Looking to add greenery to your home, office or workspace? You could do a lot worse than opting for some indoor artificial plants. They’re simple, effective, and look great. Whether you’re looking to brighten up a dull corner at home, transform your office into a more inviting space, or simply bring a sense of calm to your environment, fake indoor plants offer a perfect solution, with none of the usual hassle.

From large statement trees to small potted accents, faux indoor plants have evolved dramatically in recent years. No longer plastic-looking or obviously artificial, today’s premium indoor faux plants are virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. So, what are your options? What makes them so appealing? And how do they stack up against their living counterparts?

Let’s take a closer look.

The Many Types of Indoor Artificial Plants

When it comes to choosing greenery for your interiors, the variety available is impressive.

Green walls: These attractive features remain one of the most popular choices for commercial and residential interiors alike. Artificial green walls offer a lush, vertical solution that turns plain walls into stunning features. Ideal for receptions, hallways, and feature backdrops, they bring drama and elegance to a space instantly.

Large indoor faux trees: Trees such as realistic artificial olive trees or ficus, act as bold design elements. They add height, structure, and impact to a room, all without the usual light, water, or space requirements of real trees.

Medium and small artificial indoor plants: You can use these for desktops, shelves, and corners that need a splash of green. Whether you’re going for structured boxwood balls or softer trailing foliage, these options allow for easy layering of texture and colour throughout your space.

Artificial bushes and shrubs A great way to add density to a planting scheme, and ideal for creating boundaries or zones in open-plan areas.

How to Maintain Fake Indoor Plants

One of the biggest advantages of indoor artificial plants is the low maintenance. No watering. No pruning. No sunlight required.

A simple dust or wipe down every few weeks is usually enough to keep them looking fresh. If you’re using higher-end options with UV protection (particularly near windows), they’ll stay vibrant and lifelike for years without fading. Really good products will come with a warranty to protect you against colour change as well.

Compare this with the effort and ongoing costs of real faux plants: watering schedules, soil maintenance, replacing dying plants, or dealing with pests. It’s immediately obvious why so many people are making the switch.

Why Indoor Artificial Plants Are So Popular

The reasons are clear:

They’re always in season: No wilting, no dying leaves. Your greenery stays green all year round.
They suit any space: Even the darkest corner or windowless room can be filled with life.
They’re allergy-friendly: No pollen, no soil, perfect for sensitive environments.
They’re cost-effective: Especially over time, there are no ongoing costs for plant care or replacement.

The growing variety on the market means there’s something for every style, from ultra-modern to classic English garden. Plus, the quality now available means you don’t have to compromise on realism.

Commercial Use: Artificial Plants for Offices and Beyond

Indoor artificial plants aren’t just for homes. In fact, some of their biggest fans are in the commercial sector.

Offices, hotels, restaurants, retail spaces, and public buildings use indoor artificial plants to create ambience, improve aesthetics, and even boost well-being. With no need for natural light or irrigation, indoor artificial plants installations are ideal for hard-to-maintain spaces like lobbies, corridors, and open-plan offices.
