Businesses are often seeking constant solutions to improve workplace productivity, together with employee health and motivation, but great value can be found in the use of office wall plants. At Planteria, we are proud of the fact that we can help organisations improve their working environments with greenery, and besides being beautiful, office wall plants can provide many other advantages that can help increase your team’s productivity and overall well-being.
Office wall plants, also known as living walls or vertical gardens, are a fantastic addition to any workplace. They provide a stunning natural aesthetic without taking up valuable floor space, making them perfect for offices of all sizes. Beyond their decorative appeal, office wall plants have many advantages that can significantly improve office design and working environments.
Green Walls
Living Pictures & Living Walls
A living picture is a limited art piece that has a surround and then a central area that is planted. These eye-catching displays can be showcased individually or grouped together for greater effect. Living walls, also known as vertical gardens or green walls, are one of the cleverest ways of bringing large amounts of greenery into the workspace.
These structures are a support framework for a number of plants, acting as a stunning visual feature whilst providing positive environmental and wellness benefits. Our living walls come in a variety of styles and sizes and can be tailored to fit different spaces and different aesthetics. Some of our installations have been full walls, making a strong impact, and others have been more small and subtle, adding a touch of green without overwhelming the space.
It is possible to have a living wall with a wide range of plants, from ferns and succulents to flowering plants, and this can be changed at different times of the year to create some interesting and creative displays.
Panels & Dividers
There are also living panels and dividers, which provide a more affordable and low-maintenance alternative to a full-scale living wall. As they come in a wide range of planting options, they can be replaced periodically to create different seasonal displays.
Because these portable versions of traditional, built-in living walls can be taken with you when relocating offices, they offer far greater convenience.
Moss Walls
We offer preserved moss walls in sixteen different colours, which can be used to create wall designs and even replicate logos. Although most moss is unsuitable for outdoor environments, it is ideal for indoor use, requiring minimal care while maintaining its appearance for a long time. Lightweight and very easy to install, moss walls bring a unique and natural touch to any office.
Artificial Living Walls
An artificial living wall can provide many of the design benefits of a real living wall but with significantly less maintenance and expense. Although artificial plants do not grow or help filter the air as real plants do, they retain their appearance over the long term.
The environmental impact of artificial plants is something that must also be considered since they are made of plastic. But, as with any other office furniture, they are very long-lasting and can be easily relocated when you are moving offices, making them very practical.
Planters
Modular planters are a type of wall-mounted planter that can be used to create different patterns to achieve certain aesthetic goals. They are also versatile in terms of size and design so that you can find the right green display that can complement your workspace.
As a way of creating a focal point on the wall or simply bringing some life to the office through small plants, modular planters are a convenient method of bringing nature into the interior of a building.
Benefits of Office Wall Plants
Improved Air Quality
Office wall plants display beautiful foliage while providing one of the most recognised benefits by improving air quality through their ability to purify it. Our offices can often have poor air quality, as chemicals from furniture, carpets and electronic devices make indoor air pollution a growing problem.
Office wall plants can help to clean dangerous chemicals in the air while maintaining proper humidity, resulting in a better environment for employees. This leads to reduced respiratory problems and fatigue in workers, which creates a more productive work environment.
Enhanced Employee Well-Being
Research has shown that a workplace with plants is beneficial for employees’ mental health. Research has shown that plants are good for our health in many ways: they help to reduce stress, improve focus and even boost our mood.
Office cultures can be stressful, but biophilic elements like wall plants are a soothing environment and a connection to nature. The literature highlights that employees working in green buildings have higher job satisfaction, improved focus, and better overall performance.
This means that incorporating office wall plants into the workplace can support businesses in creating a more enjoyable and supportive work environment.
Reduced Noise Levels
Open-plan offices are often noisy, and this can be distracting for workers and can reduce productivity. It is a good idea to include indoor plants as they help to absorb noise and stop the possibility of echoes. They have the ability to act as sound barriers with their leaves and structures, which means that sound does not travel as quickly as it would without them. In offices where phone calls, meetings and teamwork result in high noise levels, this is particularly useful. With the use of wall plants, employees are less distracted and can work more effectively.
The Looks & Brand Identity
The first impressions are important, and a well-designed office with plenty of greenery can leave a strong impression on employees, clients and visitors. Office wall plants can contribute to the sophistication of a space and produce a welcoming atmosphere that supports corporate social responsibility and does not negatively impact employee well-being. It could be a large living wall or just simple mounted planters, but it is sure to enhance the workplace experience.
Selecting the Right Office Wall Plants
Choosing the right plants for your office walls determines how easy they are to maintain and how long they will last. At Planteria, we take care of maintenance, and we will discuss the options that will suit your office space best during the consultation process.
Hassle-Free Maintenance
We understand that businesses want the benefits of greenery without the hassle of maintenance. That’s why we offer a full-service maintenance package, ensuring your office wall plants remain vibrant and healthy with minimal effort on your part.
Our team of experts takes care of everything, from watering and trimming to plant replacements when necessary. We also monitor plant health, adjust lighting conditions if required, and ensure that your installations remain in top condition all year round. With our professional maintenance services, you can enjoy the advantages of office wall plants without the worry of upkeep.
How We Work
Our process begins with an initial consultation, where we assess your organisation’s space, location, and corporate image. We then create bespoke designs, help to choose plants that will thrive in your environment and provide a tailored quote based on a minimum contract spend.
We also collaborate with interior design teams, incorporating our planting solutions into their mood boards and floor plans. Once a design and maintenance contract is agreed upon, our installation team delivers and installs the greenery with minimal disruption to your workplace.
Following installation, an assigned technician will make regular, scheduled visits to ensure that the plant displays are watered, fed, and maintained in perfect condition. Customer satisfaction is our priority, and our customer service team is always available to assist with any queries.
