Interest in vertical greenery is growing within the design of non-residential indoor spaces. Think of green walls with plants, moss walls or panels, and planters used as natural dividers. Vertical greenery offers an efficient and versatile solution to create both functional and aesthetic added value. Read this article to discover the exact benefits of vertical greenery.
Why choose vertical greenery?
Vertical greenery offers a wide range of benefits, both practical and visual. It allows you to make a maximum green impact with minimal floor space. This makes it especially suitable for offices, hospitality environments, educational settings, and other public indoor spaces.
Here are the main benefits:
1. Space-efficient and flexibly applicable
In many modern interiors, floor space is limited. Vertical greenery makes optimal use of the available space by going upwards. Green walls or panels can be installed against existing walls, as freestanding elements or integrated into furniture and interior solutions. Planters with tall planting used as dividers also allow workspaces to be visually separated without compromising openness.
2. Acoustic value
Poor acoustics are a common challenge in open-plan workspaces. Green walls and planting help absorb sound waves and reduce reverberation. This creates a quieter working environment and increases comfort for employees and visitors. Moss walls, in particular, are highly effective for sound absorption and are also maintenance-free.
3. Improves indoor climate and supports well-being
Plants contribute to a healthier indoor climate. They increase humidity, improve air quality and offer a visual connection to nature. This has a proven positive effect on well-being, concentration, and productivity. As a result, organisations focused on workplace wellness increasingly choose green elements in interior design.
4. Visual quality and appeal
Vertical greenery gives any space a high-end, natural appearance. It enhances the design, adds colour and dynamism, and makes a space more attractive for users and visitors. For businesses and institutions, it supports a professional and sustainable image.
5. Low-maintenance and sustainable solutions
Many vertical greenery solutions – such as moss walls or systems with automated irrigation – are low-maintenance or even maintenance-free. This reduces operational burden and makes them ideal for locations with limited day-to-day plant care. Green walls also support sustainability goals, especially when using circular materials and energy-efficient systems.
