We spend most of our time indoors, breathing in air that may not be the best for us. Unfiltered indoor air is often filled with pollutants and harmful toxins such as formaldehyde and ammonia which can lead to pesky respiratory issues and irritate our eyes. One of the best ways to reduce the amount of airborne toxins in your home is to invite plants into your living space! As one of the biggest home decor trends, there’s no limit to the amount of ways that you can spruce up your home while also creating a healthy environment.
NASA recently conducted a study that showed how plants can greatly improve the air quality of indoor spaces by filtering out dangerous toxins. We’ve rounded up 10 lush, beautiful plants that will liven up your home and let you breathe easy!
