Monstera, or 'Swiss Cheese Plants,' are one of the most vibrant options for bringing a pop of greenery to your home.

Archival photos of the actor's Los Angeles home in 1981 show a gorgeously neutral living room. It featured white painted walls, white ceilings, and massive bay windows to fill the space with light. A white shag rug and white painted fireplace completed the bright look. All of this neutrality brings attention to the one colorful accent: the bright green monstera plant on the mantel.
