Style Secret: Indoor PlantsIndoor plants provide more than just a pretty touch of greenery — they also fight air pollution. Not only do they soak up toxic fumes from compounds such as formaldehyde and benzene, but some, such as English ivy, also can offset mold and other allergens. Consider philodendrons, Boston ferns, ficus trees and peace lilies — all easy to find, easy to grow and champs at keeping the air healthy.Put it into practice: Incorporate plants as part of thoughtful design rather than sticking them in random corners. Mass several large planters together for graphic impact, as in this space; arrange smaller ones in a grid on shelving; or mount an indoor window box.
(but the lighting changes the color a little.)
