Martha Stewart may not approve, but the trend of faux flowers and branches is making a comeback, and for good reason. While most stylists have been traditionally against fake plants due to their less organic and nuanced appearance, the convenience and aesthetic of high-quality faux foliage cannot be denied. After styling my brother’s house and realizing the challenges of maintaining real flowers, I decided to explore the world of faux botanicals.

The key is to choose high-quality options that mimic the look and feel of real plants.
