Echeveria Living Room

The living room is where your decor takes center stage — and few plants offer as much effortless charm as the Echeveria. With its soft, geometric rosettes and calm coloration, this compact succulent brings serenity and structure to open shelves, side tables, and sunny ledges.

Whether you’re going for minimal modern or boho cozy, it blends in beautifully — without needing frequent attention.
