boots, and even better, it comes in Golden Snake Plant and Green Snake Plant varieties, allowing you to mix and match for a unique look.
Care with easyplant
The easyplant self-watering pot needs a monthly refill to hydrate your Snake Plant. Water moves from the reservoir through a wicking system, delivering moisture directly to roots at the perfect rate to prevent overwatering and dry spells.
Setup takes minutes, requiring only water and a suitable location in your space. Maintenance becomes part of your monthly routine, freeing you to enjoy your plant's presence rather than worrying about its care.
Interior Design Matches
Snake Plants work well anywhere indoors, but these interior designs stand out:
- Minimalist - Snake Plants' clean lines work with simple white spaces and basic geometric furniture
- Industrial - Their vertical form complements other structural elements
- Modern - Colorful pots and Snake Plants complement contemporary furniture and open floor plans
- Traditional - Place in classic ceramic pots to bridge older furniture styles with updated greenery
- Mid-century Modern - Their architectural shape suits the era's clean lines and organic-meets-geometric aesthetic
Snake Plants as Space Definers
Multiple plants grouped at varying heights establish rhythm and movement within open-concept spaces.
Place your Snake Plants as green punctuation marks between functional zones to define your living spaces naturally. Alternate them with shorter companions to transform windowsills into striking displays.
One specimen can bring a touch of natural flair to your office desk or shelving unit without cluttering valuable work surfaces.
Light and Shadow
Watch your Snake Plants cast intricate patterns on nearby walls, adding new dimensions to your rooms. Morning and evening light create ever-changing shadows, bringing walls to life without additional artwork.
Position Snake Plants in underutilized spaces to turn dark corners into design features. For dramatic effect, try backlighting your plants to create living art installations. In small apartments, these lighting effects add depth without consuming precious square footage.
Design Elements
Choose Snake Plants when you want to add clean lines and architectural form to minimalist spaces. Use white walls to showcase their bold silhouettes, and let concrete floors contrast with their organic shapes.
Pair them with wood, stone, woven baskets, ceramic vessels, or metallic pots and plant stands to warm contemporary rooms. In neutral living rooms, Snake Plants provide the right touch of green without disrupting your color scheme.
Scale and Proportion
For high-ceilinged rooms, select tall specimens to highlight architectural features. Compact varieties create the same dramatic impact on coffee tables and desktops at a smaller scale.
Let your room's proportions guide plant size selection. Empty corners become purposeful when you anchor them with a Snake Plant and complementary décor.
Style Integration
Introduce Snake Plants as sculptural elements to modernize traditional interiors. In Victorian spaces, their clean lines offer an elegant contrast to ornate details.
Create anchoring points in bohemian rooms amid flowing textiles or soften industrial settings while maintaining strong vertical lines. Pair your plants with terracotta containers for Mediterranean-inspired spaces.
Color Harmony
Enhance your metallic accents with golden-edged varieties that complement brass fixtures and gold-framed artwork.
Choose deep green specimens to enrich neutral palettes or add textural interest to monochromatic rooms. These adaptable plants will find natural harmony with your paint choices, from crisp white to deep charcoal.
Professional Spaces
Position Snake Plants throughout your office. Tall specimens signal polished professionalism in reception areas, while clusters in meeting rooms create natural dividers without blocking conversation.
Add single plants to individual workstations for privacy and focus. Medical practices gain style and air-purifying benefits, particularly in waiting areas where guests appreciate the calming greenery.
Hotel lobbies shine with dramatic groupings near entrances and elevators, requiring minimal upkeep while making a memorable first impression. Conference rooms benefit from corner placements that frame presentation spaces and absorb sound.
