Whether it’s a walk in a local park at lunchtime or an outdoor run in the evening, nature can provide a complete contrast to the minimalist white offices that we have become so accustomed to spending our days in. Many of us appreciate greenery and the connection to the outside, so how can we look to bring some nature inside?
Nordic interior design influences have proved incredibly popular recently, and while minimalist design is filtering down to the office, many companies are looking for new ways to deliver on impressions. One of the perfect ways to do this is with Wall Panel Planters! This exciting and recently popularised concept combines inspiring artwork with natural beauty from indoor plants, allowing businesses to maximise both aesthetics and health benefits for the office, without eating into space.
Other options to divide up open-plan (and often noisy) offices are to incorporate Live Dividers or Green Walls. Rather than creating partitions using filing cabinets, Live Dividers provide a much more effective and attractive alternative. Green walls are the perfect addition for an office looking to create an impact. Not only do they provide a high density of decorative greenery without encroaching on valuable floor space, they are also extremely effective at improving environmental quality; such as humidity, air quality and noise attenuation. Moreover, Green Walls can now be fitted in almost any building!
With many offices taking the misguided approach to boost efficiency by favouring ‘stripped down’ and minimalist interiors, now is more important than ever to get personalising! Un-enriched office space has been proven to have a negative effect on employee wellbeing, as well as reducing productivity, creativity and engagement. While traditional interior landscaping may not be the most suitable option for the ever-popular concept of flexible space management (e.g. hot desking), the environment can easily be enriched by turning to innovative designs that are constantly evolving.
