Monday, February 1st, 2010

Plants can have a big impact in transforming any home and workplace. They are not only pleasing to the eye, but they can also add a feeling of relaxation and tranquillity.

Scientific studies have shown that introducing plants into the workplace can help lower sick leave and increase productivity. These are facts that are scientifically proven, and are a major reason for the increase in the popularity of office plants worldwide. So much so, that it’s rare to find an office that is not fitted out with plants.

Research has also found that these psychological effects are not achieved by using real plants. Artificial plants and flowers (providing they are realistic) can also have similar effects. Green foliage creates a change in environment whether it is artificial or real.

Nowadays you won’t find it easy to find low quality silk plants and flowers. Modern design techniques mean that most silk plants and flowers are now so realistic that it’s hard to spot the difference from the original. For instance, many artificial trees and plants now include natural wood stems.
