Each adds personality while keeping the rustic look grounded and natural. [Music] [Music] Layered greenery for depth. Small spaces thrive on visual interest.

Opt for warm white tones to maintain that rustic charm and make your space glow beautifully at night. [Music] [Music] [Music] DIY vertical garden walls. When floor space is limited, go vertical. Use wooden pallets, ladders, or trelluses to create garden walls filled with herbs, flowers, or succulents. It’s a budget-friendly way to add texture and greenery without cluttering your yard.
