Help me choose the best tree combination

last month

Help me choose! 🌿 Which living room tree combination do you like best? I currently have an olive tree and fig tree in the corners of my living room both are in woven baskets. I just recently purchased a pottery barn Olive tree and planter on facebook marketplace for a great deal. I'm wondering if the olive tree would look better than the fig tree. Would my living room look better with two olive trees? If so, should I keep the matching woven baskets or would it look okay with one in a different planter?

Sorry I dislike fake trees and for sure big ones in a tiny pot that they could never live in . You have great light why not real, neither of those look real .

Using different planters would be fine.

I don't have a problem with fake, but with good natural light, I would try real plants first.

When we lived in New England I had vaulted ceilings in the family room and found an 8 ft high, 5-stalk Dracaena Massangeana (Corn plant).

I have never seen one as large as that being sold in any nursery I have visited since!

They are usually 3 or4-stalks and a bit shorter. Very easy to care for. We had it for around 8 years, but got relocated overseas, and left it at the house when we sold.

Typical size found at nurseries, but you could have a nursery source/order a larger one.

not all the same plant/tree. Bigger planter and fluff the branches. What else will you group with the trees?

The room needs a good edit, you already have a lot going on for the trees to be of interest.

How about rearranging the furniture so they become focal interest?

There's not enough coordination between the existing elements in the room for a plant to feel like it belongs or will contribute anything to the space right now.
