A living room media wall

Can plants frame a television without being stranded in shade?

4 individually potted plants. Select any photograph to open that plant's existing guide.

Placement and growing conditions

Why this group works here.

Use the window side of the room and let plants frame furniture rather than stand behind a hot screen. Keep watering away from cables and leave vents clear. If the media wall is dark, place the growing display elsewhere and use the rest of the room's layout to connect it visually.

The message behind the grouping

Meaning, with a little thought.

A broad leaf anchor, a slender line, and a trailing detail can soften the geometry of furniture. Their role is visual balance, not an effect on electronics or radiation.

Rubber Tree
In this design: durability and resolve.
Broad glossy leaves offer a strong visual anchor; keep the crown lit from more than one direction.
Madagascar Dragon Tree
In this design: clear direction.
Slender stems and narrow leaves work as a vertical punctuation mark rather than a dense screen.
Dwarf Umbrella Tree
In this design: connection and shared effort.
Its radiating leaflets make a rounded counterpoint to upright furniture and linear shelves.
Goldfish Plant
In this design: playfulness and curiosity.
A short trailing outline brings movement at shelf level while remaining clear of work surfaces.
