Best houseplants with dark foliage – these 7 plants will add a moody accent to your interiors

ZZ plant against rustic grey background.

Moody and cozy color palettes are having a moment. Darker shades can enrich our interiors and make a big impact on any space. If, however, committing to painting a whole room a deep shade of burgundy feels a bit daunting, there is no better way to add moody, textural accents than by using houseplants with dark foliage. 

Since I began collecting and propagating houseplants 10 years ago, I’ve often been drawn to ones with darker and more unusual foliage, as I feel they can work harder for you. They can add depth, texture and cozier shades to a space, without you having to make any permanent changes or commit to a paint color, for instance.
