Adding a plant into your apartment’s decor is a great way to make your space more welcoming. Keeping those plants alive, however, can be easier said than done. Most of us are busy with life, work, and family, and many times caring for a plant isn’t at the top of our lists. If you are looking to add a plan into your apartment's decor, here are three easy ones to consider.
ZZ Plant: these are on the large side and would look great in your living space. They require little sunlight and can be placed in the darkest areas of your apartment.

 

Ponytail Palm: this is a Mexican plant that only needs to be watered once a week. Even the worst plant owners can keep this guy alive.

 

Pothos: the pothos is a hanging basket plant that requires little care but also helps purify toxins from the air. What’s not to love about this little guy?

Let’s take your focus off cooking for a little bit–don’t worry, it will get done–and starting thinking about how you plan to decorate for the upcoming holiday. Updating your decor for Thanksgiving doesn’t have to be expensive and you can make many of the items yourself. Here are a few great decorating ideas to try in your apartment.

Thinking about your utensils and tableware. Try ditching the paper towels for actual fabric kind. That small addition will set the tone that Thanksgiving is an important meal.

Even if you do not have a mantel, create a Thanksgiving for harvest decor area by throwing some pumpkins and foliage down as decorations.

Use candles to set the tone and correct ambiance for the evening. The candles do not have to be at the dinner table, but instead spread them around the house.

Here are three simple ways to create a “spring” feel with your Los Angeles apartment’s décor over the next few months.
 

Centerpieces: can drastically change the look and feel of a table without doing much. Look for a plant centerpiece like wheatgrass or even something made out of tree stumps.

Accents: adding accents pieces are the easiest way to implement a spring look. Try using a plant as a centerpiece or purchasing floral chair covers. Small changes can go a long way.

Decorate the door: instead of a winter wreath, try adding a basket with plants or petunias. The glowing fines will instantly scream spring to any guess entering your home.
