Hi there! Hallo! Привіт!
Creating a centerpiece is a great way to relax. Additionally, a decorative tabletop will be a nice accent in your living room or kitchen. And today I share with you some of my tips for home decor ideas with succulents.
How to arrange living plants in stylish projects? Let’s discover!
Succulent garden in the basket. Easy and natural home decor ideas
Even if you arrange a few types of succulents in the basket of different forms you get a stylish tabletop for your home.
The more plants, the lush decorative project you have.




The idea of a succulent garden is fast to do without any additional preparations.
All you need for this centerpiece you can buy in one store.
How to care for such a composition?
You can water the succulent garden in the basket in two ways:
- watering from below – put the basket in a deep plate with water for a few minutes,
- watering from above- water the plants as you do it with usual indoor home plants
Type of baskets made of natural materials
Although shops offer a lot of colorful plastic baskets, I prefer eco-friendly woven containers and pots.
Sustainable home decor ideas keep popularity nowadays.
Ecological woven baskets are made of:
- straw
- wicker from the vine
- wool or another sort of threads
- paper
- pine needles
- veneer basket
It takes time to make some of those eco-friendly items. Therefore, the price is higher on these containers, plastic baskets are much cheaper.
Etsy is the most popular marketplace where sellers present woven decorative things for succulent arrangement ideas.
But there are other ways to get a beautiful container for plants.
If you like handmade home decorating, you can find many ideas, DIY projects, and online tutorials on how to create a base for your succulents.
Succulents arrangement ideas with natural stones
The easiest method is to plant succulents in the pot and arrange a top dressing with stones to hide the ground.

A more difficult idea is to make a some small sculpture with natural stones and put it on the table near the home plant.
My tip is to fix stones or put them one over another to train your patienсe.

You can use this approach to create a beautiful outdoor project with succulents in a bigger container.
Where to find natural stones?
Many shops offer a variety of ready-to-use sets of pebbles for succulents.
My tip is to plan a journey for inspiration and bring some stones as a souvenir from that place.

Great idea! I do it if possible.
Sea shells for succulent arrangement ideas
Another natural item for 100% is a sea shell.
This is a good chance to use all your creativity to arrange succulents in the pot with sea shells.
A combination of different sizes, shades, and types provides a lovely decorative composition.
It’s very easy to plant succulents directly into the sea shell. If you like the sea idea for arrangement, remember to water this type of centerpiece more often.




The small size of the sea shell is supposed to dry the ground inside it very quickly. That’s why you should water it a few times a week.
It looks so beautiful – succulents and shells.
Design a mini fountain
Create a table fountain with the sea shell in the succulent garden.
This project requires preparing a hole in the sea shell and using some plastic tubes to create a fountain construction.

Enjoy the process of designing an interesting attractive tabletop for your home!
Use moss for succulent arrangement
I love mixing moss and succulents.
It has such a fresh natural look.
I must admit, dry moss is easier to use and to buy.


Fresh moss in a bright green shade is more charming and good-looking but working with it is more complicated.
You should grow it in a special container. In this case, you always have fresh moss for designing holiday home centerpieces.
Another way to get fresh moss is to visit a forest and just find it near the trees.
I do it when I have an inspiration to add green moss to my succulent garden.
The decorative glass centerpiece ideas. Arrange succulents in terrariums
A glass vase is the base for a simple succulent arrangement. This is a cheap idea for home decor in glass.



For a bigger terrarium, you should use a special glass container.

This item for a succulent terrarium is more expensive, but you can choose different forms for this type of arrangement like pyramid, cube, and others.
One succulent in one pot. Find inspiration by replacing plants
Echeveria in a small pot brings a cozy atmosphere around the table.

And a few pots with succulents look like an element for a more complicated arrangement.
My idea is that this set of plants may be a hairstyle for the woman silhouette in the picture.
Take simple ceramic plate and natural stones in two colors. Create an image with stones on the plate.

Replace pots with succulents and you will see a new style of table centerpiece every day.


New mood – a new idea for a succulent arrangement on your table with such a picture.
Just replace the pots on the plate.
I recommend creating some new images on the plate by combining pebbles of vibrant and white colors.
Succulent Picture Frame
This type of decorating is a succulent vertical garden.
