Many of us spend most of our time in the office, so it is important that the working atmosphere is favorable. We want our home to be beautiful and cozy, but why can’t we create the same atmosphere in the office. You are very lucky if you have your own office, but you can also invite your colleagues to decorate a shared office space. It is unlikely that you will find people who will refuse several flower pots with beautiful plants to make the office as cozy as home. Many commercial premises install flower pots even with huge and lush plants because it creates a friendly and positive mood not only for employees but also for customers and other guests. Choose even average plant pots with legs and you will see significant changes in your work mood.
Criteria for choosing flower pots for the office
To choose the right location for your flower pots, you need to consider several factors. It must be remembered that this is commercial premises, so plants should not interfere with the work process. Discuss all factors with your staff to select suitable flower pots and plant types. There are several points that you need to consider to make the right choice:
Location and convenience
First, choose a suitable place where the pot will stand. This should not be a walkway where the plant will interfere with you and other people walking. The best solution is the corner of the room. If this place is on a window, then think about which window you need to choose. You can open the window to ventilate the room, so your flower should not fall, freeze or dry out in the hot summer. If you choose a place on the table, then the plant should not interfere with your work with your PC or office papers.
Lighting
Your plants should be comfortable and grow properly. Choose a place with good lighting. This could be daylight or office lighting. Don't leave your plants in dark rooms.
Care
Even the pickiest plants need watering, pruning or spraying. But among your colleagues it will be difficult to find someone responsible for the plants and this task will fall on your shoulders. It is best to make a schedule so that each employee takes turns watching the potty. Creative ideas for growing plants for the office
There are different ideas on how and where to place flower pots in office premises. Perhaps you like minimalism and want to place one lush palm tree in the hallway. Or do you prefer a small conservatory in the office by installing a stunning flower arrangement of large, medium and small pots with all kinds of plants and flowers. There are a lot of ideas and you can implement some of them in your office space.
- Minimalism. All you need is one medium sized plant. It's better if it's lush. You can put it on the main window in your office. If you choose a large plant, place it in a corner. It is better to choose a tall (not lush) large plant. This decor will bring coziness to the room and will not disturb. It is also convenient due to the fact that it will be easier for you and your colleagues to care for one plant.
- Green corner. If you have enough space in your office, you can create a stunning green corner by installing plants of different heights. For ease of care, you can place a waterer somewhere next to or behind the pots. Of course, a beautiful green corner requires more attention. Some plants need to be pruned, some need to be sprayed, and some need to be replanted.
- Small pots. If you have a lot of tables in your office, it will be beautiful if you put small plants on each table. Your employees can bring their own plant that they like, or you can purchase the same species for each table. It could be a small cactus or small violets. But it is better to choose non-flowering types because they are less finicky to care for.
- No empty space. Some designers suggest landscaping the office in a unique way. The idea is to fill all the empty spaces in the room. This could be a place behind the sofa or an empty space along the window, behind a screen, or on the sides of the steps. Place different pots, floor pots on the floor, medium ones on the steps, small ones on bookshelves. Often artificial plants are placed in such interiors.
Your office can become cozier and more inviting with a few plants because they create a warmer atmosphere. You and your employees should be happy to come to the office and do their work in a good mood. Create this mood because your company's workflow and productivity will depend on it. Place even one plant on the window and you will notice how your office space has refreshed. Show your colleagues that you want the best working conditions for them and office space decor is one of them. Many managers are already switching to a home environment by adding cozy chairs, blankets, and paintings to the office. And don’t forget about plants that make people feel comfortable, warm and safe. Isn’t such a workplace the dream of every office worker?
