Do you live in a small space but still want to bring greenery and atmosphere into your home? Good news: you don’t need high ceilings or a large living room to achieve that. With a smart approach and the right plants, like the versatile Anthurium, even the smallest flat or studio can look fresh, stylish and green.

A Green Boost

Why Anthuriums Are Perfect for Compact Spaces

Anthuriums are both decorative and practical:

  • Take up very little space
  • Have a naturally striking appearance – even a single plant makes an impact
  • Available in a wide range of sizes, colours, and shapes
  • Easy to care for, even for those without green fingers

The effect is immediate, whether you go for a potted Anthurium on a shelf or a single cut flower in a slim vase!

Tips for Adding Greenery to Small Spaces

Think vertically: Hang a shelf on the wall or use a narrow bookcase and place plants at varying heights. An Anthurium at eye level instantly draws attention.

Choose statement plants: Instead of many small pots, choose one striking plant. A potted Anthurium in a decorative pot brings calm and visual impact.

Use multifunctional furniture: Place an Anthurium on a stool that doubles as a side table, or in an open shelving unit so the greenery is both visible and integrated.

Stick to light colours: Light reflects space. Pair a white or soft pink Anthurium with light-coloured interiors to create a fresh, airy feel.

Think beyond the obvious: In the bathroom, beside the bed or in a kitchen alcove, Anthuriums thrive in many places, as long as there’s enough natural daylight.

Cut Anthuriums: Big Impact, Minimal Space

Have very limited room? Then, a cut Anthurium in a slim vase is ideal.

  • A single flower stays beautiful for weeks
  • You can endlessly combine them
  • Change the colour now and then for a new look

Pro tip: place a cut Anthurium on a windowsill, a narrow shelf or as a centrepiece on your table. It takes up hardly any space, but makes a big difference.

Greenery in the home brings calm, character and vitality. And it doesn’t have to be big or complicated. With a few smart choices, you can transform even the smallest space into a stylish, green haven. And the Anthurium? It gets the job done without taking up much room.
