Botanical interior ideas for your shop or online store

Botanical interiors have been in vogue for some time now and there are no signs that this trend is about to change. It has to be said that nothing says serenity like a natural green interior in these tumultuous times. Here are some tips to help your customers install a botanical interior. 

What is a botanical interior?

Don’t want to include indoor plants in your collection? No problem! Botanical interiors are primarily natural interiors, where living plants alternate with reminders of nature and natural materials such as wood, rattan, bamboo, leather or wool. Your customers can create a soothing and cool environment without turning their home into a hothouse. 

There is no obligation to sell actual plants in your shop or online store to attract lovers of botanical interiors. Botanical accessories or botanical furniture made from natural materials are enough to make the most of this trend towards a green interior.

5 advantages of a botanical interior 

A botanical habitat is not just a trend. It has a genuine impact on the atmosphere of the home.  

1. Better air quality 

Your customers know, of course, that plants turn CO2 into oxygen. But what they may not know is that they reduce the risk of colds and prevent allergies from developing. Indoor plants are even an excellent remedy for headaches, as plants absorb formaldehyde in the air, a common gas that causes headaches. 

2. Better acoustics 

Plants also effectively absorb unwanted background noise. Varieties with large leaves best attenuate sound and this makes them ideal for the acoustics of a room! You don’t even have to choose real plants. Large artificial plants absorb noise just as well as their natural counterparts. 

3. Less stress

Taking care of plants is an opportunity to relax. Even simple references to nature can significantly reduce stress levels. Our subconscious associates nature with relaxation. A botanical interior is therefore a great way to relax after a busy day. 

4. Better focus

In the end, a combination of better air quality, improved acoustics and a relaxing atmosphere boosts concentration. According to a study by the University of Exeter in England, this can improve focus by up to 47%, which is ideal for working from home! 

5. Timeless style

Finally, botanical interiors seem to be standing the test of time compared to other interior design fads. Often you only need to change a few accessories from time to time and your green interior will be up to date with interior design trends again! And it offers nothing but benefits for your stress levels! 

Botanical wallpaper and other botanical accessories

Would you like to know which botanical accessories would be successful in your online store or interior decoration shop? Here are some suggestions that will work every time. 

Organic shapes 

Organic shapes that are found in nature such as rounds, curls and leaves, are sound investments for botanical interiors. 

Natural materials 

Include accessories that are manufactured from natural materials to your collection, such as wood, bamboo, rattan, wool or animal skins. 

Botanical wallpaper 

Botanical wallpaper comes in a wide range of colours and sizes: from discreet flowers and leaves to giant palm leaves or spectacular floral art.  

Wall decorations or natural prints 

If you think that your customers may find botanical wallpaper to be “too much”, why not offer them cushions, throws and other textiles with plant motifs. The current trend is towards small collections of frames representing variations on the same natural theme, for example mountain flowers or butterflies.
