What Does an Interior Plant Designer Do?
Behind the Design Process at Lauren and Plants
What Does an Interior Plant Designer Do?
When most people think about interior plant design, they picture the finished result. A beautiful Monstera in the perfect corner or a statement tree that transforms an entire room.
What they don't see is everything that happens before a single plant is placed.
At Lauren and Plants, every project begins with understanding the home, the client, and the lifestyle that will shape the design. Interior plant design isn't about filling empty spaces with greenery. It's about creating a collection that feels intentional, complements the architecture, and fits naturally into the way you live.
Every Design Starts With the Client
No two homes are the same, and no two clients are either.
Before recommending a single plant, we take time to understand your personality, your experience with plant care, your daily routine, and your design style.
Some clients love collecting rare plants and enjoy spending time caring for them. Others want a beautiful space with plants that require very little maintenance.
Neither approach is right or wrong. The goal is to create a plant collection that fits your lifestyle while enhancing your home.
Studying the Space
Plants should never feel like an afterthought.
During an interior plant consultation, we evaluate natural light, room layout, ceiling height, existing furnishings, architectural details, and the overall flow of the space.
These elements help determine not only which plants will thrive, but also how they will contribute to the overall design.
A well-designed plant collection feels like it has always belonged there.
Choosing the Right Plants and Planters
Plant selection is only part of the process.
Every planter is carefully chosen based on scale, material, texture, color, and proportion.
Sometimes two different planter options can work beautifully within the same space while creating completely different moods. The role of an interior plant designer is to curate options that align with the client's vision and help guide those design decisions.
Plants and planters should work together as one cohesive design.
Sourcing With Intention
One of our favorite parts of every project is sourcing.
Finding the right plants often means visiting local greenhouses, while selecting the perfect vessels may involve sourcing from specialty pottery suppliers or artisan collections.
Every plant and planter is selected with purpose to support the overall design.
Rather than purchasing whatever happens to be available, we curate pieces that fit the space, the client, and the vision.
The Details Make the Difference
Healthy foliage.
Interesting textures.
Beautiful pottery.
Layered heights.
Natural movement.
These details may seem small on their own, but together they create spaces that feel balanced, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed.
Great interior plant design is often less about adding more plants and more about choosing the right ones.
