SEE FRESH ARRIVALSONE ROOM. LOTS OF JUNGLE.
Start With the Space You Want to Fill
Empty floor corner, bookshelf, side table, windowsill or somewhere for foliage to trail.
Once you know the spot, choose around the light, available room and how much plant care you actually want.
CHOOSING A LIVING ROOM PLANT
Work With the Room You Actually Have
The right plant depends on the exact place it is going to live.
Living rooms often contain several very different growing conditions. A bright space beside a window may suit a completely different plant from a corner on the other side of the room.
Check how much useful natural light reaches the exact position throughout the day.
Decide whether you need something for a shelf, side table or larger floor position.
Think beyond the plant’s current size and leave room for it to develop.
Choose something that matches how involved you realistically want to be with plant care.
GOT A BIG EMPTY CORNER?
That Could Be the Best Spot in the Room
Larger floor plants can transform an unused living room corner, but the plant still needs suitable light and enough room to grow. Measure the space, check the conditions and then go big.

A Few Things You Might Want to Know
What Are Good Houseplants for a Living Room? +
Popular choices can include Monstera, Philodendron, Ficus, palms, Pothos, snake plants, ZZ plants and other adaptable indoor plants.
The best option still depends on the light, available space and how much care you want to give it.
Are Large Houseplants Good for Living Rooms? +
Yes. Larger plants can work brilliantly where there is enough floor space and suitable light.
They can fill an otherwise empty corner and create a much stronger focal point within the room.
Explore our Large & Statement Plants collection for taller plants, mature specimens and plants with more visual impact.
What Plants Work Well on Living Room Shelves? +
Smaller plants, compact growers and trailing varieties can work really well on shelves, bookcases and side tables.
Explore our Small & Compact Plants for tighter spaces, or Trailing Jungle if you want foliage that spills down from shelves.
Can Houseplants Grow in a Darker Living Room? +
Some houseplants tolerate lower light better than others, but low light does not mean no light.
If your living room is darker or the plant will sit further from a window, explore our Low Light Plants collection for options better suited to those conditions.
What Are Good Low Maintenance Living Room Plants? +
If you want greenery without lots of ongoing attention, look for adaptable and forgiving plants that already suit the light in your room.
Explore our Easy Care Plants collection for options chosen with simpler everyday care in mind.
Can Trailing Plants Work in a Living Room? +
Absolutely. Trailing plants are a useful way to bring greenery to shelves, bookcases and higher surfaces without taking up floor space.
They can also soften larger furniture and make better use of vertical space in the room.
Explore our Trailing Jungle for hanging and cascading options.
How Do I Choose the Right Size Plant for My Living Room? +
Start with the space you want to fill.
Smaller plants are useful for shelves, side tables and tighter surfaces, while larger plants can work better in empty floor areas.
Remember to think about how much larger the plant may become, rather than choosing around its current size alone.
Can You Help Me Choose a Plant for My Living Room? +
Absolutely. Tell us how much natural light the room gets, where you want the plant to sit and roughly how much space you have.
Send us a photo, visit Oh Shoot! Plants at 52 High Street, Congleton or ask the team to help narrow down the options.
Can I Order Living Room Plants for UK Delivery? +
Yes. Many of the houseplants in this collection can be ordered online for delivery across the UK, subject to the delivery options shown on each individual product.
Check the individual plant information to make sure it suits the light, temperature and available space in your living room.
