  • Vertical garden, the secrets of having an oasis in the home of professionals

If a space should feel especially original, consider an artificial vertical garden. These setups deliver the beauty and visual impact of a real vertical garden without the ongoing care living plants require. When choosing an artificial vertical garden, pick a location where the installation can become the focal point, enhancing the overall mood of the area. Invest in high‑quality artificial plants that look natural and endure daily use. Quality matters in ensuring the garden remains attractive and free from signs of wear over time.

Vertical garden: the best plants to create a wonderful space

The goal is to mix different types of artificial plants—vines, ferns, succulents, and blossoms—for a natural, layered appearance. Vary sizes, shapes, and textures to add depth and visual interest, just as a live garden would. Build a structure that suits the space’s style, using wood, metal, or plastic elements, or opt for ready‑made frames from specialty shops. Ensure the artificial plants are firmly secured and evenly distributed across the framework.

Decorative touches can elevate the look. Add photo frames, mirrors, clocks, or lighting to create a unique, personalized vertical garden. While artificial setups doner no watering or pruning, routine cleaning helps preserve their pristine appearance. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth or lightly dust them to remove accumulated dirt and keep colors vibrant.

Vertical garden ideas for Ikea spaces

For those who want a ready‑to‑assemble solution, a popular option is the Ikea range of artificial plant panels. These panels come with leaves in two color choices, designed to slot together with a simple click. They are maintenance‑free and stay lush without daily attention. Panels measure 26 by 26 centimeters and are priced at a modest level, making it easy to build a tall, impactful vertical garden with multiple panels.

Whether used to frame a balcony railing, embellish a courtyard wall, or transform a dull corner into a living wall, artificial vertical gardens offer durable beauty and flexibility. They are ideal for Canadian winters and American climates where outdoor greenery can be challenging, providing reliable color and texture year‑round.
