Embrace your space
It’s such a waste that so many homes have nothing but empty space on offer at that all important eye level. Suspending houseplants draws the eye upwards and breathes life into the top half of the room.
Hanging planters are also a brilliant way to bring foliage into a small space where table, shelf and floor space is limited. This one has the added advantage of putting your favourite plants in the spotlight (literally!).
What you’ll need:
- Round Bowl/ Sphere storage, or two similar bowls
- Wood block
- Thine wire
- Light fixture, socket and LED bulb
- Drill
- Two different drill bits (one that fits the lamp cord; one for the wire holes)
- Pliers
The perfect plant for your planter lamp
A light-loving plant that’s happy to bask in the bright light is essential, while hanging plants will look pretty, cascading from the bowl. Ticking both of those boxes is the ivy – and you can see from the picture how beautifully its foliage works with the sleek design of the lamp.
