It's the little things that make a house a home. To make us happy, we put things we like in our homes -- like lighting, art and throw pillows. Plants are one of those home-warming articles that are essential. Having a bit of green in every room is a great way to keep some fresh energy flowing in from the outdoors. So if plants make us feel comfortable in our homes, why shouldn't our ferns and cacti feel comfortable in their homes? While the living, breathing creatures we keep in the picture window and on the coffee table don't voice their opposition to the plain, rust-colored clay pots, it's hard to not appreciate some prettier planter alternatives.
