Why are artificial plants so popular this year?

As a nation, we’ve spent more time than ever in our homes over the last 12 months. Time in lockdown has inevitably got us thinking about our home interiors, and how we can make our houses feel more like home. As well as giving tired walls a fresh lick of plant, sprucing up your décor with the right accessories is a cheap and easy way to achieve a whole new look in an instant.

Bringing the outdoors in has always been popular when giving any room a makeover, and a simple route to doing just that is by investing in some plant life. Embracing a more natural look with a touch of foliage doesn’t have to be costly or difficult to maintain thanks to artificial plants and trees.

Artificial plants and trees were hugely popular during 2020, and are appearing in even more homes this year, but why are they big news on the interior design scene once again? Here we take a closer look at the advantages of introducing artificial plants and trees to the home.

 

They look great all year round

Houseplants are simply beautiful additions to any size or style space. When buying the real thing however, that foliage may look great one season and rather sparse the next, which can leave your interior looking a little lacklustre. There’s no such trouble when decorating your home with artificial plants!

With artificial plants and trees, you don’t have to worry about seasonal changes. They don’t shed their flowers or leaves and don’t change appearance, meaning you can enjoy a beautiful look all year round.

 

They’re (almost) zero maintenance

Due to their synthetic nature, artificial plants and trees need very little care and attention. Unlike live plants, you don’t have to fertilise, water or prune them. All they need is the occasional wash to keep them looking fresh and beautiful.

 

They’re made for busy homes

Artificial plants and trees are extremely durable, which makes them a fabulous choice for the busiest of homes. They’re also completely pest and water resistant. Just be sure to keep them out of direct sunlight to maintain their vibrant look.

 

They’re more realistic than ever

The best artificial plants and trees look and feel exactly like the real thing. Thanks to the use of the highest grade materials, high quality artificial plants and trees look more realistic than ever. In fact, they’re pretty much indistinguishable from live plants.
