Ready to give your space a quick, stylish upgrade, no renovation required?
Sometimes, all it takes is a few smart styling moves and the right design-forward pieces.
In this post, we’re sharing easy home styling tips that deliver instant impact using some of our favorite Braid & Wood designs: the Mixed Metal Plant Shelf, the Arches Plant Stand, the Frame Wall Planter, and the Nested Plant Stand.
Whether you’re sprucing up a shelf, decorating a blank wall, or elevating an empty corner, these simple styling ideas will help you upgrade your space effortlessly.
Tip #1 - Fill The Awkward Spaces
We all have that wall, the narrow, awkwardly placed one that always seems too tricky to style.
Instead of ignoring it, turn it into a design moment with a Plant Shelf Duo. These sleek, minimal shelves are the perfect solution for filling vertical space without overwhelming it.
The Plant Shelf Duo comes with a set of beautiful air plants that will add a pop of green and suddenly that once-empty spot feels intentional and complete.
It’s a simple styling move that makes the entire room look more pulled together, proving that even the smallest walls can have a big design impact.
Tip # 2 - Use Houseplants As Decor
There’s a reason plants are a go-to for interior designers and stylists, they instantly make a space feel more vibrant, lived-in, and layered.
Whether your style leans modern, minimal, or somewhere in between, plants bring softness, color, and organic texture that works with any aesthetic.
They’re an easy way to breathe life into a room, literally.
Strategic Placement, Big Impact
The key to decorating with plants is all about placement. A well-positioned plant can balance a vignette, draw the eye to a forgotten corner, or add height to a flat surface.
And beyond just looking good, houseplants can improve air quality, boost your mood, and even increase productivity.
Houseplants are the hardest-working piece of decor you’ll ever own.
Meet the Arches Plant Stand: A Statement in Height & Style
When it comes to strategic plant placement, the right stand makes all the difference and that’s where the Arches Plant Stand comes in.
The Arches Plant Stand has a tall, slender silhouette that adds vertical interest without taking up much floor space, making it perfect for those areas that need a little extra dimension.
Unlike the bulky, squatty plant stands you see everywhere, the Arches feels sculptural and elevated, more like a design object than a utility piece.
The Arches effortlessly complements your greenery while helping you create a more balanced, dynamic room layout. Think of it as the secret weapon for styling your plants with purpose and polish.
Tip #3 - Rethink Your Wall Decor, Go Beyond Framed Photos
Framed photos and prints are the go-to for wall decor, but let’s be honest, they can start to feel a little expected. If you’re craving something fresher, more dimensional, and a bit more design-forward, the Frame Wall Planter is the perfect solution.
It brings life to your walls, literally, while also acting as a sculptural focal point that instantly modernizes your space.
Soft curves, solid white ash hardwood, and a matte-white spun aluminum vessel, all come together to create a look that’s refined, elevated, and totally unexpected.
If you’ve been feeling stuck in the framed-art rut, this is your permission to mix it up and give your walls something new to talk about.
Tip #4 - Style That Starts at the Center
Your coffee table is more than just a spot for remotes and mugs, it’s the centerpiece of your living room and a major opportunity to express your style. Thoughtful, intentional styling can elevate the entire space.
The Formula: Layered, Personal, and Green
Start with a simple formula: something sculptural, something natural, something personal.
A small stack of books, a candle or ceramic object, and of course, a bit of greenery. The Nested Plant Stand is a perfect addition here.
Its compact, tiered design adds height and movement without overwhelming the space, making it easy to create a layered, designer-worthy look.
Whether your vibe is minimal or eclectic, styling your coffee table with intention helps your whole room feel more polished and put together.
Final Thoughts: Small Changes, Big Style Energy
Bringing style and intention into your home doesn’t have to mean a complete overhaul.
With just a few thoughtful additions, like a sculptural plant stand, a sleek wall planter, or a well-styled shelf, you can instantly elevate the look and feel of your space.
If you’re refreshing a forgotten corner, rethinking your wall decor, or giving your coffee table a new moment to shine, pieces like the Arches Plant Stand, Frame Wall Planter, Mixed Metal Shelf, and Nested Plant Stand make it easy to design with purpose.
It’s all about the small changes that create a big impact, effortlessly.
