What must not be missing in the office of the future? That's right: office plants. They have more advantages than you might think. We have summarized the most important facts about plants in the office for you. Enjoy reading and putting them into practice!
Recharge your batteries in nature - without leaving the office
Have you ever heard of the term Biophilia? This is where the concept of Biophilic Design originates from, which deals with the union of nature and architecture. Because people have always aspired to spend time in nature and benefit from its positive effects. In nature, people bring their natural rhythms of life into balance - this is more important today than ever. After all, many people live in big cities and spend a lot of time sitting in offices and looking at computer screens. Accordingly, it is time to rethink. Employees should be provided with a working environment in which they feel comfortable and which allows them to participate - even if only in part - in nature.
The idea of furnishing office space with plants is therefore both obvious and right. This is not only beneficial and health-promoting, but also has a whole host of additional positive effects on the rooms and the employees. A nice side effect is that plants with beautiful containers can of course also be used optimally as sustainable decoration.
Feel good with the right plants
Did you know that most people are willing to travel a longer way to get to their dream office? But what does this dream office look like? Fresh and green, for sure. Help it out and furnish your office with plants. The positive effects on health and psyche of room greening have been scientifically proven several times.
Whether ficus, monstera or palm tree - they all have in common that people feel better and more satisfied by the sight of them. Even creativity and productivity can be increased by their presence. So plants are real all-round talents when it comes to human health. Another plus: It has been proven that office plants can also prevent fatigue. Give your coffee machine a little breather and get yourself and your colleagues some natural caffeine boosters - they're sure to reduce that daily afternoon slump!
Urben Gardening improves the indoor climate in the office
There are a lot of reasons in favor of plants in the workplace. For one thing, plants improve the acoustics in the office in their capacity as sound absorbers - in other words, they provide a more muffled soundscape and are thus natural acoustic walls. This increases speech intelligibility in the office and improves communication with colleagues. Do you often talk on the phone? Plants also help to muffle background noise. Your counterpart on the phone will thank you for the quietness and intelligibility. And as you know, there's power in silence. Good acoustics in the office promote concentration and productivity while improving work efficiency.
At the same time, plants naturally reduce the concentration of pollutants to which we are constantly exposed. In fact, plants have terpenes - chemical substances that interact in a positive way with the human immune system. As a result, people are able to improve their physical protective measures. Perhaps you have heard of the so-called "killer cells"? Terpenes are the reason these can be created.
Would you believe us if we told you that office plants can even reduce sick days of employees? But it is so! Because especially with respiratory diseases the green high flyers help properly. Dry eyes and skin can also be reduced by a natural climate in the office.
Little space? Then we have an insider tip: Have you ever heard of moss pictures? They are not only a super eye-catcher in the office, but are also particularly easy to maintain. Perfect for all offices that want it simple - but still don't want to do without anything. Moss pictures come in many sizes and shapes, so there's the right picture for every square footage and budget. Need some inspiration? Why not incorporate a moss picture into open-space areas or meeting rooms? The moss improves acoustics while radiating an atmosphere of calm - just what a dynamic office needs.
Moss pictures are available in many shapes and sizes - of course also for rent
