Thick leaves, smooth surfaces, spidery appendages, the succulent is as varied as it is beautiful. Coming in an array of colors, shapes and textures, these popular plants are an intriguing, almost sculptural addition to your décor. Not only do succulents add color and life to their surroundings, they are also easy to care for, making them perfect for those who are horticulturally challenged. (Or if you have a true phobia of plant care, there are amazingly lifelike artificial succulents flooding the market.)
Here are a few ideas for how you can use them in your décor!
Using succulents in your centerpiece is both beautiful and easy!
We created the beautiful display above using our Abacco teak and aluminum bowls (10224-2 & 10227).
Whether using traditional or whimsical containers, all you need is a little sand, some pebbles and a few succulents or air plants and voila!

No garden? No problem! With terrariums and low-maintenance succulents you can create a mini-garden anywhere – on a table top or hanging from the ceiling.
Above: The Laila large terrarium is a beautiful container for succulents (60334), and the Lorren galvanized organizer (65456) creates a textural accent to the plants’ thick waxy leaves and other natural elements.
Below left: From our Nakasa line, the Nordom glass decorative boxes (31525-3) make a hanging garden when suspended in multiples. Below right: Our Oliver flower pots (25602-3) can be mounted on a wall or set on a table top for a pocket of green.
Use succulents in non-traditional containers to add intrigue to a centerpiece or display.
