Is 2022 the year to create a new look and feel for your workplace with the power of plants?
With the new year ahead of us, we thought we’d take you through our predictions for some of the biggest trends within the industry this year.
#1 Biophilic design
As plant-lovers, we’re huge fans of biophilic design but the good news is, the world is catching up with our obsession. We’ve gone into the benefits of biophilic design in a previous blog post. Simply put: biophilic design can inspire your customers, calm those who interact with the plantscape and reduce your carbon footprint.
Biophilic design refers to the merging of nature, greenery and planting in inside spaces – something we have more than three decades of experience with at Fleurtations Plantscapes. With consumers becoming more eco-conscious than ever before, environmentally friendly planting allows for installations that are beautiful and sustainable. They provide a timeless look (which is great for your budget,) and biophilic installations actually reduce your carbon footprint, making them a trend we see growing this year.
#2 Living walls
Similar to biophilic design, living walls allow you to create impact within a relatively small space. By making the most of your available height, you can create a stunning botanical installation with almost no floor space required.
With real plant living walls providing similar health and environmental benefits as biophilic design, living walls have the added bonus of adding screening and masking sounds in cavernous spaces. Artificial living walls are another trend we see becoming bigger in 2022 as they offer a greater choice of styles and colours of plants and foliage without the upkeep and maintenance of living plants.
At Fleurtations, we can create and install both living and artificial plant walls to your specification, no matter your space and budget. Simply get in touch to begin designing the living wall of your dreams.
#3 Interactive displays
When it comes to retail and hospitality, creating a memorable moment for your customer is everything. That’s why we’re seeing an increase in the number of interactive plant displays we are designing.
Why? Because they are showstoppers! Not only do they encourage user-generated content (gaining traction for your brand on social media) – they certainly get people talking. So what do we mean by interactive? Interactive plant displays encourage engagement, whether that’s a designated selfie spot – a backdrop or a life-sized object to pose with. In a content-driven world, businesses are always looking for ways to encourage interaction – and plants can help.
#4 Unique interior plant displays
Our final trend prediction for 2022 is unique interior plant displays. It goes without saying that creating something unique is a fast way to gain recognition and traction with your customers – and what better way than with a bespoke planting arrangement. More and more, stores are becoming a destination rather than just shops. Filled with marketing activations, sensory marketing and plants – the store of the future is a transformative space that can change with the times. Customers look for unique experiences – and interior plant displays offer you a way to change up your look quickly. Click to take a look at our case studies.
