For the many people who have been addicted to the Plants vs. Zombies game, here is something that should be a neat addition to your room. The Plants vs. Zombies lamp is a great collector’s item that should be great to have by your bedside, something that reacts when you tinker around with the movable figurines that come with it.

All you have to do is put a zombie by a plant and the light turns on. Once you decide to take out the figurine, the light automatically goes off. Hence, the lamp seems to be a simple and no-brainer functioning piece but is overall something that Plants vs. Zombies fans are bound to want, even for display purposes only.

The Plants vs. Zombies lamp is available from Brando for about $15.

Creating a Terrarium could be easy since you simply need to get some well-shaped bottle or glass object and fill it up with the soil and plants you have. But if you want to take it to a more custom-made result, these hand-blown pieces from Liz Boscacci for Bevara Design should be something neat and classy to juice up your home.

Glass is blown to take shape, made constantly before the mouth of it all is cut. Each Terrarium is etched with the designer and producer’s name before you can start laying in the plants. In case you are unfamiliar on how to go about it, here is a brief overview:

“To plant the terrariums, you first lay down a layer of gravel, then a layer of charcoal to absorb excess water, then the planting soil. We have found that a large number of artists have purchased these pieces, because the shape lends itself well to sort of a curated collection of plants since there are dimensional constraints. This has been an added perk to the design: some very lovely and artistic creations.”

What makes this bed unusual is the fact that the back end or the headboard portion comes with space that one could use to place some stuff. If that isn’t your thing, you can follow what the image above shows, adding some plants or grass to make your room a bit fresher with some natural grown items.

However you may look at it, Vitamin Designs offers a bed that addresses the need of people who want to lean on a wall, a reason why most beds are normally placed with the headboard portion up the walls of your room. While it does seem that this design would limit that need, don’t be surprised to find some people still doing it that way.

Then again, there are people who have beds situated at the middle of the room but as far as this Unusual Bed is concerned, it seems a bit curious on whether people would change that tradition of having them near walls.

This design is stacked up to avoid unwanted mess and what you may have to be wary of as far as the Kube concept is concerned is making sure the white portions do not end up being muddied up when you water your plants or when rain falls.

For home owners who invest heavily in green houses and plants, here is something useful for you. Proper lighting is essential but the proper light resources are needed. Apparently thanks to LED technology, not only will home owners be able to combine alternative energy with proper lighting.

The new LightBlaze 400 improves upon prior models with better cooling, allowing for brighter output and longer life. The new PARBlend color mix provides the spectrums plants crave, resulting in exceptional growth and flowering.

It’s not unusual for a grower to start with one or two LightBlazes and then come back and buy 6 or 8 more. And in these economic times, our product is good insurance against rising energy prices.

Here is a “healthier” way of making sure that when you take a bath, you use filtered water. At least you don’t have to spend to buy actual filtered water in bottles. With the Phyto-Purification Bathroom, it transforms ordinary water for you to use with its natural water-recycling process.

The key is in the plants obviously. And with so many people particular about the quality of water that touches their hair and skin, this is definitely one idea you should get.

Go green with complete style and comfort. Check out the brilliant Growing Chair by Michel Bussien where the idea is to sit on your potted plants!

Says the designer:

“To move further we need to incorporate the living matter that surrounds us. Let us use the complexity of living nature and include it in our creations. These creations will then redefine the way we reconstruct nature. Only then will we truly move forward. It is time for man and nature to reunite.”

With its green wall, Bluehouse is on the cutting edge of an interior design trend that’s slowly making its way into the United States from Europe and Canada, where it has been more heartily embraced.

Outdoor living walls – which are sort of vertical green roofs – are still novelties, too, but increasingly popular.

You can just imagine the number of living plants used to create this green living wall. On how many it may be, the fact remains that Buscher was really able to create something unique and living to dramatize the eco-friendly designs aimed at improving green living.

Hydroponics A Good Alternative To Soil

Plants are known add-ons to our homes and while they do spice up any room today, we tend to overlook them especially if they need watering. Now what if you had a plant pot that can remind you and give them a piece of their mind in a manner of speaking? Then perhaps you will no longer forget to water them eh?

Such is the concept of this Pet Plant Pot which uses a digital LCD display programmed to show you what a plant needs. It may sound geeky but it does help remind you of something especially if you are too busy to notice that your plant is drying up and ruining the room ambiance in the process.
