Since we’re all trying to find a glimmer of spring in a long, dark, winter, it’s absolutely no wonder that faux plants are going viral online. Olive trees, in particular, are having a major moment.
Real olive tree care can be tricky in colder climates, so it's no surprise that this viral Costco faux olive tree keeps selling out in less than five minutes. Olive trees can add a sense of refined elegance to any space, offering brightening, light trunks with deep green leaves for interest. They come in all sorts of sizes and shapes, from simple black olive tendrils to larger, more exotic looks, and you’re bound to find an option that’ll fit in perfectly with your home decor.
So while you may not want to plant a tree in the middle of your living room, a faux tree might be a way bringing some sunshine to a wintry living room. I don't like everything on the market, but after scouring the internet I've found a handful of cute options.
