A Glimpse of Life with the Aspect

Bright, bold and beautiful! It's no wonder Kate Pearce's Long Island abode was featured in the popular Apartment Therapy House tour. Inspiring is an understatement! Be sure to head on over to check out the full House Tour and article by Elaine Musiwa on how and from where Kate Pearce draws her brilliant inspiration. As you can see above her big boastful cactus, Kate is a proud owner of the 40W Black Aspect Grow Light.

There is.

The apartments that feel truly alive, the ones you scroll past on Pinterest and instantly want to live in, aren't just homes with a few plants in predictable spots. They're intentional. A trailing vine above the kitchen cabinets. A lush fern tucked into the bathroom. A sculptural snake plant in the entryway that makes you feel like you've arrived somewhere good.

A lot of those looks are more achievable than they seem. And with the right plant, and sometimes a little help from a grow light, even the darker, more forgotten corners of your apartment can become something worth noticing.

Here are five unexpected places to bring your plant styling ideas to life.
