Step 1
Make a list detailing the functions or ideas that you want your garden room to incorporate. Decide whether you want a lot of seating or more of your favorite plants. Determine if you want to incorporate a color scheme into your planning.

Step 2
Create an ambiance outside of your room. You want a view that matches the ideas you're incorporating inside your garden room. Strategically place trees, bushes, gardens, bird feeders, bird houses or a water fountain outside the windows.

Step 3
Incorporate all five senses into your indoor garden planning. Paint the walls a bright, sunny color that harmonizes with the color in your plants, such as a green or blue. Also add texture to your walls by paneling and painting over it or just putting plain, wooden paneling on one full wall. Install sweet-smelling plants or candles that you can light to add a nice aroma or ambiance.

Fill your garden room with your favorite plants. Use various-sized pots and planters or hanging baskets to create a room that incorporates all styles of plants for a varied look. Put your plants on decorative boxes or milk crates to create a more distinctive look.
