Artificial plants have come a long way, and in 2025, they will remain a key feature in interior design. With styles evolving and expectations rising, interior designers are constantly looking for realistic greenery that fits seamlessly into any environment.
At Evergreen Direct, we work closely with designers across the UK to provide bespoke artificial plants that help transform spaces, large or small, into stylish, low-maintenance interiors.
Why Artificial Plants Remain a Favourite for Interior Designers
Designers choose artificial plants for many reasons. They offer year-round greenery, need no sunlight, and remove the hassle of watering or upkeep. More importantly, they solve problems.
Artificial plants are the answer in spaces where natural plants struggle, such as dark corners, temperature-sensitive areas, or high-traffic commercial interiors.
Plus, they look fantastic. With so many shapes, textures, and styles available, there’s an artificial option for every type of room and design brief.
What Are the Key Plant Trends in 2025?
Interior design in 2025 is all about contrast and calm. There’s a growing demand for organic textures, muted tones, and visual greenery that enhances well-being. Designers want plants that look natural and fit clean, structured layouts.
We’re seeing a lot of interest in vertical installations, dramatic single-tree statements, and small-scale plants for shelf and desk styling.
Evergreen Direct has shaped our range around these trends, offering everything from oversized artificial trees to small, real-touch desk plants that bring subtle greenery into refined spaces.
1. Real-Touch Artificial Plants That Feel Like the Real Thing
One of the biggest changes in recent years is the quality of real-touch artificial plants. These aren’t your basic plastic options.
They feel soft to the touch, have natural veining in the leaves, and mimic how real plants grow. Designers love them because they create an authentic look without perfect lighting or regular care.
At Evergreen Direct, we offer real-touch options across a wide selection of foliage, from Monstera and Ficus to trailing vines and grasses. These plants look just as good close-up as they do from across the room, making them perfect for lounges, showrooms and reception areas.
2. Large Artificial Trees That Make a Statement
Big spaces need big ideas, and nothing creates a focal point like a large artificial tree. In 2025, interior designers will use trees like olives, birds of paradise, and figs to anchor open-plan rooms and add architectural interest.
These trees offer structure, height and drama without seasonal change or mess. Our bespoke artificial trees at Evergreen are hand-built to your size and style requirements, giving you full creative control.
Whether you’re designing a hotel entrance, office breakout space or residential atrium, a statement tree can tie everything together. With options for indoor and outdoor use, these trees are as durable as they are eye-catching.
3. Vertical Green Walls and Moss Features for Biophilic Design
Biophilic design continues to shape interiors across the UK. One of the easiest ways to bring this concept into a space is through artificial green walls. These panels use a mix of foliage to mimic vertical planting, providing colour and texture in places where traditional greenery wouldn’t thrive.
From reception backdrops to stairwell features, designers use faux green walls to soften architecture and inject a natural feel.
Evergreen’s range includes modular panels that can be adapted to any wall size and moss-style finishes for a more sculptural effect. The best part is that they look perfect without light or maintenance, making them ideal for commercial projects or spaces with difficult conditions.
4. Compact Faux Plants for Minimalist Spaces
Not every interior has room for a full tree or large planter. That’s where smaller faux plants come in. In 2025, designers use compact greenery to add detail and warmth to shelves, desks, and ledges.
Think potted ferns, succulents, and small artificial snake plants that sit neatly in a corner or work surface. These plants contrast softly to clean, modern lines and work well with Japandi or Scandinavian-inspired styles. Evergreen offers a wide selection of these smaller pieces, each crafted to the same high standard as our larger plants.
They’re easy to style and move, making them perfect for home offices, rental properties and client spaces where flexibility matters.
5. UV-Resistant and Sustainable Artificial Greenery
Longevity and performance are just as important as looks. In 2025, designers will ask more questions about durability, UV protection, and sustainability, especially when specifying greenery for commercial use or exterior installations.
Evergreen Direct’s artificial plants are built to last. Many of our products are UV-resistant and can withstand various climates without fading or becoming brittle. This makes a big difference for outdoor spaces, from rooftop terraces to garden rooms.
We also consider environmental factors during manufacture, using durable materials that help reduce waste over time. It means you get realistic greenery with the confidence that it will keep its colour, shape, and finish long term.
