Studies out of England’s Oxford Brookes University reinforce that while indoor plants continue to cost less than most alternative corporate décor choices, they offer a guarantee of positively enhancing perception and contributing to well being.

The same studies conclude that people (clients or employees) perceive a building with interior planting as more expensive-looking, more welcoming and more relaxed. Conversely, the studies prove that people’s perceptions of a building are less positive in the absence of plants.

Although some facilities assign their entire design budget to sculpture and other forms of art, they are left without the certainty of aesthetic value that interior foliage provides. Moreover, plantscaping carries its aesthetic value into a wide array of settings. According to the Associated Landscaping Contractors of America, impressive arrangements can be found among traditional corporate designs as well as in today’s open, casual, “cyber-café” work-zones.
