1. Bright and Sunny Conservatory in Boston
Interior designer Melissa Miranda and builder Ulises Serret live in a renovated Victorian carriage house built in the late 1800s in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston. "We get terrible long, cold winters. You get a little bit of cabin fever, so I wanted to have a lot of light and plants to combat the winter blues," Miranda says.
Miranda has fond memories of growing up with a conservatory in her home in London. She distinctly recalls, in her words, "the smell of plants and having breakfast in there." She and her husband, Serret, added the sun-drenched space seen here to their family's home. She painted the walls, ceiling and trim in Swiss Coffee by Benjamin Moore.
In the dining room, Miranda says, her numerous plants "grow like crazy." It's the most frequently used room in the house, where the family eats every meal. "I can't imagine what it's like living without that room now," she says.

The light-filled room occupies space that was once a deck. Radiant heat beneath Barcelona-inspired floor tiles keeps the family and their plants happy and comfortable year-round. "A house is not a home without plants," Miranda says. "I'm verging on an obsession with them. I talk to them. It's a thrill seeing them grow and flower."
Reproduction Tulip chairs surround a rosewood table. Miranda had wheels installed on the table so she can easily move it out of the way for dance parties.

2. Lush Oasis in a Midcentury Kansas Ranch
Jared and Gina Holmberg live in an updated 1957 modern ranch in Leawood, Kansas. Their all-white interior is an ideal place for a breezy vibe enhanced by Gina's impressive and thriving collection of houseplants, including a dramatically sweeping fiddleleaf fig tree, mother-in-law's tongue, cactuses, jade, aloe and various other succulents. "They are cleaning our air too," Gina says.
While the couple live in the Midwest, they are huge fans of California and its laid-back indoor-outdoor vibe. They tried to capture that feeling in decorating their home's interior. The houseplants in the main living area bask in abundant sunlight provided by floor-to-ceiling windows. "It is such a great house for plants because of all the light," Gina says.
"There's a story behind each plant," she adds. "The fiddly fig was a Mother's Day gift from Jared four years ago and started out no bigger than 3 feet tall. Since moving into this home, it has taken off."

3. Boho 1970s-Inspired Style in a 1906 Fixer-Upper
Emily Katz and Adam Porterfield live in an updated Craftsman in Northeast Portland, Oregon. Katz often finds inspiration in 1970s design books that feature rooms overflowing with plants. As a result, the couple have more than a hundred plants throughout their home, many of them in the dining room. This space features a thriving cactus-like euphorbia and hanging plants cradled in macramé hangers crafted by Katz and sold through her company, Modern Macramé.

4. Cactus-Packed Greenhouse in an Art-Filled Swedish Home
Karolina and Erik Modig live in the Södermalm district of Stockholm with their two children. The couple's love of plants is seen throughout their turn-of-the-19th-century apartment, and especially in their dining room, where a greenhouse contains a collection of cactuses. "Erik found the greenhouse at the fire station and instantly fell in love," Karolina says. It is so heavy that the floor underneath needed to be reinforced.

5. Beachy Boho Style in a Coastal Australian Home

Atop the table is a large agave and other plants.

6. Color and Houseplants in a Brooklyn High-Rise Rental Apartment
Interior designer Jenny Kaplan of An Aesthetic Pursuit is a plant lover, and uses plants generously throughout her rental home in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. A potted Madagascar dragon tree makes the sun-filled dining room feel like an island-inspired getaway, while a small collection of plants creates a windowsill garden.
Artist and friend Jenna Snyder-Phillips created the graphic blue palm tree painting.

7. Restaurateur's Lush and Luxe Chicago Loft
Nate Chung and his cat, Rabbit, live in spacious condo in Chicago's Bucktown neighborhood. When Chung isn't lounging with Rabbit on one of the sofas, he's usually in his dining room. "I love sitting at different seats at the dining table to read, do laptop work or play board games with my friends," he says.
The homeowner spent his childhood in Hawaii, and his collection of houseplants is a way to add a tropical touch to his Chicago home. "Unlike Hawaii, you actually have distinct seasons here," he says. The plants are mostly from City Escape in Garfield Park and Orchids by Hausermann in Villa Park. Chung says his big, east-facing windows "pour in that gentle, bright sunshine that nourishes the plants, allows the cat to sprawl out and wakes me up each morning."

8. Playful Boho Flair in a Nashville Live-Work Home
Casey Freeman and Savannah McNeill are co-owners of clothing label Hey Wanderer and work out of their renovated 1945 East Nashville home. The dining room features an accent wall with patterned black-and-white Eijffinger wallpaper and framed black-and-white photographs. The dining chairs are vintage; the seats have been re-covered in a tropical-pattern fabric.
9. Eclectic Style in an Updated 1930s Nashville Victorian
Kaitlin Doubleday loves hosting dinner parties in her large dining room, which features an original wood-burning fireplace. "I love the feel of the dining room. The plants and vintage curtains give it a very Southern feel," she says.
The primarily black-and-white interior features a hand-me-down table and chairs from the previous homeowners, and a new Sputnik-style chandelier. Two potted palms in black vases sandwich a tiny windowsill garden, and a centerpiece orchid is another fresh touch.

10. Easygoing, Eclectic Boho-Style Home in D.C.
"The one constant element in my home is my obsession to add plants to every corner and empty surface," homeowner Amy Welsh says. "Plants are my go-to if I need to bring some warmth into a space." Welsh, who works for a bank, and her husband, Nathan Mitchell, live in a 1920s Craftsman in northeast Washington, D.C., with their son.
Their dining room evokes "Jungalow" and boho style, inspired by interior designer Justina Blakeney. "The room gets a lot of light, so naturally I keep most of my plants in this space. I like to think of it as my indoor jungle," she says. "I have lots of succulents and a big schefflera in the corner."
The couple ate a lot of their meals in this space together, until they had their son, Thomas. "Now that we have a baby and work full time, it's hard to sit down together every night. So as much as I hate to admit it, we usually end up on the couch," she says. "Once our son is older, we want to make it a habit to all sit down for dinner in this space again."
