Houseplants make your interior look way more interesting, calm and personal. But besides that, there are some awesome side effects of plants in your interior. I will tell you why you should add plants to your home, and maybe your office too.

Plants will make you more focused

Research done by Amanda Read of The Royal College of Agriculture in Cirencester, England shows that students attending lectures in a room with plants were much more attentive, with distractions reduces by 70%.

They can prevent illness and make you happy

Indoor plants can reduce fatigue, coughs, sore throats and other cold-related illnesses by more than 30% says Dr. Tøve Fjeld of the University of Agriculture in Norway.

Plants can raise humidity levels

Have you ever noticed itchy eyes, a dry throat or stuffy nose after being in a room? Air-conditioned or heated rooms often have too low humidity causing these unpleasant feelings. Plants can help out here since they work as natural humidifiers losing 90% of their water through transpiration. Just a few plants in the room is already enough to notice a difference in the humidity.
