7 major benefits of artificial trees
Artificial trees have become increasingly popular in interior design due to their numerous benefits and versatility. These life-like replicas of natural trees offer a range of advantages that make them a desirable choice for enhancing indoor spaces. Quality artificial trees really lift the spirit and sense of well-being – without all the time needed to care for live plants and trees to keep them looking good. Artificial trees are definitely the answer to the trending organic design that is introducing natural materials and neutral colours to interior spaces to enhance the connection with nature – what better than adding some lush faux foliage!
Here we bring you 7 benefits for choosing artificial trees:
1. An eco-friendly solution
With a raised interest in eco-friendly products coupled with organic design, choosing artificial trees is eco-friendly. True, there will not be the same environmental benefits as having a real tree to absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen, but many artificial trees are made from environmentally-friendly materials and can help reduce the carbon footprint in several ways. The first way is because they do not need water, fertiliser or pesticides to keep them healthy. Another major consideration is that there are greater transportation costs incurred for live plants that have to be replaced much more regularly.
2. Low maintenance
Compared to real trees, artificial trees need minimal upkeep. They can be placed in spots that are far from ideal for real trees such as areas with a low amount of light, varying temperatures or even a draught. Artificial trees need no water or pruning – just an occasional gentle dust of their foliage to keep it looking good.
3. Artificial trees look
If you choose an artificial tree for your interior space, it will look really good all year round – there is no need to worry about seasonal changes or periods when a real tree would be dormant and not looking so good. The lush green foliage of an artificial tree remains consistently vibrant all year through.
4. Durability
High quality artificial trees are worth the initial investment. They are made using state-of-the-art materials which make them life-like – both in appearance and to touch. The matrerials used also prevent them from fading, wilting or shedding leaves and artificial trees do not attract pests or irritate alergies. Quality artificial trees are made with care and attention to detail and will maintain their beauty for years.
5. Versatility
Artificial trees come in a glorious assortment of sizes, shapes and colours and this allows designers to choose the perfect tree for their interior design. The trees range from tall, elegant palm trees that ooze a tropical themed ambiance to stylish small bonsai trees that are perfect for minimalist style.
6. Enhanced ambiance
Incorporating beautiful artificial trees will enhance any interior space. The tree/s can be used as a focal point or to provide a natural accent. They make an original and eye-catching focal point in an atrium or reception area, while smaller artificial trees add decorative accents in family living rooms and bedrooms. Artificial trees add natural beauty and sophistication to all types of spaces and they develop a welcoming and relaxing ambiance for those who use it.
7. A personal touch
Artificial trees are versatile so they can be adapted to suit any space. Their height, shape and the density of their foliage can all be all altered to create the desired visual effect and ambiance. This is a great advantage because whilst large trees definitely add a ‘wow’ factor to a space, they must be in proportion to the room they are in, otherwise they will look overpowering and make the room feel overcrowded.
Artificial trees offer endless possibilities to designers to create stunning and sustainable interior designs that will inspire and delight – no wonder they are such a popular way to add greenery and vibrancy in indoor spaces the fast and effective way….
