Things To Consider Before Hanging Plants
It may seem like you can hang plants anywhere in your room but there are certain plants that may require extra attention.
These are the factors you should consider before choosing a location and type of plant to hang.
Water
Before purchasing a hanging plant, find out how many times you would need to water this plant in order for it to thrive in this location.
You’ll then want to know exactly how much water to feed this plant so that it will grow.
Light
There are a few plants that can thrive with minimal natural light but most indoor plants will need an appropriate amount of light to survive.
You’ll want to do a bit of research into the specific plant that you will hang as each one is different.
This will also help you determine if the place you’ve chosen is ideal.
Humidity
The next thing you’ll want to determine is the humidity.
Will you need to spray the plant with water a few times a day or will you need to invest in a humidifier?
Most indoor plants can thrive under most conditions but it’s always a good idea to know your plants if you want them around for a long time.

Best Places To Hang Plants
Now we can take a closer look at the best places to hang plants in your bedroom.
1. Next To A Window
When it comes to natural light, hanging a plant next to the window will be the most ideal spot as long as it’s not overexposed to sunlight.
The plants also tend to look much nicer next to the window and it creates the perfect morning ritual to get up, water the plants, and breathe some fresh air.
2. Above The Bed
If you have a small apartment or room, using the space above your bed is fantastic.
You can hang as many plants as you’d like above your bed and it makes your decor have this aesthetically pleasing look and feel to it.
The great thing about this idea is that you can pair it with a mounted shelf and decorate it with other ornaments, creating a beautiful display in your room.
One more thing, please be certain that these wall hangings and plants are secured properly to the walls so that they won’t fall on you.

3. Next To The Bed
You can easily attach a hanging plant right next to your bed to hang from the ceiling.
This option is great if you feel uneasy to have a plant directly hanging above your head. This placement will also make your room decor look just as good.
4. On A Wall
If you have a few framed artworks or pictures, you can add these hanging plants to the wall for an extra feature.
By doing so, you’ll love the end result and you’re not limited in terms of how many plants to hang on this wall since it will look even better with an abundance of beautiful plants.
5. Corner of Room
Empty corners of a bedroom always need something and a great option to fill up that blank space is to use hanging plants.
Here you can add as many plants as you’d like and you don’t necessarily need to only hang a plant from the ceiling in the corner.
You can place a few more potted plants on the floor instead and this will make your room look and feel peaceful.

6. On A Shelf
Try hanging a plant either on a bookshelf or you can attach a plant to hang from a mounted shelf.
This way, you won’t need to drill holes into the walls to hang these plants but instead attach a hook to the shelf as a means to hold the plant.
7. On A Trellis
You can consider attaching a metal grid trellis to your wall and then hang a few potted plants on it.
This makes a lovely extra feature for your bedroom wall decor and you may decorate this wall grid with other items too like family photos, pictures, or inspirational quotes.
How To Hang Plants In Your Bedroom
For those that need a few tips on how to actually hang these plants, here’s what you need to do:
Drilling
The first method requires drilling. You’ll need to drill a hole into the ceiling or wall where your hanging plant will be placed.
Then you’ll have to attach a screw so that the plant can hang from it. Make sure that it’s sturdy and can handle the weight of the plant or basket that it sits in.
Here’s a great demonstration by Bunnings Warehouse for hanging indoor plants:
No Drill Methods
The next option is for those who prefer not to drill holes into the walls:
- Suction Cups – You can buy suction cups that can be used to mount these pot plants onto the windows instead.
- Magnets – Use magnets to hang the plants on the walls or any place you would like to hang your plants.
- Adhesive Hooks – These hooks are great to hang plants and other objects since one side of the hook has a sticky back which can be placed on any surface.
Conclusion
There are plenty of places you can hang a plant that will look amazing and you don’t necessarily have to choose just one.
You can always up to your game by adding 2-3 hanging plants in different locations to create your dream decor.
It won’t hurt your interior decor in any way if you add a variety of plants but instead, hanging plants will only add and maximize your living space.
