The right greenery will brighten and enhance the ambiance of your business. Imagine customers entering your space to enjoy not only your services, but the full and lively environment you’ve created.
Over the years, we’ve helped countless restaurants, retail stores, hotels and Airbnbs find complimentary plants to match their customers’ experiences. Faux plants and flowers serve as subtle decor, adding life to the small details of your shop—details that perceptive and appreciative customers will notice.
Why Artificial Plants for Commercial Spaces?
Long-Lasting Beauty: Unlike fresh flowers that wilt quickly, high-quality artificial plants and flowers remain vibrant year-round, ensuring a consistently polished look.
Low Maintenance: No watering, trimming, or sunlight required—just an occasional cleaning to keep them looking their best.
Cost-Effective: While the initial investment may be higher than fresh flowers, artificial options eliminate the need for frequent replacements, saving businesses money in the long run.
Allergy-Friendly and Pet-Safe: Faux flowers are ideal for spaces where customers or staff may have allergies, and they are safe for pet-friendly establishments.
Restaurants and Artificial Plants
Restaurants require decor that enhances the dining experience without interfering with functionality. Many restaurant owners prefer hanging plants or compact potted plants that fit neatly into shelves, on tables and in corners.
- Hanging Ferns and Ivy: These provide a lush, cascading look without taking up table space. Perfect for creating a cozy, botanical atmosphere.
- Potted Herbs (Artificial Sage, Rosemary, or Basil): While not real, they contribute to an organic, farm-to-table aesthetic.
- Tabletop Succulents: Small, stylish, and modern, faux succulents add a decorative touch without getting in the way of dining setups.
Retail Stores and Artificial Flowers
Retail spaces often use artificial flowers and plants to create visually appealing displays that enhance their brand image and encourage customers to linger.
- Orchids or Roses in Window Displays: Luxurious and elegant, they create an inviting storefront appeal.
- Tall Faux Stems and Branches: Perfect for filling large floor vases and adding height to display areas.
- Floral Wreaths and Garlands: Used for framing entryways or shelving to add a seasonal or decorative touch.
Airbnbs and Artificial Flowers
Hotels and Airbnbs require decor that leaves a lasting impression on guests. Large floral focal points in lobbies and entryways can instantly elevate the ambiance.
- Artificial Cherry Blossom or Statement Trees: These add a refined, high-end look to hotel lobbies and Airbnb living spaces.
- Real Touch Floral Arrangements: Hyper-realistic faux flower arrangements provide a warm welcome on reception desks and entry tables.
- Trailing Pothos or Eucalyptus: Ideal for styling bookshelves and mantels, adding a fresh and inviting feel to guest rooms.
Considerations When Choosing Your Artificial Plants
- Quality Matters: Opt for high-quality, Real Touch or premium faux plants that closely mimic the look and feel of real greenery.
- Consider Your Space: Choose plants that fit the aesthetic and function of your business—compact for busy areas, larger pieces for open spaces.
- Seasonal Rotations: Swap out floral arrangements to reflect different seasons, keeping decor fresh and engaging.
- Proper Placement: Position plants where they enhance ambiance without obstructing workflow or customer interactions.
How to Style Faux Plants in Your Commercial Space
Creating an inviting and visually appealing retail space with artificial plants requires thoughtful placement and styling. Color theory and the basics of interior design can offer guidance for how to position your arrangements.
- Frame Your Entrance: Use tall artificial plants, such as potted olive trees, to create an inviting entrance that draws customers in. Floral wreaths and garlands around doorways can also add a seasonal touch.
- Enhance Product Displays: Place small potted plants or faux floral arrangements on display tables, shelves, and checkout counters to create a warm, welcoming environment without overwhelming the merchandise.
- Utilize Vertical Space: Hanging plants like trailing pothos or ivy can add greenery to walls, floating shelves, or ceiling installations, making the most of limited floor space.
- Define Shopping Zones: Large artificial planters or partitions with greenery can subtly guide customer flow while enhancing the overall aesthetic of the store.
- Adjust for Seasonal Appeal: Swap out flowers and greenery to reflect different seasons—bright florals in spring and summer, warm-toned foliage in autumn, and frosted greenery in winter.
