Top 4 Easy Care Indoor Plants & Styling Tips for Australian Homes

4 Easy Indoor Plants That Thrive in Australian Homes (And How to Style Them)

Looking to add greenery to your space? These easy indoor plants are perfect for Australian homes — they’re low-maintenance, stylish, and ideal for pairing with unique home décor. Whether you’re styling a rental apartment, a cosy corner, or designing a full shelf refresh, these plant picks are perfect for beginners and busy lifestyles.

And if you’re after something more playful than your average pot, we’ve included decor styling ideas using sculptural favourites from White Moose — a go-to for those seeking quirky Australian home decor.


🌸 1. Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum)

Best for: Bedrooms, hallways, shaded corners
Care level: Very easy

The Peace Lily is a classic indoor plant that’s known for its ability to thrive in low light. It gives subtle drama with deep green leaves and elegant white blooms — and it tells you when it’s thirsty by gently drooping.

Style tip:
Let the plant’s calm presence shine by placing it beside the White Wing Bookends. This pairing creates a relaxed, peaceful aesthetic for bedrooms or home offices.


🪴 2. Snake Plant (Sansevieria)

Best for: Entryways, living rooms
Care level: Very low

The sculptural shape of the Snake Plant makes it a designer favourite. It tolerates low light, doesn’t need frequent watering, and filters toxins from the air.

Style tip:
Place it in a simple pot and style it beside a standout piece like the Gold Shelf Bunny from White Moose. The contrast between greenery and resin sculpture brings a polished, modern look to console tables or shelves.


🌱 3. Pothos (Devil’s Ivy)

Best for: Hanging pots, shelves, kitchens
Care level: Easy

Pothos is a forgiving, trailing plant that adds softness to hard surfaces. It thrives in indirect light and only needs watering when the soil is dry.

Style tip:
Plant in our Black Hand Planter and let vines spill over a floating shelf or bookcase and curl them around the White Budgie Sculpture or between the Gold Wings Bookends to add movement and flow to your styling.


🌵 4. Succulents

Best for: Small spaces, windowsills, desks
Care level: Very low

Succulents are perfect for adding green accents without demanding attention. With hundreds of shapes and textures, they’re great for small-scale styling and look great grouped.

Style tip:
Plant inside our Cermaic Bear, Frenchie, Koala or Tiger for a playful twist. These combos make great shelf or desk centerpieces.

 


Our Top Styling Tip:

It’s not a plant—but it’s too good to leave out. The Snail Sculptures by White Moose are a top-seller for a reason. It adds unexpected charm to plant pairings and elevates even the simplest indoor greenery.

Style tip:
Use it beside a leafy plant like the Peace Lily or Snake Plant to bring texture and humour to your vignette. It’s especially effective when paired with darker foliage and light wood tones.
