Humans have an innate connection with nature, a concept known as biophilia. Yet, modern workplaces often disconnect us from these natural elements. Reintroducing plants into office environments can help to re-establish this vital connection. In this blog we will look at the many ways that plant life can be introduced into the workplace. From small potted plants to large scale joinery planting.
Reasons to use floor standing or table top planting in your office
- Maximum impact at minimal cost. A floor standing plant is a striking addition to any room either on their own or in a cluster or two of three.
- Along with the planter you choose they reinforce your décor and accent your style.
- They anchor a room and draw your eye into the space
- They will complement any backdrop, and Oasis can ensure the correct live plant is selected according to the light levels available.
Reasons to use trough or cabinet planting in your office
- Planting on top of cabinets is a great use of otherwise dead space, reduces clutter and frees up floor space.
- The planting display gets its height from the cabinets or storage, so we can use shorter/cheaper plants but still create high impact.
- Planting at eye level creates a big visual impact and can help with the flow of a workspace.
- Cabinet planting helps create a sense of privacy for focused work
- Cabinet planting will provide visual and acoustic screening for confidential work.
Reasons to use moss or preserved foliage walls
- Moss walls and preserved foliage walls are high impact but low maintenance, they don’t require any water or sunlight.
- Either option will help with the acoustics of your office by reducing noise levels, particularly in open plan offices.
- Preserved moss and preserved foliage are extremely tactile, malleable and lightweight, allowing us to create bespoke pieces of any size or design.
- Moss walls are allergy friendly as they don’t produce allergens or pollen.
- Moss or preserved foliage walls are a great way of implementing visually appealing biophilic elements to your interior design without taking up any floorspace.
Reasons to use artificial trailing plants
- Trailing planting can help soften industrial fixtures.
- Replica and preserved trailing planting can heighten any lighting display. We can also supply Fire-rated and UV Rated options.
- Trailing plants can be attached to ceiling buffers and rafts to aid office acoustics and help absorb excessive noise.
- Trailing foliage can create a high impact display and a talking point in your workspace.
- It can also partner well with trough planting to enhance feelings of privacy for focused work.
