The Bold Indoor Plant Trend Taking Over Interiors in 2025

The Bold Indoor Plant Trend Taking Over Interiors in 2025

If you’ve been thinking about giving your indoor space a little refresh, here’s some exciting news: 2025 is all about going BIG and BOLD!

Yes, we’re talking about oversized houseplants that bring drama, beauty, and a touch of the wild into your home. Gone are the days of delicate succulents and tiny terrariums, this year, it’s all about plants that make a statement.

Large house plants are perfectly aligned with the vibrant interior trend that’s emerging for 2025, where bright colours and large-scale decor are taking centre stage. Think rich magentas, deep purples, and luxurious burgundies, tones that create warmth and depth. And what better way to complement these bold hues than with equally dramatic greenery? Big, sculptural plants are stepping into the spotlight, proving that nature itself can be a powerful design element.

Why Big Indoor Plants Are the Ultimate Statement Piece

Jo, founder of Beards & Daisies, puts it perfectly: "We're seeing a real shift towards self-expression in interiors for 2025, with people choosing statement plants as focal points. Pairing large, architectural greenery like a Monstera Deliciosa with richly coloured pots or stands allows you to embrace the trend while adding a personal touch to your home. It’s all about creating spaces that feel unique, vibrant, and uplifting.”

And she’s absolutely right! Tall house plants don’t just look good—they transform a space, adding height, drama, and a lush, fresh feel. A well-placed plant can soften harsh corners, add a pop of green against bold walls, or even create a natural room divider. The best part? They work in every indoor space, whether you’re into minimalist chic or maximalist glam.

Meet the 2025 Plant Superstars

So, what are the best indoor plants for this year? Here are a few giants that are ready to steal the show:

1. Monstera Deliciosa (Swiss Cheese Plant)

An all-time favourite that’s not going anywhere! With its large, fenestrated leaves, the Monstera brings instant tropical vibes. It thrives in bright, indirect light and loves to stretch its stems outward, so make sure it has room to shine.

2. Strelitzia Nicolai (Giant Bird of Paradise)
XL Bird of Paradise

If you want serious height, this is your plant! Growing up to six feet indoors, the XL Bird of Paradise boasts broad, banana-like leaves that add an exotic feel to any space. Perfect for creating that luxury, resort-style atmosphere at home.

3. Fiddle Leaf Fig (Ficus Lyrata)
Fiddle-Leaf Fig

It’s been a star for a while, and it’s still going strong! With its tall, sculptural form and glossy, violin-shaped leaves, the Fiddle Leaf Fig remains a go-to choice for those who love elegant, sophisticated interiors.

4. Kentia Palm (Howea Forsteriana)
XL Kentia Palm

If you’re after a softer, more relaxed look, the Kentia Palm is perfect. Its feathery fronds create a lush, jungle-like effect while adding graceful movement to a room. Plus, it’s super easy to care for!

5. Alocasia Macrorrhiza (Giant Elephant Ear)
Artificial Alocasia Colocasia

Want drama? The Alocasia delivers! Its enormous, arrow-shaped leaves are a guaranteed conversation starter, bringing a dynamic, sculptural presence to any space.

How to Style Big Plants in Your Indoor Space

Now that you know which plants to pick, let’s talk styling! Incorporating these green giants into your space is all about balance and creativity. Here are a few tips to get you started:

  • Match your pot to your décor – With bold colours making waves in 2025, why not pair your indoor house plant with a lilac, emerald green, or deep blue pot? This adds another layer of personality to your space.

  • Use them as natural dividers – Got an open-plan living area? A large and tall house plant like a Kentia Palm or Bird of Paradise can create a beautiful, organic way to separate different zones in your home.

  • Play with height – If you don’t have high ceilings, don’t worry! Choose an indoor plant stand to elevate your greenery and make it feel even more dramatic.

  • Group for impact – Want to go even bolder? Cluster multiple large plants together in different heights and textures for a jungle-chic effect.

  • Let the light guide you – Make sure to place your plants in areas where they’ll thrive. Most large plants prefer bright, indirect light, so near a window (but not in harsh direct sun) is usually best.

Caring for Your Green Giants

Of course, big plants mean big responsibilities! But don’t worry, keeping them happy isn’t as hard as it sounds. Here are a few essential care tips:

  • Water wisely – Larger houseplants don’t always need more water. Check the top two inches of soil, if it’s dry, it’s time for a drink. Overwatering is the quickest way to cause root rot.

  • Dust those leaves – Bigger leaves collect dust quickly, which can block sunlight. Give them a gentle wipe every couple of weeks to keep them healthy and looking their best.

  • Rotate for even growth – Plants naturally grow towards the light, so give them a little turn every week to keep them symmetrical.

  • Feed them well – A monthly dose of liquid fertiliser during the growing season (spring and summer) will help them stay lush and strong.

  • Go faux - If all else fails, go faux! Add textures and colour to your space without the responsibility! A realistic fake plant is just as good as the real deal.
