Buying artificial plants to complete the interior design of a business or to decorate the terrace of a restaurant is more than just a simple expense, it’s an investment that will pay off. No matter what type of business you are dealing with, a well-groomed and inviting facade will always encourage traffic and contribute to the development of new customers. Branding is a 360 degree concept.
On the inside, there is a good chance that attention to design will necessarily result in a more satisfying customer experience and that customers – new or regular – will linger longer and be more inclined to return. However, don’t get caught up in the game: opting for natural plants that don’t receive proper care and look neglected will negate all efforts. And that’s not counting the weekly maintenance and replacement costs that would result. That’s why it’s ideal to go artificial. Here are five ways to integrate artificial plants into a commercial space.
1- Plants on the ceiling
Whether a business is part of a rental space or not, maximizing every square foot of space is always a primary concern. When space is tight, using ceilings to display hanging plants is a good idea. But don’t think that simple hanging planters are all, there are many options that are now available on the market. Turning to a commercial designer for custom designs is an advisable option.
2- Potted plants
When space permits, incorporating large potted green plants is often the simplest and most effective solution. Although oversized models add a lot of character, the choice of plants should not be left to chance. You need to think about the desired ambiance: you won’t choose the same plants for a yoga center as for the dining room of a Greek restaurant! Opting for potted plants also makes it easier to make changes as the seasons change. This flexibility will certainly appeal to those who like to change their environment more regularly.
3- Plants to create divisional space
To define a space, there is nothing better than large planters placed on the ground in which many plants with an elongated shape will be integrated. Just think of certain varieties of green grasses or sansevierias. In addition to attenuating certain sounds, this way of integrating plants is also ideal for separating workspaces in an office or creating different zones in an open area, such as a waiting room. It’s the perfect marriage between design and function!
4- Plants in greenery walls
Finally, artificial plant walls create real focal points! They can take any size and shape you want and can be used to highlight an architectural detail or to camouflage an unsightly element.
If the most daring will integrate some signage elements, at the reception, they are a great way to integrate a logo. In smaller formats, the plant walls can even be framed and considered as real works of art!
5- Office plants
In addition to the benefits stated above, the use of plants in an organizational context is known to increase employee productivity. Therefore, office plants are very appropriate even in workspaces.
