A friend recently moved into her own apartment and needed some greenery to counteract all that beige.
I had a fern and a bromeliad that needed splitting.....
You can perhaps guess the rest.
Here is the bromeliad living its new life (apparently through rose colored glasses). This bromeliad was a "pup" (offset) that appeared about 1 year after buying the original mother bromeliad plant from a grocery store. Don't discount those grocery store plants, they can be quite hardy.

And the very studious fern, perched atop a bunch of books.
Worth noting that this is at least the 3rd split from the original grocery store fern (Nephrolepis type). That things just keeps growing, again, don't overlook grocery store plants. You can achieve a lush look indoors by combining easy-care ferns that have a graceful drape and small leaves with spikier-leaf plants (such as Dracena spp) or broadleaf plants such as Crotons or Pothos.
Happy freestyling, and gardening.
