<p>It's amazing what a walk in the park can do for you when you're feeling sad. This is because connecting with nature improves our overall well-being. Time spent outside in a green environment can reduce mental tiredness, boost relaxation, and even improve cognition according to studies. Indoor plants not only look wonderful, but they may also make us feel good. The presence of indoor plants has a calming and restoring effect—in fact, scientific field studies have shown that in workspaces where indoor plants have been installed, job performance increased, employee welfare improved, and sick-leave absences decreased. Research also suggests that hanging house plants can:</p><ol><li><span style="color:hsl(0,0%,0%);">Increase your happiness, creativity, focus, and originality.</span></li><li><span style="color:hsl(0,0%,0%);">Reduce weariness and stress.</span></li><li><span style="color:hsl(0,0%,0%);">Absorb toxins, reduce humidity, and produce oxygen—thus resulting in cleaner indoor air.</span></li><li><span style="color:hsl(0,0%,0%);">Bring liveliness to antiseptic environments, provide solitude, and lower noise levels.</span></li></ol><p><strong>Now that you know the benefits of welcoming indoor plants into your home, here are some hanging houseplants you can consider:</strong></p><h2>1. Maidenhair fern (Adiantum)</h2><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.zeezest.com/images/PROD_1_1654768577728.jpg"></figure><p>Maidenhair ferns are fragile indoor hanging plants with scanty leaflets that resemble lace. They're classified as hardy ferns rather than ferns that demand steamier temperatures but don't let that deceive you. Because maidenhair ferns are picky about their growth circumstances, keeping them healthy indoors can be challenging. The most important environmental component in successfully caring for this fern is humidity—it thrives on moisture and requires a lot of it to survive, which may be difficult to produce in indoor situations.</p><p>Your best option for ensuring the survival of your thirsty maidenhair fern is to provide it with multiple water sources. Continuously moist soil is a good place to start; from there, be sure to water your fern regularly, either daily or every other day, and never let the soil dry up. Overwatering can cause yellow leaves, so keep an eye out for them.</p><h2>2. Orchid (Orchidaceae)</h2><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.zeezest.com/images/PROD_2_1654768596045.jpg"></figure><p>Orchids are among the most popular houseplants. It's not difficult to learn how to care for orchid plants as long as they have adequate growing conditions. Indoor orchid plant care is simple if you understand how to cultivate them properly. Depending on the type, these fascinating blooms come in a variety of colours and sizes. They make fantastic accent plantings for almost any type of house décor.</p><p>Orchids require little attention provided their fundamental needs—such as light, temperature, and humidity—are met. Orchids require plenty of moisture but should be left to dry out in between watering sessions. Poking your thumb about an inch into the ground is one way to check whether the soil is sufficiently hydrated.</p><p>Domestic orchid plants require a high level of humidity, preferably 50 to 70%. There are several methods for increasing the humidity in your house. Place a moisture plate or stone tray underneath the plant, spritz your plants daily, or use a mister. Fertilise orchids regularly, preferably bi-weekly while they are growing and then monthly once they have reached maturity. When the plant becomes dormant, stop fertilising completely.</p><h2>3. Air plant (Tillandsia) </h2><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.zeezest.com/images/PROD_3_1654768606078.jpg"></figure><p>This easy, attractive indoor choice does not need soil, making it a favourite pick for any room in your home. Air plants are not a low light indoor hanging plant and it needs adequate circulation to survive, but they're generally low maintenance. The flowers they produce have a social media-worthy appearance and you can amp up the aesthetic of the plant with the pot you pick. Because of their sleek and contemporary appearance, glass globes are quite popular to house them. They can also provide you with a 360-degree view of your air plant.</p><p>Tillandsias grow differently than most other home plants, which can be perplexing for new plant parents. They are extremely resilient and require far less care than other home plants. Provided the atmosphere is not too dry they can survive with water misting and the occasional bath.</p><h2>4. Satin pothos</h2><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.zeezest.com/images/PROD_4_1654768627282.jpg"></figure><p>Because it is so visually beautiful, this slow-growing trailing vine plant is frequently used in stock pictures. Satin pothos (Scindapsus pictus) flourishes in a warm area with high humidity. However, keep in mind that satin pothos is not suitable for homes with pet animals since it contains calcium oxalate granules that, if swallowed, can cause irritation and nausea.</p><p>Grow your satin pothos in fertile, well-drained soil, fertilize regularly, and water when the top 2-3 inches of soil when it gets dry. Provide above-average humidity and intense indirect light, with temperatures ranging from 18 to 29 degrees Celsius.</p><h2>5. Peperomia Quadrangularis</h2><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.zeezest.com/images/PROD_5_1654768640118.jpg"></figure><p>Peperomia quadrangularis, sometimes known as the beetle plant, is well-known among potted plant lovers for its distinctive elliptical and emerald leaves. It is among the best hanging plants you can have in your home and can reach a height of 12 inches. Most peperomia houseplants should be kept in bright, indirect sunshine at temperatures ranging from 18 to 25 degrees Celsius. They should be watered only when the top inch of the soil has dried up, fertilized weekly during planting season, and potted in well-draining garden soil.</p><h2>6. String of pearls</h2><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.zeezest.com/images/PROD_6_1654768654355.jpg"></figure><p>Senecio rowleyanus, or string of pearls as it is also called, gets its name from the large leaves that adorn its long cascading tendrils. It enjoys a dry environment and is drought resistant—so don't water it regularly and let the earth dry up between waterings. It's best to keep dogs and children away from it since eating the leaves of this plant will give them nasty stomach pain. The string of pearls plant has spherical, succulent leaves that hang from long, thin stalks. Although they appear to be peas rather than beads, this succulent is unquestionably a diamond. Suspend this hanging succulent plant to show off its trailing bead-like foliage. You can plant many young plants together to create a complete, eye-catching display.</p><p>Reduce watering throughout the winter months, but don't let the potting mix totally dry up. Chilly, dry weather may encourage spring blossoming. The blossoms on the plant are stunning, too, with clusters of petite, white trumpet-shaped flowers studded with multicoloured stamens.</p><h2>7. Burro’s tail</h2><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.zeezest.com/images/PROD_7_1654768670875.jpg"></figure><p>Burro's tail (Sedum morganianum) is among the most unusual succulents that you can grow indoors, with rows of tiny, plump leaves on cascading stalks. This low-maintenance, drought-tolerant houseplant is frequently limited to tabletop pots, but it really shines when its rope-like stems cascade from a hanging pot. Burro's tail is great for frequent travellers as it requires very little watering. When growing a burro's tail, water it carefully. Maintain a moderately wet environment for the plant.</p><p>Excessive water can cause the succulent's branches to decay. Burro's tail is a great hanging plant, and it also grows well in rockery crevices and provides an interesting ground cover. Spread the bushy branches in a bed of seasonal colour or bright blooming perennials.</p><p>The most apparent choice for hanging plants at home is from the wall or ceiling with a hook, but if the weight of the pot and damp soil is a cause of concern for you, mount it on a wall stud or ceiling joist for a stable anchor.</p><p>If hanging planters isn't an option, use these plants in other inventive ways. Set pots on the top shelf of a bookshelf or above a kitchen unit to allow the strands to flow down. Alternatively, use a tall narrow plant stand or tiny side table to allow the strands to fall over. The sky is indeed the limit—or at least your ceiling is.</p>

Workspaces where indoor plants have been installed, job performance increased, and employee welfare improved.

Caring for indoor hanging plantsis simple if you learn how to cultivate them properly. Indoor plants not only look wonderful, but can also reinvigorate your living space.

<p>Your home is where you spend the majority of your time, so you want it to be comfortable and inviting. And as the saying goes by "home is where the heart is," most of us enjoy customising our homes to reflect our personal tastes and preferences. It goes without saying that many homeowners prefer to keep abreast of the latest developments in the world of interior design.</p><p>But how can you know which one is best for your home in light of the ever-changing trends? If you're moving into a new house and are looking for some decorating ideas, you might want to give these 2022 interior design trends a try.</p><p>As we step into 2022, we want our home to look as good as we expect this year to turn out to be. Every new season, by definition, is full of hope and the promise of new beginnings. From the growing importance of sustainable materials to elegant features and a celebration of individuality and originality, our 2022 interior design trend list will give you a curated look that will help usher your home with amazing flair.</p><h2>1. Interior colour design trends in 2022</h2><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.zeezest.com/images/PROD_Leaves_1654261084938.jpg"></figure><h3>1. Develop a green thumb</h3><p>2022 is the year of green supremacy, with a lush forest of verdant hues bringing nature's healing properties within. As digital lifestyles become more demanding, home retreats need a more connection to raw materials, tactile touches, and caring, living hues.</p><h3>2. Add a hint of green</h3><p>Create a haven of tranquillity with subdued green infusions that assist to relax our minds and add comfort to decluttered spaces. Naturally positive and joyous, gentle, organic hues foster creativity and self-expression with a modern touch. It's always enjoyable to give your living space a spring refresh with green living room ideas.</p><h3>3. Blue horizons</h3><p>Transformative colours inspired from sea to sky infinities breathe new life into rooms by being airy and fresh. Blues encourage tranquillity and are especially beneficial in relaxation settings such as bedrooms and blue bathrooms. With such a wide variety of hues to pick from, blue can strike a variety of chords. Electric blues infuse walls with intensity, while colder tones provide an industrial vibe.</p><h3>4. Naturally occurring neutrals</h3><p>The colour trend for 2022 and probably beyond will be soothing neutrals. Stress levels are at an all-time high, and the last thing most people want to come home to is a house painted in a colour that can significantly increase anxiety and stress. After a long day of unpleasant news and work, you're probably looking forward to returning home to clean, light hues and tones; think blues and greens.</p><h2>2. Add some shapes. </h2><p>Make a bold statement. Geometric forms are an excellent method to make a visually appealing impression in your décor.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.zeezest.com/images/PROD_Shapes_1654261252392.jpg"></figure><p>When your home's layout is in need of an update but you have a limited budget and even less time, you've come to the correct spot. Your entire place may seem fresh, on-trend but ageless, and sophisticated with something as easy as an accent wall, coloured light bulb, or new throw cushion.      </p><p>The appearance and feel can change based on the colour and size of the objects you choose. When making style statements with neutral tones or on a small scale, the impression may be refined and balanced; when done in vibrant colours and large-scale designs, the effect can be whimsical and eye-catching. The beauty of adopting these elements to characterize your room is that there are so many various ways to go—both in design and furnishings prints altogether.</p><h2>3. It’s time to bring nature inside</h2><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.zeezest.com/images/PROD_Rustic_1654261360572.jpg"></figure><p>Since the pandemic has limited our capacity to roam and enjoy the things we value, why not bring a memory of a beloved vacation spot into your home design trends? Something like gorgeous wallpaper that is inspired by your favourite vacation. Additional forest colours, as well as green and mossy, are expected to be utilized in conjunction with natural wood hues, stone with noticeable dried reeds, floral bloom, and leaf designs.</p><p>What’s not to love about a houseplant? You can always count on them to add a dash of verdant greenery to any space. And for those leaning toward an urban jungle aesthetic, plants can make living indoors feel like a delightful sojourn at an exotic locale—no luggage or travel required. But with so many different varieties to enjoy, choosing a houseplant to represent all your hopes and dreams for the new year might feel a bit daunting</p><h2>4. Let’s personalise our work desks</h2><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.zeezest.com/images/PROD_BT_1654261457616.jpg"></figure><p>To be at home for so long and unable to interact or engage with others has forced most of us to find alternative methods to express ourselves. One of the latest interior design trends to personalize the working area is the creation of a Zoom nook, a peaceful space where you can conduct video chats that are also tastefully dressed and arranged to show people a little bit of your personality. Most people's houses have this tiny nook decorated in their favourite colours, with elegant artwork, posters, or statement items on the backdrop. Many people go so far as to make their work to be shown in the backdrop.</p><h2>5. Sustainability is the key</h2><p>Sustainable living isn't any more a far-fetched notion or an impulse; it has become an intentional lifestyle choice for many homes seeking to be more energy efficient. Aside from energy efficiency and social responsibility, a sustainable house is also financially effective, providing its residents with a unique feeling of comfort.</p><p>The most important method to create a sustainable house is to make good use of natural light. When renting, purchasing, or building a home, it is critical to select appropriate window systems. Large windows are good energy-saving elements in most regions, with the exception of particularly hard winters.</p><p>Opting for LED light system and energy-efficient electrical devices can help you save on energy costs. An excellent insulation system can assist you in maintaining a consistent home temperature throughout the year.</p><h2>6. Multifunctional  spaces    </h2><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.zeezest.com/images/PROD_Spaces_1654261619232.jpg"></figure><p>Home designs are introducing more multi-functional rooms into their floor plans in the age of open-plan houses and mobile technological gadgets.</p><p>Kitchen islands serve as both a dining room and a workplace. Guest bedrooms can double up as office spaces. Some smaller homes need you to mix room functioning due to limited space. From shifting furniture to demolishing walls, these design hacks can help you use your space to its fullest potential in a way that merges purpose style.</p><h2>7. Trending kitchen design in 2022</h2><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.zeezest.com/images/PROD_New%20Project_1654261722017.jpg"></figure><p>The variety of options accessible for kitchen and dining spaces are practically unlimited, guaranteeing there is something to satisfy everybody. Some ideas to pep up your kitchen:</p><ol><li><span style="color:hsl(0,0%,0%);">Although a tile kitchen is not a new style, there will be a shift away from matte textures and toward glossy textures. A glossy tile is not only easy to clean, but it also emits light throughout the room, creating stunning effects regardless of colour.</span></li><li><span style="color:hsl(0,0%,0%);">Incorporating antique or vintage elements and furniture into a kitchen to create a warm, lived-in feel is also going to see a surge. Antique objects add character to a room because they are timeless, constructed to last, and are typically affordable to buy at a garage sale or online such as Freedom Tree as they have lovely vintage pieces.</span></li><li><span style="color:hsl(0,0%,0%);">General kitchen light fixtures should be recessed in the ceiling with no obstructing objects in their radius, such as a fan or overhead storage. If you don't have a false ceiling, utilise wall-mounted light fixtures to ensure that the light is distributed evenly across the space.</span></li></ol>
