Plants give house
green thumb look
Plants have become the
biggest "must" in home
decor, and it's no wonder.
G,reenery adds a refresh-
ing touch to any room and
,looks right with every style
of furnishings, from con-
temporary to colonial.
If you are or would like
to be a plant-lover, but
lack a green thumb, have a
home that's too dark or
drafty for plants, or just
want to fill in and bright-
en up hard-to-decorate
areas, don't despair; you
can spruce up your abode
with beautiful artificial
. houseplants.
With a bit of ingenuity,
your home can look like a
veritable Garden of Eden.
And lifelike plants are not
affected by heat, cold or
the lack of light.
To keep these plastic
beauties looking their at-
tractive best, spray them
with Glass*Pluse glass,
appliance and cabinet
cleaner, and wipe with a
clean cloth or damp
sponge during the course
of your usual housekeep-
ing schedule.
If you enjoy the look of
foliage, some of these dec-
orating tips may be just
right for your home:
• Group imitation plants
of various sizes and shapes
to camouflage ugly radia-
tors or exposed air condi-
tioners.
• Tall artificial plants
can brighten up dark cor-
ners. Install back-lighting
to cast romantic shadows
on the walls at night.
• Decorate unused fire-
places with beautiful imi-
tation plant arrange-
ments. These groupings
also can be placed on the
mantle, when the fireplace
is in use.
• Use these lifelike
plants to decorate your
vacation home and never
worry about watering
while you're away.
• Create a garden effect
in your spare room with
artificial plant groupings,
tall trees and hanging
planters. These, combined
with rattan and wicker
furniture, create a year-
round summery atmos-
phere.
