Has your indoor plant obsession grown out of control? We don\u2019t blame you. Not only are houseplants fantastic air purifiers<\/a>, studies have shown they boost concentration and productivity. On top of that, they look nice. They\u2019re basically the best roommates ever.<\/p>\n

When it comes to house plants, more is more. And as your collection grows, so too does the opportunity to make a stylish display. Enter the plant shelfie. We culled the wildly popular Instagram hashtag for the 11 best styling tips that will take your plant collection to new heights.<\/p>\n\n

1. Plantify an IKEA pot rack.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>Photo: plantbabystudio\/Instagram\u00a0<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

This is my own plant shelfie, so I suppose it\u2019s also a plant selfie. I spray painted a stainless steel IKEA pot rack <\/a>white, then hung macrame plant hangers from s-hooks with plants on top.<\/p>\n

2. Show them the light.<\/h2>\n

These plants are living their best lives in front of this window. And they\u2019ll offer you some privacy. Win-win.<\/p>\n

3. Stairway to heaven.<\/h2>\n

4. Plant nooks for life.<\/h2>\n

We might have to start a new hashtag called #PlantNook because this is just too perfect.<\/p>\n

5. Have a kitchen party.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>Photo: thejungalow\/Instagram\u00a0<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Too many cooks in the kitchen? A problem. Too many plants in the kitchen? Impossible.<\/p>\n

6. Go monochrome.<\/h2>\n

A salon in London <\/a>has made waves in the indoor jungle world with this monochromatic plant wall.<\/p>\n

Step it up by styling your plants on a ladder.<\/p>\n

8. WFH (Water From Home).<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>Photo: homebyfousna\/Instagram\u00a0<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Read a report, hop on a conference call, send some emails, lovingly stare at your plants. The formula for a perfect work from home day.<\/p>\n

9. Dress up the couch.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>Photo: my_green_home_and_me\/Instagram<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Hang a shelf or two behind your couch for the perfect high-impact statement wall.<\/p>\n

10. Disguise the TV.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>Photo: plantsomeplants\/Instagram<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

These plant shelves literally camouflage the eye-sore in your living room (aka your television).<\/p>\n

11. Pair cacti with rattan furniture for instant cool.<\/h2>\n
