Bring Your Office to Life with Interior Plants

Don't let your office feel like just four walls and fluorescent lights. Bring life into your office with biophilic design. 

What is Biophilic Design?

The fancy term simply means incorporating elements of nature into the interior design. This could look like natural light, wood textures, water features, or live plants. These elements help create spaces that feel connected to nature while still in a commercial space. 

 

For many commercial spaces, the easiest and most effective way to embrace biophilic design is adding interior plants. Strategically placed plants can brighten conference spaces, add warmth to waiting rooms, and bring life to otherwise empty corners.

Why Businesses Invest in Interior Plants

Interior plants isn't just about aesthetics, although, it will create a Instagram worthy shot in your office. Businesses incorporate interior plants because they create a better experience for both employees and visitors. 

Create a Great First Impression

First impressions are everything. When visitors enter they want to feel like the space is welcoming and professional. Reception areas, waiting rooms, and lobbies tell visitors a lot about the business. Fresh, healthy looking plants communicate this business cares about the details. 

Make the Workplace Inviting

Nobody wants to spend eight hours a day in a boring sterile environment. In the warm spring and summer months people are craving more time outdoors, to get away from the computer screens and gray walls. Interior plants help bring that connection inside the office space. The soothing green plant color creates a more comfortable workplace. The unique pop of color and texture creates a welcoming contrast to the usual office environment. Adding living elements to the office space makes employees feel more connected to the outdoors. 

Elevate the Employee Experience

A 2014 University of Exeter study, found a 15 percent increase in productivity after adding houseplants to the office. Subjects reported correlating results of increased positive perceptions of concentration in the office, air quality, and job satisfaction. A similar result came from a 2010 study from the New University of Technology Sydney, plants helped reduce stress level s and negative feelings by 58 percent. Interior plants won't completely change the work environment, but it is an easy way to add a little stress relief and positive experience for employees. 

Getting Plants in the Office

Now the idea is in place, here comes the challenge: keeping plants alive. 

 

While a lot of interior plants require minimal watering, there is still consistent care that goes into maintaining healthy plants for an entire commercial space. Watering schedules, pruning, fertilizing, pest monitoring, cleaning leaves, and replacing struggling plants all take time and expertise. Most businesses simply don't have someone on staff dedicated to plant care, they don't hire for green thumbs. Neglected plants can have the opposite effect desired, making an office look dated or poorly maintained.
