A little extra chlorophyll never hurt anyone. Let’s be honest—no home ever said, “I’m TOO cozy, TOO fresh, and have WAY too much oxygen.” That’s why at Energy Smart New Homes, we fully support the green invasion… of houseplants, that is!
Whether you’re a seasoned plant parent with a fiddle leaf fig that’s practically on your taxes, or you’ve just managed to keep a succulent alive for three weeks (go you!), there’s a place for leafy friends in every smart home.
Ready to turn your efficient, eco-friendly space into a jungle-chic paradise? Let’s dig in.
Got one of those gorgeous Energy Smart windows that practically beams sunshine all day? (We know you do.) It’s the perfect perch for:
Pro tip: Use varying heights of pots or stands to give your plant squad a tiered stage. Yes, they deserve it.
Who needs wallpaper when you’ve got living décor? Try hanging:
Bonus: Plants naturally purify air, which means your home stays Energy Smart and lung-friendly—two things we can totally get behind.
Forget plastic decor fruit—sprinkle in the real stuff! Basil, mint, rosemary, and thyme all thrive in sunny spots and make you look like a culinary genius when friends stop by.
Imagine saying, “Oh, you like this pasta? I just snipped some herbs from the windowsill this morning.” Instant Martha Stewart vibes. Zero effort.
Think your bathroom’s too steamy for plants? Think again. Bathrooms are like spas for humidity-loving species like:
Pop a few on floating shelves, the toilet tank, or even hanging from a tension rod in the shower. Boom—tropical vibes without ever leaving North America.
Have an empty corner that’s just... there? Fill it with a showstopper plant like:
Stick ‘em in a basket, wrap a string of fairy lights around the base, and suddenly your space is giving Pinterest board come to life.
It’s not all about the tall and leafy. Small spaces deserve green companions too:
Even one tiny plant can bring surprising warmth and life into your space.
At Energy Smart New Homes, we design homes that love the environment as much as you do. So it only makes sense to fill those eco-friendly walls with thriving, air-purifying, serotonin-boosting green goodness.
Plants don’t just decorate—they elevate. And in a home that’s already built to maximize efficiency, airflow, and comfort, houseplants are the natural cherry on top.
So go ahead—embrace your inner jungle. Let your living room breathe. Give your hallway a leafy hug. Your home (and your mental health) will thank you.
And remember, when you plant roots in an Energy Smart New Home—you’re already on the right path.
