Working from home has become a regular part of the week for many, but why are so many home offices still so bare and lackluster? In this blog, we provide tips on how to give your home office a green boost, with a combination of large floor plants, plants at eye level and even a beautiful bouquet of dried flowers.
Why plants are essential in your home office
- Decorative: Plants have beautiful colors, shapes and make an impression in any room.
- Air purifying: Many houseplants filter harmful substances from the air, which ensures a healthier workplace.
- Productivity: Research shows that a green environment reduces stress and helps improve your concentration.
- Cosiness and atmosphere: Plants bring warmth and liveliness to a space that can otherwise quickly feel chilly without colleagues.
- Peace and balance: The green of plants gives a feeling of nature and relaxation, even during busy work moments.
Boring!
In these three steps you will have a beautiful workroom or study:
1) Large plants for volume
A large plant can transform an empty corner of your home office into a focal point that brightens up the entire space. Here are some great options:
- Monstera deliciosa (cheese plant): This plant is known for its large, unusual leaves. It is easy to care for and fits well in both modern and classic interiors.
- Areca Palm: A palm adds a touch of tropical greenery and helps improve humidity in your home. Place it in a bright spot for best results.
- Ficus lyrata (fiddle leaf plant): With its large, glossy leaves, the Ficus is a stylish addition to your workspace. Ideal for a well-lit corner.
2) Plants at eye level
Depending on your situation, you can also place plants at eye level. For example, think of hanging plants, such as the Aeschynantus, Senecio or Ceropegia. Or place a wall shelf to place plants on. FloraStore has an extensive collection of smaller plants that are well suited for this. Click here.
3) Small plants and dried flowers on your desk
In addition to larger plants and hanging plants, your desk or windowsill should not be missing. Compact plants are ideal to brighten up your workplace without taking up too much space. Or choose a set of houseplants. Combine this with a stylish bouquet dried flowers to add variety and color. There is always something that fits next to your monitor.
General tips for a green workplace
- Mix it up: Combine large floor plants, eye-level plants and small desk plants for a balanced interior.
- Think about light: Choose plants that match the amount of light in your home office. Do you have little daylight? Consider shade plants such as a Zamioculcas.
- Be practical: Use jars with a watertight interior to prevent leaks.
- Maintenance routine: Choose a fixed time to water your plants and spray them occasionally.
With a few well-chosen plants and a bouquet of dried flowers, you can transform your home office into an inspiring, atmospheric and healthy workplace. Whether you opt for a large Monstera in the corner, hanging plants on the wall, or compact plants on your desk, a green interior makes working from home a lot more pleasant!
