You probably think this is just another book about raising houseplants, but it isn't! Oh, there's basic information about selecting houseplants and how to take care of them here, but the real value in this book is in how to use them as a design element in your home.

What's that, you say? You kill houseplants? Guess what? I DO TOO!

We need to revolutionize how we think of houseplants. We plant annuals in the spring, knowing when frost comes around, they're toast, and we're okay with that. And think about how long a bouquet of fresh flowers lasts! Imagine if you thought of houseplants the same way. Most of them are inexpensive, readily available (even in the grocery stores!) and if you have a plant for six months, that's a fantastic value for the enjoyment you get from it. Many will last much longer, and just like it was when you learned to garden outdoors, experience is a great teacher and you'll soon be growing them as well as anyone.

"Indoor Plant Décor" is organized by eight design styles: Classic Elegance, Vintage Vibe, Haberdashery, World Beat, Cheap Chic, Modern Eclectic, Traditional Mix, and Peaceful Zen. Which one are you? Learn ways to use houseplants to accent every corner of your home, no matter which style is yours.

Included are eight DIY projects - one for each design style - with complete instructions for unexpected ways to use houseplants. There is a reference section in the back, listing plants according to how easy they are to grow and which ones contribute to improved air quality.

Amazon selected "Indoor Plant Décor: The Design Stylebook for Houseplants" as one of its Top 20 Books for 2013 in its category.
