With more and more people (5.9 million-plus) working from home or retiring from the workforce (10,000 new baby boomers retiring every day) the quality of the home environment is becoming more important than ever. Jenny and Kylee know that adding living plants to the decor pays off in enjoyment, pride of place, and an increased sense of well being (not to mention lower blood pressure, higher creativity and cleaner air quality). House stagers and decorators know that well placed plants add value to a home. In Indoor Plant Decor, the authors show how to design with plants and containers to enhance one's personal style. The book is divided into 8 style categories, like "Peaceful Zen," "Classic Elegance," Modern Eclectic," and "Vintage Vibe" - with photo collages of style elements, easy DIY projects, plant and container selection, and care tips for all environments and seasons. Full-color photos throughout.

Industry Reviews

Houseplants shouldn't just take up space - houseplants should help make the space in your home. For some of us, keeping living plants in the home has never gone out of style, but for others, using and caring for them has been a daunting idea.

Kylee Baumle and Jenny Peterson's passion for designing with indoor plants makes them the perfect guides to help us make new, fresh and stylish additions to every room. Indoor Plant Decor makes houseplants easy and hip again! The brilliance of this book is the clarity with which it is able to communicate their growing tips with full-color images that illustrate their creative plant decor ideas.

What's green, growing and worth an estimated $1.7 billion in annual sales? Houseplants in every size, shape, texture and color. Millennials wanting to bring the outdoors inside are driving the growth of indoor gardening. Houseplants provide a connection to nature, they improve indoor air quality and they're great for decorating every room in the house.

There are many houseplant how-to books on the shelves these days, but Jenny Peterson and Kylee Baumle were ahead of the trend when they wrote Indoor Plant Decor: The Design Stylebook for Houseplants (St. Lynn's Press, 2013). The book beautifully illustrates how to use houseplants as part of a personal decorating style.

"I think houseplants are to gardening what chickens are to urban farming - they're the gateway plant!" said Peterson, a landscape designer, author and speaker based in Austin, Texas (JennyNybroPeterson.com). "They're easy to grow, in general, and give first-time plant parents a feeling of success and accomplishment. And I also think that houseplants add a coziness and realness to our homes that really help if your life is stressful or anxious."
