As the festive season approaches, many of us think of trees, tinsel, lights and seasonal décor. 2025 is seeing a growing shift: more people are turning to houseplants — not just for a few weeks, but as living, lasting additions to their winter décor. Whether you want traditional festive charm, a modern twist, or a subtle, natural ambience, these plants are stylish statement pieces that are leading the trends this Christmas season.

For the 2024 festive season, phs Greenleaf was commissioned to create a bespoke Christmas installation at Battersea, showcasing the centre’s branding while delivering a visually impactful seasonal display. The project focused on the courtyard in front of Whittington Lodge, the UK’s first purpose-built cattery and a historic architectural feature of the site.
