Blooming Artificial Plants Review | Photography by Fran Minifie Photography<\/a><\/p>\n

When I opened my coworking space in Totnes for female entrepreneurs and women in business<\/a> back in 2020, I designed it with the principles of biophilic design in mind. I wanted to use an earthy colour palette, texture, natural materials, organic shapes, and incorporate lots of plants. I wanted the users of the space to feel good in the work environment and wanted it to be a space that supported their mental health and physical wellbeing. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We moved into a new space last summer and our new female coworking space<\/a> is so much more biophilic. It is a converted barn with vaulted ceilings and huge roof lights<\/a> so it is flooded with natural light<\/a>. It also has lots of exposed brick and textured walls<\/a> and there are expansive views<\/a> of the countryside on all sides. Our neighbours are cows and pheasants, we have a little bird who comes and knocks on the windows and we\u2019ve had visits from squirrels and regular fly overs of geese. It couldn\u2019t be more perfect. So bringing in the principles of biophilic design<\/a> has been a breeze.<\/p>\n

When I took over the additional studio space upstairs, the previous tenant had some huge plants that they offered to sell me for many hundreds of pounds. Knowing myself and how bad I am at looking after plants I knew that this would not be a good investment for me. So instead I opted for faux plants<\/a> and I knew exactly where to get them from. Blooming Artificial<\/a> is a company I have used for many years when it comes to artificial plants and trees. I\u2019ve already featured a Blooming Artificial review years ago when I got some faux houseplants<\/a> for my home and then again when I used their plants in the first coworking space.<\/p>\n

Why I Chose Faux Plants for My Workspace<\/h2>\n

But what I really love about having faux plants is the lack of guilt. I never have to feel bad for not remembering to water them. I never have to watch them wither and droop because they are not getting enough light, or they are getting too much. I never have to watch them slowly get pot-bound because I am seemingly incapable of repotting my plants. Plant care is something I find extremely overwhelming. I try my very best, but it is just so hard to know what plants want and need. Online advice provides very little clarity. The very same symptoms could be a sign that you are not giving your plant enough water\u2026or that you are overwatering. I feel so bad when a plant dies because I have neglected to meet its needs.<\/p>\n

Luckily, over the years, I have learnt to buy super hardy plants that thrive on neglect, but even those plants grow and need some ongoing maintenance, and I am just not nurturing enough for this. So faux plants have become a staple in my office. They look wonderful, give us all the good feels and I do not end up crushed under the cripling weight of guilt.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why I wanted to share this Blooming Artificial review\u2014because these plants have solved a problem I didn\u2019t even realise could be solved so beautifully.<\/p>\n

What I\u2019ve Learned Since Discovering Biophilic Design<\/h2>\n

I have been writing about biophilic design since 2019, when I first became aware of the concept and wrote my first article on the topic for designer magazine<\/a>. Back then, it wasn\u2019t such a hot topic but since then we have seen the emergence of more human-centric design and a willingness to put the needs of people first when creating spaces. We now recognise that biophilic design has an important role to play in counteracting some of the more negative impacts of urbanisation and the persistent disconnect from nature that many of us are experiencing. With the rise in mental health problems and the prevalence of stress in our modern society, biophilic design and its associated benefits are one of the most powerful tools at our disposal to counteract the worrying developments we see in society. <\/p>\n

Biophilic design gives us the opportunity to support and nurture one another in a way that reduces stress and increases productivity. According to the report Human Spaces: Biophilic Design at Work<\/a><\/em> prepared by environmental consulting and strategic planning firm Terrapin Bright Green for Interface<\/a>, environmental psychology research tells us that being connected to nature actually assists with, psychological restoration. It also states that biophilic design supports multiple organizational outcomes, including
well-being, productivity and creativity.<\/p>\n
