Office greening: the complete 2026 guide

Greening your offices is no longer a decorative luxury: it is a measurable lever for wellbeing, performance and brand image. From the meeting room to the open space, plants transform the work experience. Here is how to take action, from choosing the right solution to budgeting.

Plants in the office work on three complementary levels: employee wellbeing, acoustic comfort and company image.

Wellbeing, focus and quality of work life

Several studies in environmental psychology link the presence of plants to lower perceived stress and better concentration. As part of a quality-of-work-life approach, a green wall in a reception or break area sends a strong signal to teams. To go further, read our guide to biophilic design at the office.

Acoustics: softening open-space noise

Foliage, living or preserved, absorbs part of the sound reflections. In an open-plan floor, a green partition or a wall on a large surface reduces reverberation and background noise, without resorting to visible acoustic panels.

Brand image and employer brand

A greened reception lobby makes a lasting impression on visitors and candidates alike. It is a durable image investment, photographed, shared, that anchors your environmental values in a tangible, differentiating element.

Two main families meet different needs. The preserved green wall needs no water, no light and no maintenance: ideal for spaces with no maintenance constraint. The living green wall, irrigated and made of air-purifying plants, offers a maximum 'nature' effect in large volumes.

Beyond the wall, two formats are gaining ground in offices: the green partition, which visually separates the zones of an open space while letting light through, and the green ceiling, which dresses high volumes (atriums, double-height lobbies) for a spectacular, enveloping effect.

The budget depends on the surface area, the chosen solution (preserved or living) and the complexity of installation. As each project is a bespoke study, the simplest approach is to tell us about your space and receive a personalised, free quote.

From sculptural walls to plant frescoes and event scenography, our projects show what can be created for a professional environment.

Preserved botanical mural in a hallway, Dublin

In a hallway or circulation area, the preserved botanical mural turns a transit space into a sensory journey, with no maintenance constraints at all.

Does a green wall require much maintenance?

A preserved wall requires no maintenance: no watering, no trimming. A living wall needs regular upkeep, irrigation checks, fertilising and periodic visits, usually covered by a maintenance contract.

What is the lifespan?

A preserved green wall keeps its appearance for several years (often 7 to 10) when sheltered from direct sun and humidity. A living wall, properly maintained, is long-lasting: the plants renew themselves naturally over time.

Can it be installed on an occupied site?

Yes. Installations are planned to limit disruption, with out-of-hours work if needed. Installing a preserved wall is particularly fast and clean, with no water supply to connect.
