Residential Interior Plant Design
All residential interior plant design projects begin with a $500 design consultation. This is a strategic working session—not a sales call—used to evaluate the home, assess environmental conditions, and determine the most appropriate plant solutions for long-term success.
The consultation allows us to:
- Evaluate light, layout, airflow, and environmental conditions
- Align plant solutions with lifestyle and maintenance expectations
- Identify where live plants, preserved elements, or hybrid solutions perform best
- Establish clear design direction and next steps
This consultation ensures recommendations are accurate, appropriate, and tailored specifically to the home.
Interior Plant Design for How Homes Actually Function
Residential environments are not static. Natural light shifts throughout the day, routines change, and spaces are meant to be lived in—not staged indefinitely.
Trendy Gardener approaches residential interior plant design with a design-first, lifestyle-aware perspective, ensuring plant selections, placement, and scale feel intentional, balanced, and sustainable long-term. Every decision is informed by how the home functions in real life.

Designed for Real Residential Conditions
Homes present unique challenges—variable light, changing routines, and evolving spaces. Our residential interior plant designs are developed with these realities in mind.
When live plants are not the right fit for a specific area, we guide homeowners toward alternative biophilic solutions, such as preserved moss features or hybrid installations, that deliver equal impact with better long-term performance.
The priority is always a solution that works for the home.
