You may have noticed in my feature on geometric-inspired items for the home that I'm a little obsessed with terrariums right now. I hadn't caught on to this trend because more of the terrariums I'd seen in real life had weird fake mushrooms or gnomes in them, and I thought a terrarium had to be a little mini-landscape. Having done some research and seen a few stunning examples online, I now know that a terrarium is a way to grow a plant in a contained mini-ecosystem, no gnomes required. Unless gnomes are your thing.
Terrariums can be traditional, giving a room a conservatory look, or modern, adding a whimsical shape and pop of green to your space.
You can use terrariums to introduce a trend like geometric shapes into your home decor...
or create a terrarium by repurposing items you already have around your home.

I really like the lantern one and want to try either one of those or a mason jar one this fall!
ReplyDeleteOooh...how fun! I love the one in the lantern, too! Must try it! Hugs...Debbie
ReplyDeleteI think that one is becoming my favorite, and I feel like lanterns are always available at places like TJ Maxx and Ross.
DeleteI love terrariums - especially the mason jar and lantern!
