No maintenance required
We love plants, but let’s face it – they can be a handful. That’s where faux plants shine. They need no watering, no pruning, and no fussing. You won’t have to worry about soil, fertiliser, or pest control.
These artificial beauties stay perfect all year round, without any effort on your part.

Faux plants give you the freedom to decorate without limits. They’re a stress-free way to bring the outdoors in, letting you enjoy greenery without the work.
Allergy-friendly
Moving from low-maintenance to health benefits, faux plants offer a great solution for allergy sufferers. Unlike real plants, artificial ones don’t produce pollen or other allergens.
This makes them perfect for Aussies who love greenery but struggle with hay fever or asthma.
Our homes should be safe havens, free from triggers that cause sneezing or wheezing. Faux plants let us enjoy lush, green spaces without worry. They’re ideal for bedrooms, where we spend lots of time, or shared areas where guests might have sensitivities.
Artificial plants also don’t harbour mould or attract dust mites like some live plants can. This means cleaner air and fewer allergy flare-ups. For plant lovers with pets, faux options remove the risk of toxic leaves or flowers that could harm furry friends.
It’s a win-win for everyone in the household.
Long-lasting decor
We love how faux plants offer lasting beauty to our homes. Unlike real plants, these artificial wonders keep their looks for years without wilting. They stay fresh and vibrant, adding a touch of nature to our spaces day after day.
With proper care, quality faux plants can grace our homes for 3 to 5 years or more.
Faux plants give us the freedom to decorate without worry. We can place them in spots where real plants might struggle, like dark corners or busy areas. They’re perfect for Aussies who want greenery but lack time for plant care.
Plus, we can mix and match different types of artificial indoor plants to create stunning flower arrangements that never fade. Let’s explore how to choose the right faux plant for your space.
Popular Types of Faux Indoor Plants
Faux indoor plants come in many shapes and sizes. From small desk plants to tall floor trees, there’s a fake plant for every space.
Ferns and houseplants
We love ferns and houseplants for their lush, green appeal. These classic indoor plants bring a touch of nature to any room. Faux versions offer the same beauty without the fuss. They’re perfect for busy Aussies who want a bit of greenery but lack time for plant care.
Our top picks include Boston ferns and spider plants. These artificial beauties look just like the real thing. The fronds of fake ferns are soft and lifelike. Faux spider plants have long, arching leaves that add movement to your space.
We’ve seen these in many retail spaces and homes across Australia.
For a tropical vibe, we recommend artificial monstera plants. Their large, split leaves make a bold statement in any room. Fig leaf plants are another great choice for adding height and fullness.
These faux plants are so realistic, your mates might not even notice they’re not real!
Succulents
Succulents are favourites among indoor faux plants. These water-storing wonders come in a vast array of shapes and sizes. From plump echeverias to spiky aloes, there’s a faux succulent for every taste.
We’ve noticed a rise in their popularity, especially in Aussie homes and offices.
Faux succulents offer an easy way to green up any space. They’re perfect for bathrooms and kitchens where real plants might struggle. Plus, they’re a great choice for those of us who travel often or have busy lives.
No need to worry about watering schedules or sunlight needs.
Faux succulents bring the beauty of nature indoors without the worry of maintenance.
These lifelike replicas can fool even the keenest eye. High-quality faux succulents mimic the waxy texture and subtle colour variations of their living counterparts. They’re a top choice for creating eye-catching terrariums or desk gardens.
Next, we’ll explore large statement pieces in faux plants.
Large statement pieces
Large statement pieces can truly transform a room. We love using big faux trees or tall plants to create a wow factor. These eye-catching items draw attention and add a touch of nature to any space.
Artificial yucca or bamboo plants work great for this purpose. They’re perfect for filling empty corners or creating natural dividers in open-plan areas.
Quality is key when choosing large faux plants. We always look for pieces with realistic textures and colours. The best ones have leaves that feel like the real thing. Some even come with natural wood trunks for added authenticity.
Next, let’s explore how to pick the right faux plant for your home.
Guide to Selecting the Right Faux Plant for Your Space
Picking the perfect faux plant for your home isn’t just about looks. We’ll show you how to match size, style, and quality to create a stunning green space. Read on to learn our top tips for choosing artificial plants that will transform your home.
Consider the size of the area
We know how important it is to pick the right size faux plant for your space. A tiny succulent might get lost in a large living room, while a towering palm could overwhelm a small bathroom.
That’s why we always measure the area before choosing our greenery. We look at the height, width, and depth available to ensure our new plant fits perfectly.
For bigger spaces like lounges or entryways, we love statement pieces. The Heneken Potted Plant at 150cm tall makes a stunning focal point. It’s now on sale for $139.99, down from $199.99.
In smaller nooks or on shelves, we opt for compact options like artificial succulents or small ferns. These add a touch of green without taking up too much room.
The right plant in the right place can transform a room from dull to delightful.
We also think about the visual weight of the plant. Leafy, full plants like the Areca Palm (160cm, now $139.99) can fill empty corners beautifully. For narrow spaces, we choose slender plants like bamboo or snake plants.
By matching the plant’s size to the area, we create a balanced, natural-looking display that enhances our home’s beauty.
Match the plant style with your home decor
After considering size, let’s explore how to match your faux plants with your home’s style. This step is crucial to creating a space that feels cohesive and natural.
We appreciate how faux plants can complement any decor theme. For a coastal vibe, consider adding some artificial palms or ferns. These plants bring a beachy feel without the maintenance of real ones.
If you prefer earth tones, opt for fake succulents or cacti. They add a touch of desert charm to any room. The aim is to make your faux plants appear as if they belong.
Feel free to experiment with combinations. Pair a sleek, modern pot with a lush, leafy plant for contrast. Or, place a rustic planter next to a minimalist fake tree. The right combination can enhance your space.
Just keep your overall style in mind as you choose. This way, your new faux plants will seamlessly integrate into your Aussie abode.
Assess the quality of materials used
We always check the materials used in faux plants. High-quality options often use real-touch technology. This makes leaves and stems feel like actual plants. We look for UV-resistant materials too.
These keep colours bright and stop fading over time.
Good faux plants should look real from a distance. Up close, we inspect the details. Stems should be sturdy but flexible. Leaves need varied shades and textures. The best fake plants mimic nature’s imperfections.
They’re not too perfect or uniform.
Top Picks for Lifelike Faux Plants
We’ve picked the cream of the crop in faux plants for you. These top choices will wow your guests and bring life to any room.
Areca Palm Real Touch
We love the Areca Palm Real Touch for its lifelike beauty. This faux plant brings a tropical vibe to any room without the fuss of real palms. Its fronds look and feel just like the real thing, thanks to high-quality materials and craftsmanship.
Our team finds this artificial palm perfect for Aussie homes and offices. It thrives in any light condition and never needs watering or pruning. The Areca Palm Real Touch stands tall at about 1.5 metres, making it a great focal point.
We’ve seen it transform dull corners into lush, inviting spaces.
For plant lovers who want a touch of green without the work, this palm is a top pick. It’s priced at $139.99, down from $199.99. Linen Lovers can grab it for even less at $125.99. This fake indoor plant offers great value, lasting for years with minimal care.
Just a quick dust now and then keeps it looking fresh and vibrant.
Large Ficus Artificial Tree
Moving from the Areca Palm, let’s talk about another popular choice – the Large Ficus Artificial Tree. This fake indoor plant stands out as a stunning focal point in any room. We’ve seen many Aussie homes transformed by these lifelike trees.
They bring a touch of nature indoors without the fuss of real plants.
Ficus trees are known for their lush, green leaves and sturdy trunks. The artificial versions capture these features perfectly. We’re impressed by how real they look – even up close! These trees come in various sizes, but the large ones make a bold statement.
They’re perfect for filling empty corners or adding height to a space.
One of our top picks is the Evergreen 6 Stem Yucca Plant. It’s 122cm tall and currently on sale for $174.99, down from $249.99. This price drop makes it a great time to add some greenery to your home.
The Yucca’s spiky leaves offer a different look from the Ficus, giving you more options to suit your style.
Artificial Monstera Plant
We love the look of Monstera plants in our homes. These big, leafy beauties add a touch of the tropics to any room. But real Monsteras can be tricky to care for. That’s where artificial Monstera plants come in handy.
They give us the same lush look without the fuss.
Our top pick for a lifelike Monstera is now on sale. The 60cm potted plant was $69.99, but you can grab it for just $48.99. It’s a great deal for a plant that’ll stay green and perfect all year round.
No watering, no pruning – just pure enjoyment of its bold, split leaves and tropical vibe.
Features of High-Quality Faux Plants
High-quality faux plants boast features that make them nearly indistinguishable from real ones. These plants use cutting-edge materials and design to mimic nature’s beauty perfectly.
Real-touch technology
We love how real-touch technology has changed fake plants. It’s a game-changer for Aussies who want the look of live plants without the fuss. This tech uses special materials to make leaves and stems feel just like real ones.
You can run your fingers over them and be amazed at how lifelike they are.
Real-touch plants, like the Areca Palm Real Touch, look great year-round. They don’t wilt or need watering, which is perfect for busy folks or those without green thumbs. These plants are made with care to match the texture, colour, and even the weight of living plants.
It’s hard to tell them apart from the real deal, even up close.
For plant lovers who can’t keep live ones, real-touch faux plants are a top choice. They bring the beauty of nature indoors without any of the work. Plus, they’re great for people with allergies or pets who might munch on real plants.
With these artificial options, everyone can enjoy a bit of green in their home.
UV resistance for colour fastness
UV resistance is a key feature in top-notch faux plants. It keeps the colours bright and true, even when exposed to sunlight. This means your fake flowers won’t fade or look worn out over time.
They’ll stay fresh and vibrant, just like the day you bought them.
Our artificial trees and indoor plants are made with special materials. These fight off the harsh Aussie sun and stop colours from fading. It’s great for those of us who want to place our faux plants near windows or in sunny spots.
We can enjoy our green friends without worry about them losing their lustre.
This UV protection is a game-changer for outdoor use too. We can now decorate our patios and balconies with lifelike plants that last. They stand up to the elements and keep their good looks season after season.
It’s a smart choice for busy gardeners who want low-maintenance beauty in their outdoor spaces.
Detailed and accurate reproduction
UV resistance keeps faux plants looking fresh. But that’s not all – we’ve got more to share about lifelike indoor plants.
We love how detailed and accurate modern faux plants are. They copy real plants down to the tiniest parts. Stems, leaves, and even flowers look just like the real thing. This makes them hard to spot as fake.
We can put these plants anywhere in our homes without worry. They’ll always look perfect, no matter the light or season. It’s a great way to add greenery without the fuss of real plants.
Decorating Different Areas of the Home
We’ll show you how to spruce up every nook of your home with faux plants. From living room focal points to bedroom accents, there’s a perfect spot for greenery in every space. Want to learn more about transforming your home with lifelike indoor plants? Keep reading!
Living room focal points
We love using faux plants to create stunning focal points in living rooms. These eye-catching pieces draw attention and set the mood for the entire space. A large artificial tree, like a Potted Green Magnolia Tree, can transform a dull corner into a lush oasis.
At 150cm tall, it’s perfect for making a bold statement without the fuss of real plant care.
Faux plants offer endless options for living room decor. We can mix and match different sizes and types to build a varied display. Small potted plants on shelves or side tables add pops of green throughout the room.
Hanging baskets filled with trailing vines create visual interest at different heights. The best part? These focal points stay fresh and vibrant all year round with no watering needed.
For a truly striking look, we suggest grouping several faux plants together. This creates a mini indoor garden that becomes the star of the living room. Choose plants with different textures and shades of green for a natural feel.
Add some decorative pots or stands to complete the look. With high-quality faux plants, guests won’t even realise they’re not real until they get up close.
Bedroom accents
Faux plants can transform our bedrooms into cozy retreats. We’ve found that adding a touch of greenery to nightstands or dressers creates a calm vibe. Smaller plants, like the Bird Nest Fern, work well in these spots.
At just 55cm tall, this potted beauty is now on sale for $41.99, down from $59.99.
For larger spaces, we love using tall faux trees in corners. They fill empty areas and add depth to the room. Hanging plants near windows or from the ceiling can also create a lush, garden-like feel.
We’ve seen how these accents can make bedrooms feel more alive and peaceful.
Faux succulents are perfect for bedroom shelves or desks. They add a pop of colour without taking up much space. We find that mixing different types of fake plants gives the room a more natural look.
With so many options, it’s easy to find the right faux plants to suit any bedroom style.
Bathroom greenery
We love adding a touch of green to our bathrooms. Faux plants work wonders in these spaces. They don’t need sunlight or water, making them perfect for humid rooms. We can place them on shelves, in corners, or even hang them from the ceiling.
Our top pick for bathroom greenery is the Rubber Fig Potted Plant. It’s now on sale for $34.99, down from $49.99. This plant looks real and adds a fresh vibe to any loo. We also like using small faux succulents on windowsills or countertops.
They’re easy to move around and clean.
Creative Uses of Faux Plants in Home Decor
Faux plants offer endless creative options for home decor. We love using them to make stunning hanging installations or to switch up our seasonal displays.
Hanging plant installations
We love hanging plant installations! They’re a great way to add greenery without taking up floor space. These eye-catching displays can transform any room into a lush oasis. We’ve seen many Aussie homes use fake indoor plants for stunning vertical gardens.
Hanging faux plants offer endless design options. You can create a cascading effect with trailing varieties or mix different types for visual interest. We’ve found that online retailers offer a wide range of artificial plants perfect for hanging.
From delicate ferns to bold philodendrons, there’s something for every style.
Our favourite part about hanging faux plants? They’re so easy to care for! No watering or pruning needed – just a quick dust now and then keeps them looking fresh. Plus, you can find high-quality options that look incredibly lifelike.
The Reed Green Grass Foxtail Plant, now $27.99 at our local florist warehouse, is a prime example of affordable, realistic greenery.
Seasonal decor changes
Changing up our decor with the seasons is a fun way to keep our homes fresh and lively. Faux plants offer a great chance to do this without breaking the bank. We can swap out different types of greenery to match each season’s mood.
For spring, we might add bright, flowery pieces. In summer, lush tropical plants can bring a holiday feel indoors. Autumn calls for warm-toned leaves and berries, while winter is perfect for evergreens and pine cones.
Our faux plants don’t have to stay in one spot all year. We can move them around to create new looks as the weather shifts. A tall ficus might move from the living room to the patio in warmer months.
Small potted plants can hop from windowsills to mantels to side tables. This keeps our spaces feeling new and exciting throughout the year. Plus, it’s a chance to play with different styles and see what we like best in each part of our home.
Mixing faux plants with other seasonal items amps up the festive feel. We can pair our artificial greenery with real pumpkins in fall or fairy lights in winter. For summer, adding seashells or driftwood to planters creates a beachy vibe.
Spring might see us tucking pastel eggs among the leaves of our faux plants. These little touches make our seasonal changes feel more complete and thoughtful.
Theme-based decor setups
We love creating theme-based decor setups with faux plants. It’s a fun way to bring new life to any room. For a Green Edit theme, we mix different shades of green faux plants. We might use a tall artificial fiddle leaf fig tree as a focal point, then add smaller faux ferns and succulents around it.
This creates a lush, jungle-like feel that’s perfect for a living room or bedroom.
Coastal Edit themes are another favourite of ours. We use faux plants that mimic seaside flora, like artificial palms and grasses. Pairing these with blue and white decor items gives a beachy vibe.
Adding some driftwood or seashells completes the coastal look. These setups are great for bathrooms or sunrooms, bringing a touch of the beach indoors all year round.
Care and Maintenance Tips for Faux Plants
Faux plants need care too. We’ll show you how to keep them looking fresh and fabulous.
Dusting and cleaning methods
We love our faux plants, but they need a bit of care to stay looking fresh. Dust can build up on leaves and stems, making them look dull. A quick wipe with a soft, damp cloth once a week will keep them sparkling.
For tougher spots, we use a mix of mild soap and water. It’s best to avoid harsh chemicals that might damage the plant’s finish.
For larger faux plants or those with many leaves, we’ve found a handy trick. A hairdryer on a cool setting can blast away dust in hard-to-reach spots. Just be sure to hold it at least 15 cm away to prevent any damage.
After dusting, we give our plants a good shake to remove any loose bits. This simple step helps them look more natural and lively.
Cleaning faux plants isn’t just about looks – it’s also about health. Dust-free plants mean fewer allergens in our homes. We make it part of our regular cleaning routine, just like dusting shelves or wiping down benchtops.
With these easy methods, our faux plants stay fresh and vibrant all year round.
Storage tips for seasonal decor
After cleaning your faux plants, it’s time to think about storage. Proper storage is key to keeping your seasonal decor in top shape. Let’s explore some smart ways to pack away your artificial greenery.
For smaller faux plants, we suggest using clear plastic bins. These keep dust out and let you see what’s inside. Group similar items together and use tissue paper to wrap delicate pieces.
Larger plants need more care. We recommend covering them with old sheets or garment bags. This shields them from dust and light that could fade their colours.
Climate control is crucial for storing faux plants. A cool, dry place works best. Avoid damp basements or hot attics that might warp or damage your decor. If space is tight, try vacuum-sealed bags for soft items like wreaths.
They shrink down for easy storage and pop back to shape when opened. With these tips, your faux plants will stay fresh and ready for next season.
Handling and minor repairs
We know faux plants are tough, but they still need a bit of love now and then. Dust can build up on leaves, making them look less lifelike. A quick wipe with a damp cloth or a gentle shake outside can bring back their shine.
For stubborn marks, we use a soft brush or sponge with mild soapy water.
Sometimes, stems or leaves might come loose. No worries! We can easily fix this with a dab of hot glue or floral wire. If a leaf gets bent, we gently reshape it with our hands or use a hairdryer on low heat to soften the material.
These simple fixes keep our faux plants looking fresh and natural for years to come.
Transforming Outdoor Spaces with Faux Plants
Faux plants can turn your outdoor space into a lush oasis without the hassle of real gardening. They’re perfect for patios, balconies, and even rooftop gardens. Want to know more about sprucing up your outdoor areas with artificial greenery?
Choosing weather-resistant options
We love using faux plants to spruce up our outdoor spaces. But not all fake greenery can handle the Aussie weather. That’s why we need to pick weather-resistant options for our patios and gardens.
These tough plants can stand up to sun, rain, and wind without fading or falling apart.
For our outdoor areas, we look for faux plants made with UV-resistant materials. These special plastics and fabrics won’t lose their colour in the harsh sun. We also choose plants with strong stems and leaves that won’t break in high winds.
Some great picks include artificial bamboo, which adds a tropical feel and can create privacy screens. Fake succulents are another top choice – they look just like the real thing and can handle any weather.
To keep our outdoor faux plants looking their best, we give them a quick clean now and then. A gentle wipe with a damp cloth removes dust and dirt. We also make sure to secure them well, especially before storms.
With the right care, these weather-resistant faux plants can beautify our outdoor spaces for years to come.
Creating privacy screens
After picking weather-tough options, let’s talk about making privacy screens. These screens offer a great way to create a cosy nook in your outdoor space.
We’ve found that large artificial outdoor plants work wonders for privacy screens. They’re perfect for hiding unsightly views or creating a green barrier between you and your neighbours.
Tall faux bamboo or artificial hedges are top picks for this job. They look real, stay green all year, and don’t need watering or trimming. Plus, they’re easy to move around if you want to change your layout.
For a natural look, we mix different types of faux plants in our screens. This adds depth and makes the screen look more like a real garden wall. We also use planters of various heights to create an uneven top line.
This breaks up the ‘wall’ effect and adds visual interest. With these tips, you can craft a privacy screen that’s both useful and eye-catching.
Enhancing outdoor entertainment areas
We love sprucing up our outdoor spaces for fun gatherings. Faux plants can really jazz up patios and decks without the fuss. They’re perfect for creating cosy nooks or adding a splash of green to bare walls.
Plus, they won’t wilt in the Aussie sun!
Durable outdoor faux plants are a game-changer for our entertainment areas. They stay lush all year round, no matter the weather. We can use them to make privacy screens or as eye-catching centrepieces.
They’re also great for filling empty corners or hanging from pergolas. With these lifelike plants, we can design our dream outdoor oasis that’s always ready for a barbie or a relaxing arvo.
Insights on New Trends in Faux Plant Decor
Faux plant trends are changing fast. New ideas include eco-friendly materials and smart home features.
Eco-friendly materials in faux plants
We’re seeing a green revolution in faux plants. Eco-friendly materials are now at the forefront of artificial greenery design. Many brands use recycled plastics and biodegradable components to craft their faux foliage.
This shift helps reduce waste and lowers the carbon footprint of home decor.
Natural fibres like jute and bamboo are making their way into faux plant bases and pots. These materials offer a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic options. Some companies even use plant-based dyes for colouring leaves and stems, cutting down on harmful chemicals.
Our love for plants doesn’t have to come at Earth’s expense. With these eco-friendly options, we can enjoy lush, green spaces while being kind to our planet. Next, let’s explore how smart home tech is changing the game for faux plant enthusiasts.
Smart home integration
Moving from eco-friendly materials, let’s explore how faux plants are joining the smart home revolution. Our homes are getting smarter, and now our artificial greenery can too. We’ve seen a rise in faux plants with built-in tech features that blend seamlessly with our connected homes.
These smart faux plants come with LED lights that you can control with your phone or voice assistant. Some even have sensors that monitor air quality or humidity levels in your home.
You can set them to change colours based on the weather outside or to match your mood. It’s a fun way to add a high-tech twist to your indoor garden.
For Aussie plant lovers, these smart faux options offer a unique mix of nature and tech. They’re perfect for those who want the look of plants without the care, plus some cool gadget perks.
We think they’re great for adding a modern touch to any room, from your living area to your home office.
Customisable features for bespoke decor
We’ve seen a rise in customisable faux plants that let you create your own unique look. These plants come with adjustable stems, removable leaves, and mix-and-match pots. You can tweak them to fit your space just right.
Some even have LED lights built in, so you can change the mood with a click.
Aussie plant lovers are loving these new options. They give us the freedom to design our own green spaces without the fuss of real plants. We can swap out colours for different seasons or events, making our homes feel fresh all year round.
It’s like having a living artwork that we can change whenever we want.
Where to Buy Quality Faux Plants
Finding top-notch faux plants is easier than you might think. We’ve got the scoop on where to snag the best artificial greenery for your home.
Online retailers with extensive ranges
We love the ease of shopping for faux plants online. Many web stores offer huge selections of lifelike greenery. From small succulents to tall trees, we can find it all with a few clicks.
These online shops often have better prices than brick-and-mortar stores. They can keep costs down by not having physical shops. Plus, we get to see customer reviews and photos before buying.
This helps us pick the most realistic-looking plants.
At Adairs, we’ve found 108 different fake plants and flowers. That’s a lot of choice! We can browse through their range any time, day or night. It’s so handy to have all these options at our fingertips.
Specialty stores for unique finds
We’ve found that specialty stores offer a treasure trove of unique faux plants. These shops often stock rare and eye-catching pieces you won’t find in big-box stores. They’re perfect for plant lovers who want something special to spruce up their homes.
Many of these stores have expert staff who can guide you to the perfect faux plant. They know their stock inside out and can suggest options that match your style. For example, we spotted a stunning White Magnolia in a Ceramic Vase at one such store.
It was on sale for $90.99, down from $129.99 – a great deal for a standout piece.
These specialty shops also tend to have higher quality faux plants. They use better materials and more realistic designs. This means your artificial plants will look more lifelike and last longer.
It’s worth checking out these stores if you want to add some unique greenery to your space.
Tips for assessing quality before purchase
Moving from specialty stores to buying tips, let’s talk about how to spot top-notch faux plants. Quality matters when picking artificial greenery. We’ve got some handy tricks to help you choose the best.
Look closely at the leaves and stems. They should feel real to the touch and have natural-looking colours. Check if the plant is UV-resistant – this keeps it from fading in sunlight.
Also, give it a gentle shake. A well-made faux plant won’t shed or fall apart easily. For Linen Lovers members, there’s an extra perk. Our membership offers savings and quality assurance on many faux plant options.
