News flash! Faux plants are OKAY now. Yes. You read that right. Not just okay, they’re making a huge style comeback, and it’s my opinion that every room needs at least 3 indoor plants. Real plants are great, but not everyone wants to care for them.
I use plants, occasionally real, but usually fake, in just about every space I design- even bathrooms and kids’ rooms!. You can check out my tips for decorating with plants HERE.
The key to choosing real-looking faux plants is generally to see them in person. But sometimes that’s not possible. Especially right now when stores are closed!
So I’m giving you a list of my favorite go-to artificial indoor plants. These are all plants that I have in my own home, I’ve used in client’s homes, or at the very least I’ve seen and felt them in person, so I can vouch for their quality. I’ll continue to add to this list as my collection grows.

I hope that’s helpful! I’ve been very impressed with most of Target’s faux plants in the past couple of years. I also really like a lot of Ikea’s plants- especially the ones mentioned above. But their larger artificial plants are hit and miss. I recommend looking at those ones in person.
Do you have a favorite faux (or real) indoor plant? Tell me about it in the comments! I would love to add to this list!

I love all the plants you have listed here. I am not a green thumb type of girl. I like the thought of having it green without having to work with them. If you purchase a nice plant it could look like a real live plant.
Thanks Terrie! Absolutely! I’m definitely in a stage of life where I’m looking for fewer things to maintain and mess with all the time! Go for faux!
