Here are three things we know to be true—succulents can liven up any space, houseplants can purify the air at home and a potted wonder is a décor must-have many homeowners love. There’s no denying the power of these green superstars—they turn the smallest of units into a resort-like haven and the biggest of homes into a cozy and safer sanctuary. Aside from the numerous benefits we get from plants, they can be given as extra special gifts, too.
Whether you’re shopping for your space or you’re on the lookout for possible surprises you can give to your friends, here are seven stores that are worth a follow. Check out their fantastic feeds and be inspired to decorate your home. Don’t blame us if you end up buying more for your space—we’re sure you’ll find a special place for your new acquisitions:
Established in 2016, Basic Commodity is a slow living lifestyle shop that offers artisanal woodcraft, plantcraft, and other lifestyle goods.
