7 Easy Ways to Style Faux Greenery at Home

31 October 2026 · CRAFO

Not everyone has green fingers, or the light, for real plants. Good-quality faux greenery adds colour and softness to any room and never needs watering. Here are seven easy ways to use it.

1. A mantel or shelf garland

Drape an ivy or eucalyptus garland along a mantelpiece, bookshelf or headboard. Let one end trail down for a relaxed look.

2. A simple vase of stems

Three to five tall eucalyptus or fern stems in a clear glass vase look clean and modern. Add a few artificial flowers for seasonal colour.

3. A table runner

Lay a leaf garland down the middle of a dining table with candles in holders. It's perfect for dinner parties, weddings and Christmas.

4. A wreath for any season

Wire greenery onto a ring for a door wreath. Swap in flowers or ribbons to change it with the seasons.

5. Hanging trails

Trailing vines in a hanging pot or along a curtain pole bring height and softness to a room.

6. Desk and bathroom plants

Small potted faux plants are ideal for windowless bathrooms and offices where real plants struggle.

7. Party and wedding décor

Greenery is the secret to beautiful flower arches and balloon garlands. Tuck stems into the gaps for a natural, finished look.

Care tips

• Fluff and bend the leaves when you unpack them; they arrive flattened.
• Dust with a soft brush or hairdryer on the cool setting, or rinse plastic stems gently and let them dry.
• Keep them out of strong, direct sun, which can fade colours over time.
