These low-light varieties won't want anything to do with your already crowded windowsill.
1.Calathea
Its patterned leaves (in colors like rose, white, and yellow) makes this plant a welcome addition to any room — and too much direct light might actually fade its lovely markings.
2.Dieffenbachia
Filtered light is best for this plant. Try using a curtain as a barrier between it and the sun, especially during the the spring and summer when the plant is producing new, tender leaves.
3.Dragon Tree
Spiky leaves that grow upwards and have a red outline makes the name of this plant absolutely perfect. But direct sunlight could damage them – so give this guy some sun and some shade.
4.Spider Plants
This plant's adaptability makes it super easy to grow and therefore quite popular — it's also easy to propagate and share with others. It can stand up to a lot of neglect, and will thrive in indirect light.
5.Heart-Leaf Philodendron
The sweetheart plant (a nickname given because of the shape of its glossy leaves) can stand dim rooms, but requires pinching to prevent it from growing in long, single stems.
6.Bromeliads
Didn't expect to find a tropical plant on this list? This houseplant can actually survive on florescent light alone and thrives in humid conditions like bathrooms.
7.Peace Lily
If you often forget to water your plants, pick up one of these low-maintenance ones: It actually needs to dry out between waterings, meaning you can wait longer.
8.Chinese Evergreen
Since this plant is one of the most durable indoor plants (it does quite well in low light) and only needs to be fertilized once or twice a year, it's ideal for beginner gardeners.
9.Snake Plant
While the name is fun, this succulent is pretty tame when it comes to maintenance. More light will help it grow, but it can tolerate darkness—just watch out for root rot caused by overwatering.
10.Cast-Iron Plant
The leathery leaves on this houseplant are super tolerant not only to low light but also heat, cold, you name it. However, patience is required as it grows super slowly.

1——DIY Pumpkin Vase Centerpiece
Subtlety is key when it comes to Thanksgiving centerpieces. You've already got so much on the table—why crowd it further? Here, a stunning, quiet arrangement of faux flowers and branches is more than enough to make a serious statement.
2——White Centerpiece
Fall decor isn't all about oranges, yellows, and reds. Dried hydrangeas and white, antler-like decorations can make for an equally gorgeous monochrome centerpiece. Candles bring warmth, and faux pumpkins add texture.
3——Whitewash Pinecones
These pale pinecones are pretty enough to display on their own, or in this simple arrangement featuring gourds, berries, and succulents.
4——Bold Red Centerpiece
A vibrant arrangement is a guaranteed head-turner at any dinner party, but it'll be especially appreciated on Thanksgiving Day. Dahlias, roses, and ranunculus will fit right in with all the red-hued pies and cranberry sauce on your table.
5——Retro Cooler Vase
If Thanksgiving tends to be a casual shindig in your home, use a vintage jug cooler and foraged branches, leaves, and flowers from your backyard.
6——Natural Reeds Centerpiece
Dried reeds and grasses make for a totally unexpected Thanksgiving centerpiece. Evoking the earthiness of the fall season, their muted tones and subdued color palette is sure to elicit more than a few oohs and aahs from your guests.
7——Seasonal Spices
Mix and match wildflowers and vintage spice cans in autumnal hues according to the length of your table. Display two for small settings, and a series for longer setups.
8——Metallic Maize
Give a plain ol' vase some fall flair with this easy idea. Start by coating roughly 14 cobs of dried corn with metallic gold and copper spray paint. Once dry, hot-glue cobs to the perimeter of a 6-inch round vase. Tie it all together with gold raffia. Fill vase with floral foam and add seasonal flowers as desired. (This sampling includes dahlias, zinnias, and mountain ash berries.)
9——Wheat Cloches
Start by bundling a small handful of wheat and tie with twine. Turn a cloche upside down and place the wheat inside, then top with base and invert. Add leftover snips of wheat to securing with twine.
10——Go Green!
A scattering of green gourds and acorn squash laid down the center of the table and accented with orange and red flowers creates quite a pretty site. Bonus: Hot glue acorns to lengths of brown waxed twine and use to tie up rolled napkins. Apply gold leaf to a portion of a preserved maple leaf and use a gold paint pen to mark with guest's initials.
11——Pumpkin Vase
Remove the top quarter of a small pumpkin. Scoop out the seeds and pulp and fill with floral foam and flowers (here, dahlias, scabiosa, strawflowers, zinnias, forget-me-nots, and nigella). Surround your centerpiece with acorns, squash, and other seasonal elements.
12——Foliage-Inspired Florals
Bring some autumnal beauty indoors with this arrangement inspired by the yellow, orange, red, and purple leaves on the trees. A vintage trophy makes the perfect vessel for a big bunch of blooms.
13——Use a Vintage Vessel
A vintage blue-and-white transferware tureen stuffed full of white and yellow flowers, with hints of greenery, looks great as a Thanksgiving table centerpiece. Bonus: Decoupage a white pumpkin with blue and white toile wallpaper.
14——Frilly Lace Pumpkins
Hot glue lace and sewing trim on orange pumpkins and sprinkle them down the center of the table. Orange flower and bittersweet add a soft touch. Bonus: Form napkins into a bow shape and slip a gold napkin ring over the center.
15——Thanksgiving Table Centerpiece
This floral pumpkin centerpiece may look ornate, but it's actually incredibly easy to make. The crafter in question simply carved a gourd and filled it with a bouquet she got from the grocery store!
