Default Frugal silk plants? Or real house plants?

1. paint your walls something besides white... dont leave the ceiling white. If you
cant paint, look for wall hangings even material glued to a rod can work wonders
2. corner etageres can hold collections of interesting things
3. make a corner vignette use a cushy stuffed chair and table, with a torchiere
behind it. put a couch at an angle to the corner and put the torchiere behind that
and a table holding a smaller real or fake plant.
4. get a real or fake large plant and use a can up light to put shadows on the wall
and ceiling, it doubles and triples the size.
5. combine real with fake plants so there isnt so much to take care of. Cyperus is
like papyrus. It does really well in one of those big oriental looking ceramic
containers with some light. even a nice hanging light with a round fluorescent
lights. just fill it with water every week or so and will do great. this is a
great time of year to find them at water gardening places... they are on sale in the
north cause they wont over winter outside.
