13 Beautiful Botanical Bedrooms

Dec 23, 2014

Indoor plants are helpful in so many ways. They clean the air we breathe. They add a sense of permanence to our homes. They bring texture and color to any room. Yup, it’s preeeetty obvious that we love our plants. And since we love them so much, why not expand their leafy reign in your home? Get inspired with these 13 beautiful botanical bedrooms.

1. Hanging Plants: Keep those precious leaves away from the kitty’s jaws and hang them up high. They can add a bit of color to any corner. (via Classy Clutter)

2. Bigger Greens: Go big or go home. A large plant in your bedroom can be just the kind of statement piece you need. (via The Design Chaser)

3. Reaching Vines: Looking for something a little more romantic? Creeping vines will give you that Romeo and Juliet vibe. (via Keep)

4. Varying Surfaces: Go ahead. Take up your empty dresser, nighstand and floor space with green leaves. You won’t regret it. (via Paper and Stitch)

5. Headboard Plant: Replace your headboard with a plant and you’ll wake up every morning expecting to hear the sounds of the jungle. (via Temple and Webster)

6. Variety: Don’t forget to use a variety of plants in every room. While you may love those fiddle leaf figs and indoor palms, it is important to mix it up with different types of plants for a unique look. (via Moon to Moon)

7. Pocket Plants: Put your plants in pockets and hang ’em on a wall or a screen to create the look of an outdoor villa. We recommend painting the pockets with a fun, bright color(s) for a little pizzaz. (via Cocoon Home)

8. Contrasting Colors: Most of the time, bedrooms seem to gravitate toward pale colors. Display a plant or two to add a pop that draws the eye. (via Green Muze)

9. Air Plants: For all you (accidental) plant killers out there, try these air plants that need neither soil nor water to thrive. You can’t lose. (via Design Sponge)

10. Home Unity: One great thing about plants is that including them in your whole house can help unify your look — no matter what color schemes you use. (via Old Brand New Blog)

11. Window Plants: Got some big windows in your bedroom? One, we’re jealous. Two, fill them with plants for a old timey conservatory look. (via The Design Files)

12. Tropical Plants: Don’t be afraid to go outside your horticultural zone and bring the tropics into your home. Just make sure you keep the place warm enough. (via Green Muze)

13. Loving Care: No matter where you put your greenery, just remember to give it plenty of light, water and loving care. We won’t judge if you sing to them too. (via Lovelyish)

Loungefly Gilmore Girls Icons Mini Backpack

I was absolutely gagged the first time I saw this backpack. Tiny pizza slices, both the Luke's Diner and Chilton logos, AND the gazebo? I need this, like, right now.

Sunday Best

Sunday Best Peggy Sweater

Consider this white cable knit sweaterthe Rory Gilmore sweater for the season. I cannot stop wearing mine. It's super soft and the perfect medium weight (meaning you won't be cold but you also won't feel weighed down). It's also not itchy at all. I love wearing it with jeans, or tucked into trousers or a skirt.

Amazon

Cotton Baseball Hat

For a more subtle nod to the fashion on the show, a blue baseball cap gives major Luke Danes vibes without having to walk around wearing Gilmore Girls merchandise. Wear it with a crewneck and oversized coat now (hello '90s "It" girl!) and a tee shirt come spring.

Book of the Month

Book of the Month

Channel your inner Rory with the Book of the Month subscription service. The cool part about someone else picking out the books is that you'll find titles — and authors — you didn't even know to look for.

Nordstrom

Angelina Jolie Finally Opened Up About Her "Extremely Private" Kids & Motherhood

Angelina Jolie has always been mother — but she's also a literal mother to six kids whom she clearly cares about fiercely. Since she first adopted Zahara, Maddox, and Pax to giving birth to Vivienne and Knox, it's always been evident that her children are her entire world. While she rarely talks about her children (especially given her highly contested divorce at the moment), Angelina shared a little slice of her feelings on motherhood, insights on her children, and more with Good Morning America.

Here's what Angelina Jolie had to say about her kids — including which one of them is the most private!

Angelina opened up about her feelings for her family while chatting about her new movie Maria with Good Morning Americaon November 21, 2024. Host Michael Strahan asked Angie about if there's anything she loves as much as her character loves singing, and she replied that it's her "motherhood."

"It’s my happiness. You can take everything else away from me," she said. "I could — nothing else matters."

When asked about her sons' involvement in Maria, Angelina explained that despite their involvement behind the scenes, they're very uninterested in a life in the spotlight. She said, "None of my children want to be in front of the camera. They're quite private."

Angelina elaborated, "Shiloh's extremely private. They weren't born with privacy, so I hope they can have that."

This interview comes after Angelina and Knox attended the Governor's Awards with her on November 18, 2024. His rare appearance shocked so many — including Brad. Daily Mail reported that Pitt found the timing "suspicious."

The source said, "'She is trying to get under his skin after his recent win and using Knox to do so is odd. Knox wants nothing to do with Hollywood and has no communication with Brad."

Despite the weirdness, the source also said, "He [Brad] believes that, in time, his children will come back into his life."

How many kids does Angelina Jolie have?

Angelina Jolie has six children. She adopted Zahara, Maddox, and Pax, and later gave birth to Vivienne and Shiloh. She shares her children with Brad Pitt, most of whom aren't on good terms with him at the moment.
