Mixing artificial and real plants in interior design?
I'm decorating my living room and want a mix of textures. I'm thinking of using a large artificial tree as a focal point in one corner, and then using a few real potted plants on shelves and tables around it. Will this look odd? Does mixing the two ever make the artificial one look more "fake" in comparison?

Actually, mixing artificial and real plants is a fantastic design strategy! A large, high-quality artificial tree provides the consistent, structural "anchor" that you don't have to worry about, while smaller, real plants around it bring the authentic organic textures and subtle imperfections. The key is that the artificial tree needs to be of very high quality (realistic trunk, varied leaves). When done right, the real plants actually help the faux tree look more natural by association.
