You may opt to invest in a few storage boxes or cabinets to hide away craft supplies, clothes, games or whatever needs to be in the room but doesn't need to be on display. Minimize furniture and accessories to only those things that you need the most. PLACE LIVING THINGS Putting up plants or flowers on display helps us to de-stresses the atmosphere of your space.

by Sarang Awaze on Oct 14, 2019

NOWADAYS, companies are being meticulous in terms of office interior refurbishment. It is not just for design purposes but more on providing a relaxing, efficient and flexible environment for corporate individuals. A green-friendly workplace also boosts employee engagement, concentration levels, and perceived air quality. Studies have shown that greenery in the workplace promotes positive effects not just for the employees but for the business as well. Here are some tips on how and where you can use ‘GREENERY’ to improve efficiency in your workplace: AESHTETIC LOOK A sterile environment with cabinets, plain walls and documents everywhere are dull. Nobody wants to work in a place like that. Adding Greenery really improves the overall look of the surroundings. TIP: Biophilic designs are now being applied by many artists and interior designers. They integrate natural elements in every design by adding window vines or wall covering in a particular section of the office that will provide fresh and energizing looks. In Melbourne, many companies are having an artificial green wall in their reception area to look more welcoming and retaining office talent. You can also make wonders by replacing the modern chairs in the community area with furniture made of wood. BEING PRIVATE Dull cemented office space is boring and tends to reduce the efficiency of employees.

TIP: Install a fake hedge wall in meeting area/s or hedge fence panels in the canteen –this will serve an ergonomic division in the desired area. Blurring the boundaries between work and play to make the employees feel relaxed & encourage workplace flexibility. CREATIVITY A study has shown that looking at nature shifts our brain to a different status and makes employees feel calmer, creative and be able to concentrate on their duties. Not all plants fit your work environment. The particular circumstances of your area, such as natural daylight and how it will be maintained, should be kept in mind. TIP: In Sydney, vertical garden design is on the trend. It is used in large meeting places to create an outdoor atmosphere that makes it calmer. You can use artificial plants if the maintenance of real plants is difficult. Artificial plants, such as fake ivy walls are sustainable and can be added to the office aesthetics to make them look soothing to the eye. Also, you can mix both real and artificial plants according to the office design. To conclude, adding green space at work has so many advantages. Plants can reduce stress, make you happier, increase productivity, improve the look of an office, improve the quality of the air and provide comfort.

The Modern You: Implementing Artificial Vertical Gardens

by Georgina Oxley on Mar 16, 2018

Home is where the heart is. A person's garden can tell a lot about their character and personality. Many people create their garden and avoid taking time to examine the details. This is why you need to be aware of these useful and simple gardening techniques. Artificial vertical gardens hold the best solution for a modern and elegant look. Many of these rules below only would apply to REAL vertical gardens, but with our artificial range, anything is possible to create The Modern You. Here are some tips to implement artificial vertical gardens. 1. Decide on a Temporary or Permanent Structure In the situation where you're living in a rental space, don't build for the long term. There's nothing more heartbreaking then putting a lot of time and effort into something and then having to give it up later. Light-weight materials and wheels will come in handy when mobility is a major determinant factor. If you live in a home where your stay is permanent it is preferred to spend more time and money on decorations and heavier objects. With artificial vertical gardens you have the best of both worlds, easy to move and install, so our products will work in any temporary or permanent home. 2. Acknowledge Shade and Sunlight BUT not for Artificial Plants NEVER forget that both shade and sunlight are very important for healthy growth of any plant. In most occasions, hooks are used for positioning plants in various places according to their species. It always pays dividends to do a little bit of research on each plant and put them in areas of the garden which conforms to their growing needs. But fear not, these rules don't apply to artificial plants, they can get as little or as much sunlight, shade, rain, hail or any other season mother nature wants to throw at it. 3. Dimensions of the Garden When it comes to gardening designs, the height and weight of the structures are crucial. Furthermore, the design of the garden must be capable of holding the plants. An extremely low lying garden can get damaged easily while an excessively higher one can present problems when it comes to caring for the plants. Keep them in a good balance and think things through when first installing your garden. 4. Select a Unique Theme Put your creative juices into action here. The theme of the garden needs to reflect your personal taste and preferences. On top of this, it must also complement the interior and exterior design of the home. 5. Designer Vertical Gardens Invasive Plants Designer Vertical Gardens collection can suit any indoor or outdoor area that needs more love and attention. NEED more privacy, add some artificial Ivy to your wall or fence. 6. Be Diverse Never put all your eggs in one basket, be diverse. A few examples, if your living in a temporary residence and need a more vibrant area, UV Stabilised Portable Hedges will add that extra flavour. Also have a bland boring wall? Create an atmosphere with a Artificial Vertical Garden Discs. The options are endless. Keep a good balance and this will ne the NEW modern you. Read This Vertical Garden Basics and What They Are NOT
