by | Jun 17, 2024 | Blog

In today’s fast-paced business environment, creating a productive and inspiring workspace is essential. We specialise in designing, installing, supplying, and maintaining plants for office spaces across the UK. Here, we explore five effective ways to use biophilia to enhance your office:

 

Floor standing plants are a great option if you're looking to enhance your office

Floor-Standing Displays

Floor-standing displays are a versatile and impactful way to introduce biophilia into your office. These large plant arrangements can be strategically placed in corners, alongside corridors, or at entry points to create an immediate visual impact. Not only do they improve air quality by absorbing pollutants, but they also provide a calming effect, which can reduce stress and increase productivity.

 

Benefits of Floor-Standing Displays:

  1. Improved Air Quality: Large plants like Ficus or Dracaena help filter the air.
  2. Aesthetic Appeal: They add a touch of greenery, enhancing the overall look of the office.
  3. Acoustic Benefits: These displays can also help reduce noise levels, making the office environment more conducive to concentration.

For more information on the types of floor-standing displays, see how we’ve used them in projects here.

 

 

Small table-top displays are a simple, easy way to accessorise an office

Small Table Top Displays

Small tabletop displays are perfect for personalising individual workstations. These compact plants can be placed on desks, shelves, or window sills, bringing a touch of nature directly into employees’ personal spaces. Popular choices include succulents, cacti, and small ferns, which are low-maintenance and add a pleasant visual element.

Benefits of Small Table Top Displays:

  1. Personalised Space: Enhances individual workstations with a personal touch.
  2. Low Maintenance: Easy to care for, making them ideal for busy professionals.
  3. Health Benefits: Helps reduce stress and improve mental well-being.

The FNZ project featured many end-of-desk units to add a touch of greenery to the office

End-of-Desk Units

End-of-desk units are a smart way to utilise otherwise unused space. These units can be customised to fit the end of desks or workstations, providing both a decorative and functional element. They can act as mini-partitions, offering a bit of privacy while still maintaining an open office feel.

 

Benefits of End-of-Desk Units:

  1. Space Utilisation: Maximises the use of office space.
  2. Enhanced Privacy: Provides a subtle division between workspaces.
  3. Customisable: Can be tailored to fit various desk sizes and styles.
