How Artificial Flora Can Enhance Your Interior Design

There’s been a lot of conversations about the best way to connect a home with nature. Is it opting for open spaces, organic palettes, or natural materials? Each method has its benefits, but if there’s one way we love adding a touch of the outdoors to any space, it's through plants and floral arrangements. But if the upkeep of real plants has stopped you from adding greenery to your home, we have the perfect solution - artificial flora. Artificial flora is ideal for creating a connection with nature while also enhancing your interior design. 

We’re chatting with Elme Living to learn more about this topic while also exploring their new artificial flora collection. 

A Look Inside the Latest Artificial Plant Range 

Elme Living’s latest collection of artificial flora features new products that correlate with the current trends in interior design, taking inspiration from sleek structural and architectural elements. Each piece has been crafted with a high level of realism to help elevate and bring a touch of organicness into your projects. This harmonious blend of art and nature means artificial flora has never looked so good. 

1. Bringing the Outdoors In

One of the key elements of interior design is the seamless integration of outdoor elements into indoor spaces. This is easily achieved through the art of greenery. Artificial flora is the perfect solution to introducing greenery into spaces where natural plants may not thrive, such as rooms with low light, or for a low maintenance option. Artificial flora also allows the flexibility to change and swap your pieces seasonally, or even just for a room refresh. Need we say more?

2. Embracing Interior Design Styles with Flora

Plants and greenery serve a much greater purpose than simply adding decoration to a space. They can be essential in defining and enhancing the interior design style of your project. For example, consider the stunning olive tree: if you’re creating a Mediterranean-inspired space, an olive tree might be the perfect addition to emphasise this particular style. Similarly, in coastal homes, palm-like plants are ideal for introducing an extra touch of beach-inspired atmosphere.

3. Moving with the Trends

Bold lines, minimalist shapes, organic movements. The interior design industry is currently featuring a lot of striking structural elements. However, these aspects aren’t just limited to architecture or contemporary designs. Artificial flora is a simple and strategic way to bring this trend into a design project. For example, structural stems work beautifully in minimalist and modern interiors, where their bold lines and sculptural qualities can stand out without overwhelming the space. Placed in a large, sleek vase, these stems can serve as a focal point in a room, drawing the eye and adding a dynamic element to the design.

4. Infusing Personality and Style

Artificial plants also offer endless possibilities for personalisation in any interior design project. Unlike live plants, artificial flora provides the flexibility to select pieces that perfectly align with different styles and preferences. Whether it’s a minimalist aesthetic with sleek, sculptural stems or a lush, bohemian vibe with cascading greenery, artificial plants can be tailored to enhance the unique character of any space.
