Scandinavian interior design is well-known around the world. Its strength is in keeping it as simple as possible, with a soothing color palette and natural materials. White and grey are frequently the dominant colors, and when combined with various types of wood, simple lines, a few woolly elements here and there, and green plants, it creates the ideal Scandinavian interior! Here are five plants that'll give your apartment that 'Scandinavian' vibe.
Achieve a Scandinavian Interior With These Five Houseplants
Plants, more than anything else, make an apartment feel more like a home. Plants are a great way to add color and a natural touch to a minimalist or neutral-colored apartment. They also help to purify the air and increase the humidity in the room. Scandinavian house plants, with their tall, thin, and minimalist-friendly structure, will bring your interior to life.

It is very easy to care for and grows in a variety of conditions, including the sun, shade, and even drafts, where other flowers die. Watering the flower should be done only once every week or two. If your sansevieria has grown, move it to a larger pot and place it on the floor.
Green naturally brings you closer to nature, something that is very important in Scandinavian interiors. Because the base is so neutral, many plants fit perfectly into this interior! The greenery pops out and makes for an extra cozy and lively home.
