The Secret To This Instagram-Ready Home Costs Less Than $20 On Amazon

Snag some of her tips for incorporating color into every nook and cranny of your space, working with natural light to boost your mood, and creating beautiful plant displays for next to no money.

The oldest thing is my aloe vera—it was the first plant I bought and didn't kill! There's definitely sentimental value to that. The newest is my jade plant I got from my sister-in-law for my birthday.

My favorite touches include my wooden headboard that holds lots of little pots. We get compliments on it all the time, and it cost me next to nothing! I went on Kijiji (Canada's version of Craigslist), searched for wood pallets, and found that a bunch of local businesses were giving them away for free. I brought a few and lined the top with plants. Then, I spotted plant hangers at Ikea that perfectly fit through the gaps. I think those three pots hanging in the front really make the headboard.

We have a disco ball that moves around the room a lot. I like placing it directly in sunlight to cast sparkly lights across the walls and ceiling. But my not-so-secret light weapon is Rainbow Window Film. It's an easy to stick-on film that you can apply to your windows to casts rainbows all across the room when the sun hits. You can find one for less than $20 on Amazon.

All the plants change. Sometimes I'll move them around to get them more or less light, and sometimes I'll bring new ones home that I found in the greenhouse.

Our place actually sounds like the start of a Disney movie...there's always birds chirping and squirrels making noise outside the windows. And because of all of the plants, certain rooms smell so fresh—but most of the time it smells like whatever is cooking in the kitchen.

On the wall near my bed, there's a map of the Amalfi Coast—the part of Italy where my husband and I tied the knot. I love the meaning behind it, plus it just so happens to go with the color theme of our room: green, pink, and blue.

Well, not only do plants purify the air, but I think they also create a little oasis for you to escape your worries. I had a very stressful job once upon a time, and the only part of my day that I truly enjoyed was sitting in my plant-filled home. There's something about caring for a living thing and seeing it grow that gives back in the most unexpected ways. Taking time out of your day to unplug and sit on the floor next to your plants and read is so very calming.

It sounds cheesy, but I love being able to feel like I'm in nature when I'm stuck working inside all day. Especially during the cold winter days here in Edmonton, I often find myself drawn to the plant room.
