Best Indoor Houseplants for Bedroom
Small plants also look great when arranged as an interior feature on top of cabinets or chests of drawers – especially if you pair them with other decorative elements such as lamps or wall art. Indoor houseplants in your bedroom can help purify the air, making your sleep happier and healthier. Here are some of the best indoor houseplants for your bedroom that you can add to your décor:
Calathea
Calathea plants (also known as prayer plants) are one of the most popular types of houseplants for bedrooms because they’re easy to care for and have beautiful leaves with interesting patterns on them. Calatheas like bright light but no direct sunlight, so if you have a south-facing window in your bedroom that gets plenty of natural light throughout the day, it should be fine there. If not, Calatheas can also be placed near a window where they’ll get indirect sunlight throughout the day instead.
Calathea plants like to be watered regularly, but they don’t like to be left sitting in water. Calathea varieties are great for adding color to your living space and they also help to clean the air by removing toxins such as formaldehyde and benzene from the air around them.
Devil’s Ivy
Devil’s ivy is one more exceptional air purifying plant that NASA lists as a great filter for toxins such as formaldehyde, benzene, and xylene. This versatile plant can be used as ground cover or as a hanging basket. Devil’s ivy does well when planted directly in soil or grown in pots with a loose, fast-draining mix such as cactus mix or African violet soil mix.
The plant grows rapidly and requires minimal maintenance once established; however, it does require plenty of light to thrive. Devil’s ivy can become aggressive if not pruned regularly, so keeping it trimmed will help keep it looking tidy and under control.

Peace Lily
In terms of popularity, peace lilies are among the most popular indoor plants. This plant produces beautiful white flowers that bloom in the summertime. It’s easy to grow and will tolerate low light levels. Peace lilies need to be kept moist but not wet, so mist them frequently instead of watering them from above with a watering can that has a sprinkler attachment.
This plant prefers indirect sunlight and should be placed away from drafts or heat vents, which can cause its leaves to turn brown or yellow prematurely.
Maranta Plants
Maranta plants are very popular indoor houseplants for bedrooms. They have beautiful foliage, making them a great choice if you want something colorful in your home or office. These plants also have a lot of different varieties, so there’s one for every taste. Some have green leaves; some are variegated and some even have yellow or white leaves!
If you’re looking for a plant that can handle low light, then the Maranta plant is a good choice. It’s easy to care for too, which makes it ideal for beginners. These plants are also very good at helping filter the air in your home, so they’re great for bedrooms.
Lavender
Lavender makes a great indoor houseplant because it’s not only pretty to look at but it also has a pleasant fragrance. In addition to its air-purifying effects, lavender also provides an aromatic touch that’s perfect for your bedroom. It’s easy to grow in full sun or partial shade, making it perfect for people who don’t have a lot of time to water their plants regularly. Lavender plants can live for up to 20 years if they’re cared for properly.
It’s also drought tolerant and doesn’t require frequent watering to keep it happy, just don’t let its soil dry out completely between waterings. You can even use lavender as an air freshener by hanging dried sprigs from your ceiling or placing them in decorative pots around your home!
Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera is one of NASA’s top air-purifying plants. It releases oxygen at night, making it perfect for your sleep environment. This succulent is known for its healing properties and ability to promote skin healing after sunburns or other injuries. It’s an easy-to-care-for plant that thrives on neglect (although it doesn’t like cold drafts).
Aloe vera plants prefer indirect sunlight and should be watered only when their soil feels dry to the touch between waterings (which should occur once a month). The plant should not be overwatered because this can cause root rot, which will kill the plant. You can use the gel from inside an aloe vera leaf to treat minor burns and other skin irritations.
Final Words
Each room in your house has its own needs and wants, but the master bedroom requires a little more care than your other home spaces. Of course, regardless of where you place a plant indoors, it will still need to be taken care of properly, but each room does present unique care requirements.
