While there is no doubt that I am a 100% passionate and committed lover and follower of all things interior and certainly feel right at home in the world of bedheads, beds and anything upholstery, exteriors are not my strongest point. Flowers I love, greenery in a vase is totally my thing but I have to confess that plants (inside or out) I find ever so slightly scary. Green-fingered I am not and, while I love to admire gardens and anything nature has to offer, this means I am often stumped when offering BedNest customers advice on how to bring greenery into their homes.

There are 3 friends from the plant world that I fall back on every time and they ALWAYS work if the space is right......

Mondo grass (especially the black ones)

Fiddle Leaf Fig (hard to find but so beautiful)

Terrarium (especially those with gorgeous succulents)

Try Glasslands

Surely every home/courtyard/deck can bed enhanced by adding one of these gorgeous greenies?

And just by the by, how about this image for an unbelievable garden - it belongs to Hollywood Interior Designer Mark D Sikes - someone who obviously has no dramas with garden design or plants!
