Terrariums have been quite the trend lately, and for good reasons. Forget splurging on expensive home decorations. You’ll be surprised at how sexy your space can get with these mini gardens!
What is a Terrarium?
Basically an aquarium for plants, a terrarium is a collection of plants in a transparent container. If you have lowkey wanted to be a gardener, the time is NOW!
Terrariums are a game changer in interior design. This is the perfect world where you get something nice at low cost and very little effort. If only life was that easy isn’t it? (Sigh)
The Basic Terrarium
The concept of building a gorgeous terrarium is what we refer to as a “garden”. By learning how to layer gravel stones, soil and plants, we get a contained garden that isn’t only pretty, but brimming with life!
Here’s a Quick Start to Building Your Own Terrarium:
Don’t Just Make One, Make Them in Pairs!

You’ll end up with aesthetics so pleasing to the eye!
Speaking of containers:
The Key to Terrariums, Lies in The Containers (Literally!)
Shapes play a big part in interior design. Ultimately, your containers will be the first thing you set eyes on and sets the mood of the living area.
Whether you’re playing with a minimal or contemporary theme, there’s always a shape for it.
