If you love pictures and flowers, a PlantFrame is likely to be right up your street. The PlantFrame is a living picture that combines our slim walls and green walls into an innovative design that is compact if you have a smaller room, if you don’t have a lot of wall space, or if you don’t want it to take up too much room. Homes and offices can really benefit from enjoying this interior greenery, especially if you do not have much space for a garden outside, or if you don’t have as much time to get outside as you’d like.
The PlantFrame is incredibly easy to install, and we supply all the fittings. Our PlantFrames come in landscape, square, and portrait varieties, offering a style that best suits your criteria and layout.
Tips for looking after my green wall art
There are lots of examples where green wall art can be used if you are green-fingered and prefer nature over more traditional forms of art such as pictures and paintings. Here are a few bits of advice for making sure that your PlantFrame is being cared for effectively:
- Lighting – The PlantFrame needs access to light if you want it to look its best, so ensure it isn’t in a shaded area and think about using supplementary grow lights if required
- Pruning – If you want your PlantFrame to look neat rather than wild, prune back vines and leaves to encourage new growth to occur
- Watering – These are natural plants so ensure you can still water them effectively. You may need to think about what is underneath and behind the PlantFrame before installing it to avoid damage, and you might need to occasionally check that the right irrigation is taking place
- Fertilising – You may need to use organic fertilisers or liquid plant foods if you have specific plants on your wall that can help them thrive
Bedroom green walls – can the PlantFrame help me relax?
The bedroom may be the perfect place for your PlantFrame through the following benefits:
- Let the smell sail you off to sleep – They can stimulate the senses and their wonderful smells will remind you of nature and take you to a place of gentleness and relaxation. An instant sense of soothing will come about and help you get to sleep
- Fresher air to breathe – Air purifying plants on your PlantFrame such as the peace lily and the fern will naturally filter any toxins in the air, encouraging the deep breathing that is so important for a good night’s sleep
- Improve humidity – This can be more balanced through a PlantFrame, avoiding dry air that avoids damp
- Block out the sound – Wall art such as PlantFrames can absorb sound and reduce echoes, allowing a quieter environment for you to sleep in
Where should I position my PlantFrame?
The best answer for this is, where will you get the most benefit from? Do you want it in an office to provide greater relaxation with which you can work? The bedroom has been mentioned previously, while living rooms could be a great place if you have the space. A conservatory is another location that may benefit from a PlantFrame. A few questions you should ask yourself from a more practical standpoint include:
- Can the structure of the wall handle the potential weight of a PlantFrame, and how big do I want the PlantFrame to be?
- Which wall allows the light exposure to be at its maximum?
- Can I easily access the PlantFrame for pruning, watering etc?
- Do I have waterproof backing on my wall?
- Do I have the right wall anchors and hardware to build and place this product?
- Can I make sure the PlantFrame is exactly level and securely mounted?
All these considerations and preparations should be undertaken before installing your PlantFrame. But as soon as you do, sit back and feel the relaxation of nature take you away.
Any other benefits from PlantFrames?
Yes there certainly are, and this is the reason why green wall art canvas products are so important not just to our mental wellbeing, but to the wider environment as well. Plant walls help to reduce air pollution by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen, but in urban areas where concrete is the material of choice, CO2 runs rampant. A PlantFrame in an area that is heavily congested allows you to do your bit for the environment, and helps you stay healthier by breathing in better air.
They also offer a viable alternative in urban areas to pollinators such as bees and bugs that would otherwise die out and make our landscapes uninhabitable.
Plant walls help to reduce temperature and humidity in the air by reflecting the heat. PlantFrames do their bit to combat global warming by helping to cool temperatures wherever they are positioned, assisting the environment to fight back against the onslaught of man-made materials that warm our planet up.
