You can’t miss it. In some of the most beautiful hotels, restaurants, retail spaces and corporate environments, one décor trend is making a quiet yet striking statement: custom-made giant artificial trees, crafted using real recycled wood trunks.
Far more than a decorative element in a commercial interior, these large artificial trees become the focal point of a space, creating a spectacular atmosphere while offering one major advantage: no maintenance.
More and more businesses are embracing this approach to bring a touch of nature indoors without the challenges associated with living plants and trees. The result? Warm, memorable spaces with an incredible level of realism that make an impression from the moment visitors arrive.

Why giant artificial trees are the latest décor trend?
Today, businesses are no longer looking to create spaces that are simply functional. They want to offer visitors a memorable experience. Whether it’s a senior living residence, corporate headquarters, boutique or shared space in a condominium complex, interior design has become an integral part of a business’s identity. Spaces are carefully designed to evoke emotion, promote well-being and leave a lasting impression.

This is one of the reasons custom artificial trees for hotels, restaurants and entrance lobbies are becoming increasingly popular. Their presence instantly adds height, character and a natural feel that can completely transform an indoor environment.
In commercial interior design, this approach is part of the growing biophilic design trend, which incorporates elements inspired by nature to create spaces that feel more welcoming, calming and inspiring.
The benefits of custom artificial trees
Custom artificial trees create a powerful visual impact while eliminating many of the challenges associated with living plants. Unlike a real tree, an artificial tree maintains its appearance year after year without requiring regular watering, pruning or specialized care. They can be used to:
- create a dramatic first impression at an entrance;
- enhance a large interior space;
- bring warmth and character to a contemporary environment;
- create a natural focal point that draws the eye;
- maintain a beautiful appearance year-round.
They are also an ideal solution for spaces where lighting conditions, humidity or limited access make it difficult or impossible to install a real tree. For projects subject to stricter fire safety requirements, it is also possible to create a fire-retardant artificial tree using materials and foliage designed to meet the requirements of certain public-sector and commercial environments.
Why use a recycled natural wood trunk?
Realism is what sets a high-end artificial tree apart from a standard model. To faithfully recreate the appearance of a mature tree—whether it’s an artificial roseleaf tree, artificial maidenhair tree or large artificial ficus—we use genuine recycled natural wood trunks. Each trunk has its own unique texture, curves and natural imperfections, making every creation one of a kind.

Combined with high-quality artificial foliage, these natural trunks create trees with an exceptionally realistic appearance. Beyond aesthetics, using recycled wood also gives an existing natural resource a second life, supporting a more sustainable approach to commercial interior design.
Where can you install a giant artificial tree?
Restaurants
A majestic artificial tree can become the centerpiece of a dining room, help define different areas or create a warm atmosphere that contributes to a memorable dining experience.
Hotels
In an entrance lobby or shared space, a giant artificial tree creates a wow factor from the very first moment and contributes to the upscale image of the property.
Hair Salons and Spas
Wellness-focused environments can particularly benefit from nature-inspired elements. Artificial trees help create a calming, zen-like atmosphere without the maintenance requirements of living plants.
Retail Stores and Commercial Spaces
Artificial trees naturally attract attention, enhance product displays and give visitors a distinctive environment they are more likely to remember.
Corporate Offices
Offices, corporate headquarters and reception areas are increasingly incorporating large artificial trees to create more welcoming environments and reinforce their brand image.
How is a custom-made giant artificial tree created?
Every project begins with an analysis of the space to understand the client’s objectives and the specific characteristics of the environment. Our specialists then determine the ideal dimensions, type of foliage, canopy shape and tree species best suited to the project.
The tree is then handcrafted using a genuine recycled wood trunk and high-quality artificial foliage. Once completed, it is installed directly on site so that it integrates seamlessly into its surroundings.
Whether it’s a majestic artificial olive tree, a faux ficus benjamina, a flowering cherry tree or a completely customized creation, every tree is designed to become a signature element of the interior design.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose a custom artificial tree instead of a standard model?
A custom artificial tree is designed to fit the dimensions, architecture and overall style of each project. It also offers an exceptional level of realism thanks to the use of genuine recycled natural wood trunks.
Do giant artificial trees require maintenance?
Very little. Unlike living trees, they require no watering, pruning or natural light. Occasional dusting is generally all that is needed to maintain their appearance.
What types of businesses can install a giant artificial tree?
Hotels, restaurants, retail stores, shopping centres, hair salons, spas, offices, corporate headquarters and reception areas are among the spaces that can benefit from this type of interior landscaping.
Can an artificial tree be completely customized?
Yes. The dimensions, tree species, type of foliage, canopy shape and even the trunk can be customized according to the requirements of each project.
Why use a genuine recycled wood trunk?
Natural wood offers textures, contours and details that are impossible to replicate artificially. Since every trunk is unique, it contributes to an exceptionally realistic artificial tree while giving an existing natural resource a second life.
Are fire-retardant artificial trees available?
Yes. Fire-retardant artificial trees can be designed to meet the safety requirements of certain environments. At Décors Véronneau, we offer a range of certified artificial plants, custom-made artificial trees and artificial green walls made with non-combustible materials that help reduce the spread of flames and smoke. These solutions are particularly well suited to public, commercial and other environments where stricter fire safety standards apply.
