Plants can make your living space feel closer to nature, but not when your plants are artificial.
While they are way easier to maintain, and lots of them look pretty realistic, interior designers usually don't like using them.
Here are some reasons, why.
Lack of authenticity
Artificial flowers often have a synthetic appearance that can be easily recognized, diminishing the overall aesthetic quality and authenticity of your interior design.
Limited sensory experience
Real flowers engage multiple senses, including sight, touch, and smell.
Their vibrant colors, delicate petals, and pleasant fragrance create a sensory experience that adds depth and liveliness to a space.
Difficulty in achieving a natural look
Arranging artificial flowers to mimic the organic and effortless appearance of real flowers can be challenging.
Durability and maintenance
While artificial flowers are designed to be long-lasting, they can still degrade over time.
Fading colors, fraying petals, and accumulating dust can diminish their visual appeal and require regular cleaning and maintenance.
Environmental impact
Artificial flowers are typically made from non-biodegradable materials, such as plastic and synthetic fabrics.
Emotional and psychological benefits
Real flowers have been shown to have positive effects on mood, well-being, and mental health.
Their presence can evoke feelings of joy, relaxation, and connection with nature.
