As we approach winter 2024, office planting design trends are evolving, with a strong focus on sustainability, biophilic design, and innovative ways to incorporate greenery into corporate environments. In this blog, we will explore the top planting trends that are defining office spaces this winter, and how they could aid your space.

NAAVA Walls

For busy professionals, keeping plants healthy can be a challenge. That’s where self-watering systems come in. These systems ensure that plants receive the optimal amount of water with minimal effort. Not only do they reduce water waste, but they also make plant care effortless for office managers. With sustainability being a top priority for many businesses, integrating self-watering systems into your office plant design can support your environmental goals while keeping your workspace looking lush year-round.

Bespoke Joinery

In 2024, the line between office furniture and planters is blurring. Plant-integrated furniture, such as desks with built-in planters and modular shelving systems, is becoming a go-to design choice for offices looking to seamlessly blend greenery into the workspace. We can actually create any bespoke furniture pieces and incorporate planting into that, or we can integrate planting into a piece of joinery you already have. Whether it’s a planter integrated into a workstation or bespoke joinery for a grand entrance, these innovative designs enhance both functionality and aesthetics. Planting design is becoming much less of a ‘plant pot in the corner of the room’, and much more of nature weaved into every aspect of design. It will be a whole mindset shift across the design industry but as we become more aware of the full potential of planting design, we’ll see more and more bespoke items in modern spaces.

DIVOC

Another trend gaining traction this winter is the use of plant dividers as privacy screens. Not only do these green dividers help create a sense of separation in open-plan offices, but they also improve air quality and add a calming, natural touch to your workspace. Our DIVOC range is both functional and aesthetically pleasing and can be used as modular dividers, meaning you can tailor the space exactly how you want/need it to be. We think this is something that often gets overlooked as we are all looking to the latest trend of ‘open offices’, but it’s important to recognise that we do need quieter spaces within a space that offers privacy. With wheels for additional functionality to this, you can still keep your open plan if you’d want to, but you then have the option to create those quieter areas for those that need/want it.
