The Complete Guide to Green Walls
A green wall—also known as a living wall or vertical garden—isn't just for looks. It's a versatile and functional element that serves various purposes. Whether you’re running a luxury hotel, restaurant, office, spa, or something else, a green wall can be a great fit for your space.
Let's explore the diverse uses of green walls in different settings.
Restaurant & Cafe Decor
Incorporating a green wall at your restaurant or cafe can serve so many purposes. Indoors, a green wall creates a serene environment year round. People in big cities such as Philadelphia, PA and Camden, NJ often struggle to get the connection to nature they’re searching for. A green wall takes your favorite natural elements and brings them inside.
On top of that, the air purification benefits are endless. Green walls work to filter pollutants and greatly improve indoor air quality. They also can help in reducing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present in indoor spaces, contributing to a healthier atmosphere for your guests. Restaurants and cafes are constantly cooking, frying, and creating a need for air purification. Install a green wall to make that happen.
Apartment Perks
If you’re a property manager in a metropolitan city, you know taking your listings from “apartments” to “luxury apartments” really comes down to the amenities. Residents are now on the hunt for on-premises gyms, private parking, rooftop decks, shared workspaces and more.
Our idea: create a vertical garden for your residents to enjoy. This can be installed in a shared patio, roofdeck, balcony, or something else. A greenwall filled with herbs creates a space for your residents to find fresh ingredients during the summer months. Growing your own food vertically is one of the best ways to maximize an urban space. You can also feel good about creating a little urban habitat for insects and organisms, thereby contributing to your local biodiversity.
Level Up Your Corporate Office
In professional settings, green walls enhance aesthetics, creating a calming environment that can positively impact productivity and mood. In a post-pandemic world, where many “don’t see the point” in going back to the office, making your space appealing can go a long way. They also serve as sound barriers, absorbing and dampening noise pollution in busy offices.
Promote Your Brand
A custom green wall to showcase your company name or event acts as decor, a photo op, and so much more. It showcases your company’s commitment to environmental consciousness. A green wall doesn’t have to be for utility, it can be a work of art. Our team loves using plants to create intricate designs and patterns.
All Things Wellness
If you’re in the health & wellness space, a green wall can go a long way. Interacting with nature, even indoors, has proven stress-reducing benefits. Adding natural accents to a wellness space is one of the fastest ways to create a soothing atmosphere. Biophilic design is an incredible way to create a therapeutic environment and put your guests at ease.
