Helpful Tips and Tricks

1. Choose the right container: The container you choose for your faux succulent arrangement can greatly impact the overall look and feel. Consider the size and shape of the container, as well as the material and color. For a modern look, opt for a sleek, metallic container. For a more natural vibe, choose a container made of wood or stone.

2. Select your plants: There are many different types of faux succulent plants to choose from, each with their own unique look and texture. Consider the colors and shapes of the plants when selecting them. You can create an arrangement with plants that are all the same color or mix and match different shades for a more vibrant look. Don't forget you can pick these up at Parkway!!

3. Play with texture: One of the benefits of using faux succulent plants is that they often come in a variety of textures, from smooth and shiny to rough and spiky. Mixing textures can add depth and interest to your arrangement.

4. Consider the height and scale: When creating an arrangement, it's important to consider the height and scale of the plants. Make sure that taller plants are placed towards the back of the arrangement, while shorter plants are towards the front.

5. Add decorative elements: To make your arrangement truly unique, consider adding decorative elements like rocks, moss, or sand. These can help tie the arrangement together and add an extra pop of texture and color.

Overall, creating faux succulent arrangements in interior design is a great way to add greenery to your space without the upkeep of natural plants. With a little creativity and attention to detail, you can create a unique and stunning arrangement that complements your interior design style.
