We believe that a great night’s sleep is the first step to having an amazing day. Sleep is also essential for maintaining optimal health and well-being. According to the National Sleep Foundation, adults between the ages of 18 to 64 need an average of 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night. That task, alone, might seem exhausting.
Incorporating plants in your home can create a therapeutic environment, lead to a better night’s sleep and boost productivity. Bring these benefits into your home by displaying functional foliage as a natural décor piece. Check out our tips and learn more about how to pick the best plant that will bring your home to life.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), adults should be getting seven or more hours of sleep each day to maintain great health—yet more than one-third of adults say they don’t get enough sleep. Are you one of them?
