I want to divide office space in a natural, attractive way. How can I use plants or living walls as room dividers?
Using plants as dividers is a great biophilic design strategy. Here's how:
1. Movable Planters
- What: Put tall plants like Snake Plants or ZZ Plants in pots with wheels or long planters. You can easily move them around.
- How: Line them up between desks to make a quiet zone that still feels open.
- Tip: With wheels, you can quickly change an open area into a meeting spot.
2. Living Green Walls
- What: Plants growing vertically on a frame, either on a wall or as a free-standing screen.
- How: Use ready-made panel systems. Choose climbing plants like Pothos for full coverage.
- Tip: Some systems use water (hydro) instead of soil, which means less mess and fewer bugs.
3. Plant Shelves
- What: Open shelves filled with a mix of plants.
- How: Put them between areas. Use hanging plants on top and leafy plants below to make a "green curtain."
- Tip: Shelves with an open design let light through and feel less heavy than a solid wall.
4. Moss Walls
- What: Panels made of preserved moss (like Reindeer moss).
- How: Hang them on walls as a natural-looking divider or backdrop.
- Tip: They need no water, light, or care, are good at soaking up sound, and add a stylish touch to places like meeting rooms.
