Nice for styling bookcases and windowsills, but doing little to fill up those empty corners in your home. This is where big-leaf houseplants come in. These varieties of plants have plenty of personality with their enormous leaves. From philodendrons on the larger side to towering palms, plus, those designer-beloved fiddle-leaf figs, big-leaf plants perk up any room they're placed in. And big-leaf plants aren't just good for a visual refresh: Many kinds even assist with cleaning the air and eliminating pollutants. Read more about Best Indoor Plants For Dark Rooms.
