If you decide to choose a classic, then everything in the room should be made from natural materials. You can paste wallpaper on the walls or paint them with natural dyes. Choose a shade to suit your taste. The main thing is that the room does not become visually even smaller.

What flowers can you keep in the bedroom?
There are always a lot of problems with choosing flowers, because some flowers are suitable for a given person and they are not suitable for another.
If the bedroom is a shelter for elderly people, then to stabilize the pressure, you can have a mother-in-law tongue in it. It makes the air cleaner, does not absorb, but, on the contrary, releases a lot of oxygen, and even has a strengthening effect on the immune system.

What house flowers cannot be grown at home?
It is not recommended to keep some plants at home for the following reasons:
- They release substances that are harmful to health.
- They can cause allergies, including the appearance of Quincke's edema.
- Poisonous if ingested by fruits, flowers, leaves, stems.
- Poisonous if the juice comes into contact with the skin and mucous membranes.
- They have spines that cause splinters and mechanical damage.
All these reasons encourage a more careful approach to the choice of house plants. Flowers that meet one of these criteria should not be kept at home. Even if there are no allergy sufferers, children or animals in the family, every home has guests from time to time. In order not to overshadow a friend’s visit with a severe attack of allergy to a seemingly harmless flower, it is better to avoid growing dangerous varieties.
Harmful plants for health
Mostly tropical species are harmful. Among indoor flowers, they are the majority: overseas flora attracts gardeners with its bright beauty and rich aromas.
Some of the most popular harmful flowers in cultivation include the following:
- Dieffenbachia;
- Oleander;
- Croton;
- Anthurium;
- Pachistachis.
All these plants have found their niche in floriculture due to the fact that they do not pose a direct danger if they are not touched or ingested. They do not poison the air and do not shoot with spines, but they burn the mucous membranes with juice or poison a person if they enter the blood or stomach.
However, there are also flowers that are familiar to us with rich odors, which can cause serious damage to a person simply due to their aroma. This is, for example, Geranium or Pelargonium. For people who are particularly sensitive to its smell, it is enough to inhale this aroma even at a considerable distance, and an allergic reaction can be very serious.
Flowers with unfavorable signs
As a rule, signs have nothing against the very fact of growing a plant in the house. Harmful flowers can realize their negative potential only if they are located in the wrong place.
For example, you should not place a pot of cactus near the door. This combination will set spouses against each other and lead to constant quarrels in the house.
Folk omens do not recommend bringing some flowers into the house, even in the form of a bouquet. Accordingly, you cannot grow them in your home:
- Callas - they bring sadness to the house.
- Orchids take away vitality, which makes people passive and dull.
- Any climbing plants create obstacles for single women in finding a partner.
- Violets provoke gynecological diseases in the owner, and also interfere with finding love.
Whether to believe signs or not is a personal matter for everyone, but folk wisdom, as a rule, is confirmed over time by scientific research.
Bouquets of flowers in the bedroom
Sometimes, after a walk in the countryside, the hostess returns with a bouquet of flowers. Vivid memories of pleasant things can do a disservice, because fragrant and beautiful flowers in a bouquet worsen your well-being. You cannot place lily of the valley and lilac, chamomile and flowers with thorns and sharp leaves in the bedroom.
If some flowers still grow in the bedroom, you need to monitor their behavior during the week. If a person does not feel any changes for the worse, or there is no reaction at all, then, clearly, the flowers can not be changed to others. Or you can give up the idea of placing them in the bedroom - it’s better to place them in the living room or kitchen.
Exquisite plants for the bedroom
Of course, green spaces in a relaxation room make for great interior design. Some of them are placed on window sills, others on small tables or special stands. A stand for flowerpots fits wonderfully into the interior, dividing the room into zones.
When choosing a place for indoor plants, it is advisable to place them away from the sleeping area. Some of them cause allergies.
For bedroom landscaping, outdoor plants in decorative containers are often used. These could be the following options:
- dwarf trees;
- palm trees;
- flowering bushes.
When choosing indoor flowers for the bedroom, it is foolish to think that any representatives of the flora with green foliage will do. It is better to first research the properties of plants, and then get down to business. Let's get to know some of them.
For a small bedroom, miniature specimens that have the shape of a ball are suitable.
