Artificial vs live plants in a venue
Plants make a venue warmer and more photogenic, but the choice between artificial and live greenery is mainly about maintenance and light. Live plants are beautiful where there is enough natural light and someone can water them — they bring a real atmosphere and scent.
In dark corners, near the bar, in draughts or high-traffic zones, live plants quickly suffer and require work. Artificial greenery solves exactly these cases: green walls, boxwood and trees look good without light or maintenance, year after year.
For indoor public spaces, choose UV-resistant and flame-retardant versions and ask for a certificate. The best solution is often a combination: live plants as an accent in bright areas, artificial green walls where live plants would not survive.
FAQ
Does artificial greenery look cheap?
No, not if you mix shades and textures and choose quality panels.
What about maintenance?
Artificial greenery needs occasional dusting; live plants need light, watering and trimming.
