Step 1: choose one fixed location
Choose a spot where your corner feels logical: next to the sofa, by a window, next to a cupboard, or in an empty corner. Make sure there's plenty of light (preferably indirect) and avoid drafts and radiators.
Step 2: Start with one statement plant
Choose one plant to support the base. This can be a larger plant that fills the corner. Then, fill in with smaller plants.

Step 3: work with 3 heights
- High: the statement plant on the floor
- Middle: a plant on a stool, side table or plant stand
- Low: a compact plant as a quiet accent
Step 4: Choose pots that match
Keep it simple by choosing two pots in the same shade and one accent (e.g., a basket). Consider planters or houseplants in pots or baskets for a warm look.
Step 5: Leave space
Consciously leave some "air" between the pots and around the corner. That space creates a calm and luxurious atmosphere.
Quick checklist
- 1 statement plant
- 2 supporting plants
- 3 heights
- 2 quiet pots + 1 accent
- sufficient space around
