Hang Mirrors to reflect light making the small space look bigger and brighter – an oversize mirror or small pieces in salon style.

Bonsai for the interiors



Bonsai is the Japanese art form. It means growing miniature trees of original versions – oranges, peach, pear, banyan, bamboo etc. They are grown in beautiful containers and are very popular in the world.  The original plant is carefully cut, shaped including the roots so it can remain small and yet retain the original shape. Bonsai can be used inside and outside the homes.
The bonsai trees are displayed on gravel floor or window facing benches. The sun pours in through the windows, or skylights and are an ideal place for growing the bonsai plants.
A bonsai tree is a nice addition to the living room and can be displayed on the side table, shelf, where it stands out and will be the focal point of the room giving it a Zen ambiance.
Bonsai trees are meant to stay small and what better place than one in your home. The proportions of the bonsai maintain a balance and cohesiveness of the décor. Bonsai is minimalist and modern and gives the place a fresh and soothing look and vibe.
A center piece may balance a stunning chandelier. A bonsai may lift the mood of the room, making it look different and create an air of calmness. Bonsai can provide a relaxing hobby while trimming the miniature branches to look like the silhouette of the original.  
A single piece of bonsai commands the attention of everyone who enters the room.  But keep them out of reach of pets and children. They will most probably ruin the plant due to curiosity and also because many of these plants are toxic for both children and pets.
Bonsai trees will catch your eye as a stand alone or in group of threes; you could almost have a small forest or yourself.
