The bedroom is a place where we spend a lot of time and recharge our energy. That is why it is very important to design it in a way that ensures a peaceful, healthy sleep. Air-purifying plants are a great way to improve air quality in the bedroom, and consequently, the overall atmosphere of the room.
Plants not only enhance the aesthetics of the bedroom. Many popular species of potted plants improve air quality by diffusing toxins and releasing oxygen, and they can even alleviate allergies. It is also worth mentioning that they reduce stress and calm the mind, which positively impacts sleep quality in the bedroom. Most importantly, the majority of such air-purifying plant species are very easy to care for!
However, it should be noted that it is a mistake to assume that all plants produce oxygen at night and absorb harmful substances such as benzene or formaldehyde. The fact is that only the metabolic processes of certain plants enable them to purify the air. Most potted plants release carbon dioxide during the night; therefore, it is important to know which plants to place in the bedroom to ensure better rest and breathing.
