Creating the right atmosphere is essential in the world of dining. It’s not just about the food anymore; customers seek a complete experience. The lighting, music, and decor all affect how your guests feel when they walk through your doors.
And if there’s one trend that continues to thrive in restaurant design, it’s the clever use of greenery. But here’s the catch: live plants can be a handful. That’s where artificial greenery steps in to transform your restaurant space without the high maintenance.
At Evergreen Direct, we know how artificial plants can completely change a restaurant’s vibe. Let’s explore how you can use greenery to create an unforgettable dining experience.
Why Artificial Greenery Works Wonders for Restaurants
First things first, why choose artificial plants over real ones?
Restaurants are busy places with constant foot traffic, variable lighting, and various temperature changes. Live plants often struggle to thrive in these environments. Artificial greenery, on the other hand, offers a hassle-free, gorgeous solution.
Here’s why it’s a smart choice:
- Low Maintenance: No watering schedules, soil spills, or plant replacements exist. It’s effortless beauty all year round.
- Consistent Look: Artificial plants look lush and vibrant daily, with no drooping leaves or sad-looking stems.
- Cost-Effective: Save on maintenance, replacements, and specialist care.
- Creative Flexibility: Install greenery even in windowless corners, ceilings, or anywhere you dream of.
Our handcrafted artificial plants at Evergreen Direct are designed to look so lifelike, even the most discerning diner won’t spot the difference!
Key Spaces To Add Greenery In Your Restaurant
Designing a restaurant is not just about slapping a few plants in the corners. Strategic placement can completely redefine your space.
Entrance Areas
Your entrance is your first impression. Make it count! Welcome diners with elegant artificial trees or topiary features that set the tone for what’s inside.
Dining Spaces
Use artificial hedges as dividers between tables to create cosy, intimate areas. A little bit of green can provide privacy while maintaining an open, airy feel.
Ceiling Installations
Overhead greenery is a big trend right now. Think hanging plants, trailing ivy, or even dramatic full ceiling installations, a fantastic way to create a talking point and a truly immersive dining experience.
Feature Walls and Green Walls
Artificial green walls are a brilliant way to add a wow factor. Not only do they look incredible, but they also double as Instagram-worthy backdrops for diners, free marketing at its finest!
Outdoor Spaces
Got a patio or terrace? Outdoor-rated artificial plants can instantly add style and comfort, even when the British weather isn’t playing nice.
Choosing The Right Artificial Plants For Your Restaurant
Not all artificial plants are created equal. Here’s what to keep in mind:
- Go for Botanical Accuracy: Look for plants that have been meticulously crafted to mirror the real thing. Our plants are so realistic, it’s almost uncanny!
- Safety First: Choose UV-protected and fire-resistant options, especially in commercial spaces.
- Mix Textures and Styles: A combination of lush ferns, delicate ivy, and statement trees can create a dynamic, natural-looking interior.
- Match Your Theme: Whether you’re aiming for a tropical paradise, an urban jungle, or a classic English garden vibe, there’s greenery to suit every concept.
