Bringing The Outside In

If you're looking for ways to enhance employee well-being, offices decorated with plants have been known to increase productivity by as much as 15% (so says a scientific study out of Australia). There are several benefits to be gained by bringing the outside in and incorporating plants into your office space.

Green Brightens Up Your Mood

Green is considered a mood enhancing color; therefore adding it to your office landscape beautifies the space. It soothes the eyes and mind of the people in your office, and helps to build a positive image of your office for visitors.

Plants Decrease Noise

Adding plants to the office interior will enhance the room acoustics, decreasing the spatial echo. Placement of these plants according to the type of flooring matters a great deal. Hard-wood floors, stone, and tile are quite suitable for plants as plants absorb noises efficiently when placed on such floors.

Plants Help You De-Stress

In theory, if you have placed plants on your office desk, you’ll be more inclined to take care of them. Paying attention to them can lead to forgetting about work stress for a while. Less stress will, in turn, lead to a happier and healthier you!

Increased Productivity

Plants soothe your mind, distract you (in a good way for a little while), and keep you close to nature; thus leading to improved productivity. A green environment, whether real or artificial, has a positive impact on performance and health.

Plants Add Illusive Spaciousness

Plants make a place look larger and wider. That’s why you must have noticed the plants are mostly placed at entrance or reception areas. This makes the place look big, leaving a nice impression on the visitors.
So, for enhanced productivity as well as a clean and healthy office environment, look no further than decorating it with lush green indoor plants. Stay close to nature to bring out the best in you!
