08/05/2025 - Artificial Plants

London offices are evolving—designers and facility managers are now embracing biophilic design and sustainable aesthetics to boost employee wellbeing, reduce stress, and impress clients. Artificial plants are at the forefront of this transformation, offering year-round greenery without the upkeep.

1. Mediterranean-Inspired Office Interiors

The Mediterranean trend is growing in popularity—not just in gardens, but inside high-end London offices. Artificial olive trees and citrus plants add a touch of calm, evoking luxury and climate-savvy sophistication without requiring natural light or daily watering.

Try This:

  • Artificial olive trees in breakout spaces

  • Faux lavender or rosemary in planters at reception

2. Biophilic Matrix Planting for Commercial Spaces

Matrix planting—once exclusive to gardens—is now being mimicked indoors using a blend of artificial trailing plants, grasses, and statement foliage. It’s a cost-effective way to introduce nature into larger commercial interiors like co-working hubs, clinics, and showrooms.

Green Envee Tip:
Use layered green walls or cluster potted faux grasses at floor level to create an immersive, calming environment.

3. Sustainable Aesthetics with Climate-Conscious Design

In a city that’s leading the charge on ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance), artificial plants are a smart solution for companies that want greenery without the carbon cost of constant maintenance.

Why it works:

  • No watering = less energy usage

  • No soil = cleaner air systems

  • No allergens = healthier for staff

With hybrid working still in full swing, companies are investing in environments that entice staff back into the office. Artificial plants help foster a sense of calm, promote productivity, and show employees their wellbeing matters.

5. Oversized Artificial Plants for Impactful Design

Gone are the days of small tabletop plants. London design studios are specifying oversized artificial plants like giant palms, fiddle leaf figs, and monstera to make bold statements in open-plan offices and atriums.

Ideas:

  • Anchor points in hotel lobbies

  • Framing co-working zones

  • Softening the look of glass partitions
