Size Envy: Oversize Foliage

Something I’ve been seeing over and over again the last year or so now is the use of oversize foliage instead of traditional indoor plants or floral arrangements. I am drawn to it as a way to make a dramatic statement in a space with relatively little effort (or expense).  It is also a fantastic way to change up your décor on a seasonal basis, going from large palm fronds or banana leaves to dried leaves on branches, etc. See below for some fantastic examples of how to incorporate this trend into your space (these also give you a better sense of scale, and an idea of just how dramatic this look can be):

I’ve hand-picked some favorite, and also super affordable, selections here, here, here and here, to help you incorporate this trend into your own décor. Whether you chose real or faux, these are sure to add a sophisticated feel to your space.  Add these to a vase on your fireplace mantle, dresser top, sideboard, or as a stunning centerpiece on your dining table. And did I mention it’s cruelty-free?
