One of the challenges of unit living is incorporating greenery into your living spaces. For those with limited space and the absence of large backyards to work with, bringing in selected indoor plants can have a dramatic uplifting effect. They can bring both a vivid splash of colour and life to key living areas.
The key to choosing the right indoor plants is to ensure you select those that take up minimal space and need minimal sun for survival.
We’ve compiled our favourite top 5 indoor plants to brighten up your indoor spaces.
