Plants bring freshness, colour and a touch of nature to any space. They are a key resource in interior design, as they can completely transform the atmosphere of a room. However, the question arises: is it better to opt for natural or artificial plants? The answer depends on several factors, such as the time available to care for them, the natural light of the space and the environmental conditions.
🌿 Natural plants: The ideal choice whenever possible
Natural plants not only decorate, they also purify the air and create a healthier environment. They are perfect for adding life to any corner of the house, from the kitchen to the bathroom. However, they do require certain care: adequate light, regular watering and optimal temperatures.
💡Tips for integrating natural plants into interior design:
✔️ Place shady or semi-shady plants in low-light interiors (such as sansevieria or pothos).
✔️ Choose hardy plants such as ficus or olive trees for heated rooms.
✔️ For a touch of green without too much maintenance, choose cacti or succulents.
🌱 Alternatives: artificial plants, dried flowers and preserved Plants
If the conditions in your home do not allow you to keep natural plants in good condition, there are quality alternatives that can provide the same feeling without the need for care.
✨Quality artificial plants: Forget about those that look like plastic. Nowadays there are hyper-realistic options that can be perfectly integrated into the design without losing naturalness.
✨Preserved plants: These are natural plants that have undergone a special treatment to maintain their appearance without the need for water or light.
✨Dried flowers: Perfect for more rustic or bohemian decorations, they bring warmth and texture to any space.
How to choose the best option?
If you have the time and the right conditions, natural plants will always be the best choice. However, if you are looking for something low-maintenance, you can combine quality artificial options with preserved plants or dried flowers. The important thing is that the design feels harmonious and in tune with the rest of the décor. At Aina Vallés Interiorismo, we always look for the best way to integrate greenery into our projects, either with natural plants or with solutions that maintain style and freshness without compromising the functionality of the space. 🌿✨
