Esque Terrariums

Filed under: Decor

Even if you're not generally a fan of houseplants, terrariums are a great way to bring some life and green indoors in a way that keeps with structured and styled decor -- you get all the benefits of a houseplant but without the potentially unruly appearance and dead leaves falling all over.

These darling little Esque Terrariums from Velocity are perfect to sit anywhere. Hand-blown, each one is unique and signed by the artist. They're made from 100% recycled glass and heated in a furnace powered completely by wind energy -- truly "green" art in more ways than one! The plant isn't included, and they're available in two sizes (8" and 12"). $600-$800

Tabletop Terrarium

Potted plants are great in the kitchen windowsill, but are not exactly the pinnacle of chic for the rest of the house. To get your greenery in, in style, consider switching from pots to a Tabletop Terrarium from Smith & Hawken. The Terrarium is like a miniature greenhouse, trapping moist, humid air and creating an environment that beautiful tropical flowers thrive in. Hand-welded with glass panels, the terrarium looks quite Victorian and would make a great addition to an entryway or simply on an end-table, becoming as bold or understated as you like depending on what you choose to plant in it. Price: $99.
