Green ideals at the turn of the century

Around the turn of the 20th century, greenery found its way into homes. Flowerpots filled with plants adorned windows and porches, adding both color and life. The pots were more than just practical items—they reflected the era’s aspiration for a modern, beautiful, and refined home.

In the latter part of the 19th century The homes became brighter thanks to larger windows. The windowsill became a natural spot for potted plants, and flower tables, pedestals, and plant stands became popular features in interior design.

The trend toward flowering plants was reinforced by the ideals of the time, not least through Carl Larsson’s depictions of family life in Sundborn, which went on to inspire many Swedish homes. At the same time, interior design was shaped by Art Nouveau’s fascination with nature. Plants, flowers, and organic forms appeared in everything from wallpaper and textiles to ceramics and furniture.

"People feel better, become friendlier, and happier if, in their home, encounters beautiful shapes and colors "on the things you surround yourself with."

— Ellen Key, Beauty for Everyone (1904)

Most flower pots were made of clay, often terracotta, a material that was both inexpensive and practical because it allowed air and moisture to reach the plants’ roots. At the same time, glazed earthenware and porcelain pots became popular as more decorative alternatives. Together, they demonstrate how everyday objects could combine functionality, a passion for gardening, and the aesthetic ideals of the time.
