Get This Look
One corner, two totally different moods. A tall faux fiddle leaf fig brings lush, structured greenery to a neutral living room, while a bundle of dried pampas grass adds soft, boho movement without any upkeep. Watch the video above to see both styled side by side, then shop whichever speaks to your space.
How to Recreate It
- Choose your hero piece: a tall faux tree (5–6 ft) for a polished, organic look, or a large pampas grass stem bundle for an airy, textural feel.
- Select a planter or vase that grounds the piece — a woven seagrass basket works for the tree, and a tall ceramic or terracotta vase suits the pampas grass.
- Place your chosen piece in a bare corner near natural light to make it feel more realistic and intentional.
- Layer a chunky knit throw and a few earth-tone throw pillows on the nearest sofa or chair to tie the organic textures together.
- Add a small side table or wooden tray nearby with a candle or small accent vase to complete the vignette.
Styling Tips
- If your room skews modern or Scandinavian, the faux tree reads cleaner and more structured — opt for a fiddle leaf fig or olive tree shape.
- Pampas grass works best in boho, coastal, or rustic spaces; pair it with linen, rattan, and warm neutrals for maximum impact.
- For pampas grass, choose stems that are already dried and sealed so they shed less over time.
- Scale matters — in rooms with ceilings over 9 ft, go at least 5 ft tall so the piece doesn’t get lost.
- Both looks benefit from an oversized area rug underneath to anchor the corner and define the zone.
Budget Swaps
- Skip the designer planter and use a plain nursery pot wrapped in a $10 jute rope sleeve from Amazon.
- Buy pampas grass stems individually from Amazon rather than in a pre-made arrangement to save 30–40%.
- A faux pothos trailing from a shelf nearby can echo the greenery theme for under $15 if the full tree is out of budget.
- Swap a ceramic accent vase for a simple amber glass bottle — it pairs beautifully with dried grasses at a fraction of the cost.
