The most interesting décor is never completely still.
A stem stretches toward the light. A bud begins to open. A flower quietly transforms a room. This is the beauty of living décor: it doesn’t simply occupy a space—it changes within it.
Living décor may sound like a new design trend, but celebrated decorators have relied on it for decades.
Designer Bunny Williams has long treated plants as part of a room’s collection—moving small specimens to dining tables, guest bathrooms and other unexpected places. In winter, she particularly enjoys decorating with paperwhites and amaryllis. Miles Redd similarly believes that every room benefits from a little greenery because it makes the space feel alive.
Their approach offers an important distinction: a plant shouldn’t be added simply to fill an empty corner. It can be styled as intentionally as a piece of art, an antique or a favorite object.
What makes living décor different, however, is that it never remains exactly as you placed it. It grows, opens and continually introduces something new to the room.
Living décor is the art of styling with plants, flowers and growing objects as thoughtfully as you would a favorite vase, piece of art or collected treasure. It brings color and texture into a room, but it also adds something traditional décor cannot: anticipation.
Few plants capture that idea more beautifully than a waxed amaryllis bulb.
With no planting and no watering required, the bulb contains everything it needs to grow and bloom. Place it on a mantel, dining table, kitchen island, bedside table or desk—and then enjoy watching it become part of the room.
How to Style Living Décor
Let one piece make a statement.
A single amaryllis bulb placed on a stack of books, a small tray or a console table can have the presence of a sculptural object.
Create a collection.
Group three bulbs in complementary colors or finishes. Vary their heights slightly and keep the rest of the arrangement simple, allowing the blooms to become the centerpiece.
Use plants where you least expect them.
Living décor doesn’t belong only on the windowsill. Add a small plant to a bookshelf, place a garden beside the coffee station or use an amaryllis bulb to bring life to a guest room.
Decorate for the season.
Choose finishes that echo your fall or holiday palette, then layer in natural elements such as moss, pinecones, branches or a favorite ribbon. Keep the arrangement loose and collected rather than overly styled.
When Living Décor Becomes Living Art
Our limited-edition Bloomitures™ take the idea one step further. Each amaryllis bulb is hand-molded and hand-painted to become a playful work of living art.
A ghost, jack-o’-lantern or skeleton begins as seasonal décor. Then the stem emerges, the buds appear and brilliant Sovereign amaryllis flowers rise from the sculpture. The decoration doesn’t remain frozen in time—it puts on a show.
That may be what makes living décor so captivating. It gives us something beautiful for today and something new to look forward to tomorrow.
Because the best rooms aren’t simply decorated.
They’re alive.
