Greenterior: Plant Loving Creatives & Their Homes.

Bart Kiggen and Magali Elali, known for their wonderful interior blog Coffeeklatch, show the power of plants as interior objects in their very first book. In Greenterior: Plant Loving Creatives and Their Homes, the creative duo document the homes of twenty creative spirits who all share a love of plants. Magali & Bart visited interiors in Belgium as well as other world cities like Barcelona and New York, showing us how an impressive or different collection of plants makes a home even more personal and interesting.

Bart and Magali are big plant lovers themselves and they particularly love the caring relationship a plant entails. During their interview sessions for Coffeeklatch, they often met people with a striking passion for greenery. Bart took the photographs of the houses and paid special attention to the role of plants in the interior design. Magali took the time to interview the inhabitants about their collection of plants.

The duo visited the houses of florist Marc Colle, interior photographer Martyn Thompson, fashion designer Christian Wijnants, painter Piet Raemdonck, and furniture designers Muller Van Severen and Ana Kraš, among others.

Greenterior is a downright plea for more greenery in your house, since it is the easiest way to feel connected to nature, which sometimes seems far away. The book also shows that taking care of plants does not have to be scary: it is not difficult and it does not require much. Light, warmth, the right information and some fresh inspiration will do. Greenterior lends a helping hand: the book includes a practical index with the specific characteristics of every plant shown in the photographs.
