Best Indoor Plants for Kitchen 

The kitchen is often the most used space in a home — filled with warmth, aromas, and memories 🍲. But what if you could add a dash of freshness and style to it without much effort? Enter: indoor plants for kitchen. These green companions don’t just enhance the aesthetic — they purify the air, absorb heat, and even double up as herbs in some cases!
