How to Block Vis-à-Vis Views in Your Apartment with Plants – Part 2

With Plants…

Plants elegantly shield your living space from prying eyes while transforming your windowsill into a vibrant mini-garden. Marion Bartel, landscape architect at Le Vert à Soi, shares her expertise: "To recreate this setup, opt for windowsill-friendly shrubs with ideal height and density. Layer in two or three smaller plants for lush abundance. Mix flowering and non-flowering, deciduous and evergreen varieties to enjoy a dynamic, seasonal display." For north-facing windows, choose shade lovers like Japanese maples or heather. Sunny exposures? Select low-maintenance Mediterranean stars: olive trees, bougainvillea, lavender, jasmine—they handle light and heat effortlessly.
