Interior Plants
Interior landscaping has
become increasingly popular
during the last 30 years.
Most architects now include
plants in their design
specification for new
shopping centres, office
complexes and other public
areas, and they are
something we all expect to
see when we walk through the
door. But what is it about
plants that makes them such
an important building
accessory?
The most obvious answer is
that they look attractive –
who can fail to be charmed
by the graceful arch of palm
leaves or the exotic beauty
of orchids? However, recent
research has shown that the
value of plants goes far
beyond the purely aesthetic.
Plants are actually good for
the building and its
occupants in a number of
subtle ways and are an
important element in
providing a pleasant,
tranquil environment where
people can work or relax.
