Balancing Green & Gold: Using Plant Accessories for a Luxe Look
Let’s be honest—your plants deserve more than plastic pots and sad saucers. They’re the living jewelry of your home, and it's time to give them a glow-up worthy of their greenery. Whether your plant corner feels a little meh or you're simply craving that signature Gilded Monstera touch, this guide has you (and your roots) covered.
From matte gold misters to sculptural plant stands, we’re sharing 5 no-fail ways to upgrade your indoor jungle—without overwatering your budget. Think of it as your plant's version of a designer handbag: functional, fabulous, and totally conversation-starting.
1. Upgrade to Statement Pots That Steal the Show
You wouldn’t wear your best outfit with house slippers, so why let your plants live in nursery pots? Go for ceramics in neutral tones, metallic finishes, or textural details like ridges and stoneware. As an example, our owner only uses white ceramic pots, with this she's able to get variety in shapes, sizes and patterns while maintaining a seamless look that will match any decor for years to come.
💡Pro tip: Use elevated ceramic planters to give your space height variation—and a hint of curated drama.
Why it works: Swapping plastic for pottery instantly elevates your plant game and complements luxe interiors like velvet, brass, or marble.
2. Accessorize with Watering Tools That Double as Décor
Say goodbye to that clunky green jug from the garage. A chic watering can or gold misting bottle isn’t just useful—it’s art. Leave them out on purpose.
✨ Shop our gold & brass misters & modern watering cans to make hydration moments feel like a spa day.
Why it works: It keeps plant care easy and stylish, while encouraging consistency (a hydrated plant is a happy plant).
3. Layer in Plant Stands for Instant Levels
If your greenery is crowding like it’s waiting for concert tickets, it’s time to give them some stage time. Plant stands bring dimension, flow, and structure—especially in smaller spaces.
📏 Choose from minimalist metal plant stands or boho-chic bamboo risers to suit your vibe.
Why it works: They create visual balance and give your luxury plants the spotlight they deserve.
4. Dress Your Dirt: Top It Off with Moss or Stones
Bare soil? Not in this house. Top your plant’s potting mix with preserved moss, polished pebbles, or even golden gravel. It’s like adding the perfect necklace to a killer outfit.
🌿 Try decorative moss and soil toppers to tie your look together and prevent moisture loss.
Why it works: It looks expensive (even when it’s not), and it also helps regulate soil moisture and keep pests away.
5. Light It Up—But Make It Sexy
Grow lights don’t have to scream science lab. These days, you can find ones that look like high-end lighting while keeping your photosynthesizers thriving.
💡 Look for modern grow lights that blend with your décor—and match your aesthetic as much as your plant’s needs.
Why it works: It solves the biggest indoor plant woe (lack of sunlight) without compromising your design aesthetic.
