Enhance your office interiors with an indoor vertical garden

In today’s workplaces, functionality and design go hand in hand. Employees and clients expect more than clean desks and fluorescent lights - they want comfortable, inspiring environments. Adding an indoor vertical garden, Like our Ambius Schiavello Vertical Garden, is one of the most effective ways to refresh office interiors without sacrificing space. Also known as a vertical green or plant wall, this living feature adds visual appeal, improves indoor air quality, and creates a calming atmosphere for everyone who walks through your doors.

Whether updating a single floor or planning a large-scale fit-out, indoor vertical gardens are a versatile and proven way to bring life to a space.

What is an indoor vertical garden?

Indoor vertical garden creatively brings nature into indoor spaces by arranging living plants on a vertical structure. Unlike traditional potted plants, a vertical garden is unique in that it can effortlessly partition a space or add charm along a wall. This makes it an excellent solution for maximising greenery in offices and commercial interiors where floor space may be limited. 

Systems like the Schiavello Vertical Garden offered by Ambius provide a sleek, freestanding framework that can be repositioned or customised to suit changing interior designs or workspace layouts. These units are especially popular in offices because they are modular, stylish, and offer impact.

Vertical plant walls enhance the overall look and feel of any indoor environment by turning blank walls into vibrant living features. Beyond their visual appeal, they contribute to employee well-being, improve indoor air quality, and create a calming connection to nature without taking up valuable space. In busy or high-traffic workspaces, an indoor vertical garden offers a modern and practical way to introduce the benefits of biophilic design.

Benefits of a vertical green wall in the workplace

A vertical green wall improves aesthetics, supports well - being, enhances productivity, and makes better use of office space.

Maximise space without sacrificing style

Many modern office layouts leave limited room for in some areas of the office. A vertical plant wall solves this by using vertical real estate to bring plants into high-traffic or compact areas. It’s a smart option for fitouts where space is tight, but a connection to nature is still important.

Clean the indoor air, naturally

Plants naturally absorb a range of indoor pollutants, some as serious as petrol related chemicals, as well as others like carbon dioxide and monoxide. These can have quite a serious impact on our health and wellbeing. How plants help is that they break these nasties down and release oxygen back into the indoor air. Creating healthier indoor air quality for you and your people. 

Boost productivity and morale

Research shows that natural elements, and plants stand out here, in the workplace can reduce stress, improve mood, and even increase concentration. A vertical green wall provides a calming focal point that can positively impact team wellbeing and performance.

Customise to fit your brand

With options like the Schiavello Vertical Garden, creating a look that fits your workplace aesthetic is easy. Whether you prefer structured designs, or lush cascading greenery, your vertical plant wall can be tailored to match your business identity and interior design.
