10 Ways to Make Windows Look Alive With Plants

5. Hanging Monstera Magic: Bold Drama for Design Enthusiasts

Stylish, modern interior space with white brick walls and large black-framed windows, featuring bold "hanging plants in front of window," including a fern in a basket and another plant in a geometric metal hanger, complementing a large Monstera on the floor.

When I Decided to Go Big (Like, Really Big)

Okay, so here’s the thing—I’ve always been into design. Like, I’ll rearrange my living room just because I saw a cool photo on Pinterest and suddenly my couch is facing the wall instead of the TV. Worth it.

But for the longest time, my space felt… missing something. It had clean lines, good lighting, even some art on the walls—but no oomph. That’s when I did something kind of wild: I bought a Hanging Monstera deliciosa.

Yes, I know. Monsteras are everywhere these days. But honestly? There’s a reason they’re a design icon—they bring that lush, tropical drama without trying too hard. And once mine was up by the window in my Chicago apartment, everything just clicked.

Styling Your Monstera for Maximum Wow Factor

Let me tell you, how you hang your Monstera can make or break the look. This isn’t a plant you just stick anywhere—it needs its moment.

I went with a large hanging pot made from woven rattan—super on-trend and perfect for that earthy-meets-modern vibe. The bigger the pot, the better, because Monsteras grow fast and you don’t want them looking cramped.

If you’re really going all-in, try pairing it with geometric containers or sleek metal hangers for contrast. I added a triangular planter next to mine and let me tell ya—it gave serious architecture-inspired decor energy.

And if you love art, texture, and bold shapes? You’ll get why this works so well. A hanging Monstera brings depth and movement to any room. Especially one with tall windows and lots of natural light—like those gorgeous lofts in Houston or Chicago.

Why Art Lovers and Architecture Fans Can’t Get Enough

Okay quick story: My friend came over after I hung my Monstera and literally said, “This looks like an editorial spread.” High praise, right?

But seriously, there’s something about the way the leaves fan out and catch the sunlight that feels almost sculptural. If you’re into art lovers’ home decor, or dig the clean lines of modern architecture, this plant is like the final brushstroke on a masterpiece.

It’s also great for filling empty corners or highlighting high ceilings. I mean, have you seen a Monstera against a white wall with floor-to-ceiling windows? Chef’s kiss.

Plus, since it thrives in bright, indirect light, it’s happy as long as it’s near a big window—which makes it perfect for city apartments where space is limited but style is endless.
