Green Office Decor: Greening the Workspace
As an office renovation nears completion, it’s time to think about cosiness — to fill the halls and offices with a living, healthy atmosphere. Green office decor handles this best. Numerous studies have proven the positive effect of plants on people: they calm the nervous system and reduce tension, which is why most capital-city organisations consider greening a must.
In this guide we focus on the practical solutions of office greenery — vertical gardens, phytomodules, stabilised moss and live plants as eco accents. The concept of phytodesign itself and its effect on the team are covered in detail in the separate article Office Phytodesign: Greening the Interior.
Solutions for green office decor
Modern technologies offer innovative greening formats, including green living walls that bloom even in winter. For vertical greening, phytomodules are used, able to turn an office into an oasis of freshness. They are installed right after the renovation is finished, and for ease of installation and plant care they have practically no equal.
Phytomodules suit not only shade-tolerant, undemanding plants but also flowering and exotic ones — though such specimens will need replacing when they lose their decorative appeal. And for darkened rooms, the best option is stabilised moss: it keeps its look for years and needs neither light nor watering.
Live plants as eco accents
Live plants — succulents, decorative-leaf and beautifully flowering ones — are not just decor but oxygen generators. Thanks to them, staff breathe cleaner air, which benefits wellbeing and minimises illness. Greening also keeps humidity at a normal level — especially relevant for offices packed with computers and office equipment that dries out the air.
So green decor today is not just a fashionable trend but a way to create an optimal microclimate. And the bright jade colour of greenery helps maintain activity and productivity and gives aesthetic pleasure.
How greenery affects mood and productivity
A workspace devoid of greenery looks gloomy and lifeless, whereas greening makes an office more comfortable for people. Plants calm, reduce tension and help work more productively without distraction.

How to choose plants for greening
Plant selection is based on many criteria — the density and height of the crown, size, colour and leaf shape all matter. Plants with leaves and flowers of various colours and shapes bring freshness and give a room a special charm.
General guidelines when choosing:
- for most zones — shade-tolerant, undemanding species;
- for accents — flowering or exotic plants (being ready to replace them off-season);
- for darkened rooms — stabilised moss;
- avoid plants that need complex care or have sharp smells.
With greening, it is easy to embellish even the most modest interior.

Phytomodules are a system for vertical greening that turns a wall into a living green oasis. They are installed after a renovation, are simple to set up and care for, and suit both undemanding and flowering or exotic plants.
For darkened zones, stabilised moss works best: it needs no light or watering, keeps its decorative look for years and lets you green even rooms without windows.
