Stabilized and dried plants for the home office are the perfect solution for any space, combining aesthetic appeal with practicality. In an era of intense remote work, more and more people are seeking durable, maintenance-free greenery that doesn't require regular maintenance. Introducing such plants into the home office can create a pleasant atmosphere conducive to concentration and creativity.
At Vikingmoss, as a company specializing in decorative, preserved plants, we're seeing a growing trend of using our products in home office arrangements. Our experience shows that carefully selected, preserved and dried plants can completely transform the feel of a workspace, positively impacting well-being and productivity.
The benefits of stabilized and dried plants in the office space
Why is it worth choosing stabilized plants for your home office?
Stabilized plants are an ideal solution for office spaces due to their durability, maintenance-free nature, and natural aesthetic value, while eliminating the need for watering or lighting. By choosing this solution, we gain a natural decorative element that doesn't require our attention during busy work periods.
The stabilization process we use at Vikingmoss involves replacing the plant's with a special glycerin-based preservative mixture. This allows the plants to retain their elasticity, natural shape, and color for many years. Unlike artificial imitations, our stabilized products have the authentic texture and appearance of living plants.
Not needing watering is a huge advantage for busy people or those who travel frequently for work. Our clients especially appreciate the ability to leave their office for extended periods without worrying about the health of their plants. Furthermore, stabilized plants don't attract pests, don't cause allergies, and don't require pruning or replanting.
Another advantage is the ability to place stabilized plants anywhere in the office space, even in areas with limited light. This makes them ideal for home offices located in rooms with poor natural light.
What are the main differences between stabilized and dried plants?
Stabilized plants undergo a glycerin-based preservation process, maintaining their flexibility and natural appearance. Dried plants undergo a natural or controlled drying process, giving them a more rustic character. The choice between the two depends primarily on the desired aesthetic effect and the style of the office.
The stabilized specimens we offer at Vikingmossare more durable—they can maintain their appearance for up to 5-7 years under the right conditions. They also retain their natural softness and flexibility, making them very similar to living plants. Their colors can be both natural and enhanced with dyes, allowing for greater design possibilities.
Dried plants have a more matte, rustic appearance and are often more delicate in texture. Their shelf life is slightly shorter, although some species, such as pampas grass or ovate birch , may retain their appearance longer. Dried plants blend perfectly with natural materials like wood and stone, often found in office designs.
The table below shows the key differences between stabilized and dried plants:
| Characteristic | Stabilized plants | Dried plants |
|---|---|---|
| Preparation process | Glycerine preservation | Natural or controlled drying |
| Flexibility | Preserved | Limited, more fragile |
| Durability | up to 10 years | 3-5 years (average) |
| Texture | Soft, close to lifelike | Matte, rough |
| Color options | Wide range of colors | Mostly natural shades |
| Care | Protection against moisture and UV rays | Protection against moisture and dust |
| Price | Higher | Moderate |
The best stabilized plants for the home office
Which species of stabilized plants work best in an office space?
The best stabilized plants for office spaces are reindeer moss , stabilized eucalyptus ruscus , which combine durability with elegant appearance. These species have been tested by our company in a variety of arrangements and consistently enjoy customer recognition.
Reindeer moss is an absolute bestseller among stabilized office plants. Available in various shades of green (olive moss, light green, medium green) and custom colors (navy moss, red moss), it works perfectly as a decorative wall element or as a wall art piece. Its texture not only brings a natural element to the interior but also improves room acoustics, which is especially valuable during videoconferencing.
Stabilized eucalyptus, with its distinctive silver-gray leaves, adds elegance and sophistication to any office space. It works well both as a standalone decoration in a vase and as part of a larger arrangement. Its subtle appearance complements the minimalist, Scandinavian designs currently very popular in home offices.
Butcher's broom (Ruscus aculeatus), preserved, is a plant with an intense green color and an interesting form. Its stiff, flattened, leaf-like stems add an interesting accent to compositions. It is particularly striking in taller vases, where it can serve as a dominant decorative element.
Stabilized ruscus, like butcher's broom, is characterized by its intense green color and durable structure. Its advantage is its versatility—it looks good in both modern and more classic arrangements. Our Vikingmoss collection includes various varieties of ruscus, which can be tailored to individual preferences.

How to use stabilized moss in your home office design?
Stabilized moss can be used in the home office as a wall art, desk decoration, acoustic barrier, or branding element in the form of a company logo. This not only enhances the aesthetics of the room but also improves its acoustics. Vikingmoss clients shows that creative use of moss significantly impacts the quality of the workspace.
Moss prints are the most popular solution for office decorating. They can be ordered in a variety of sizes, from small frames to large, wall-to-wall installations. Framed moss requires no maintenance and provides a vibrant accent of color and texture. Compositions combining different types of moss—reindeer moss with flat moss or cushion moss—look particularly striking.
Desk decorations using moss can take the form of small arrangements in glass containers, flowerpots, or special stands. Such miniature "gardens" bring an element of nature into the immediate workspace without taking up valuable workspace.
Moss acoustic partitions are a functional solution, especially valuable in open-plan spaces or when sharing a home office with other household members. Moss panels not only visually separate the space but also absorb sound, promoting concentration during work or teleconferences.
A company logo made of moss is a great option for freelancers and self-employed individuals. These personalized elements can serve as a backdrop during video conferences, building a professional image. At Vikingmoss we offer moss logos in a variety of colors to match your company's visual identity.
Dried plants as an elegant home office element
Which dried plants work best in a home office?
The best dried plants for the home office include pampas grass, eggplant (Lagurus Ovatus), Italian helichrysum (Helichrysum Italicum), and dried thistle , which add a natural, organic element to the workspace. These species are long-lasting and require minimal maintenance, making them ideal for office spaces.
Pampas grass is an absolute hit among dried plants. Its fluffy, bright blooms add lightness and texture to any interior. In the home office, it looks great in tall vases placed on the floor or on shelves. Proven by our customers, pampas grass retains its appearance for many years, requiring only protection from moisture and dust.
Lagurus ovatus, also known as hare's tail, is a smaller alternative to pampas grass. Its small, fluffy flower heads, resembling rabbit's tails, look great in smaller arrangements on desks or shelves. This delicate grass adds a cozy, natural charm to any office.
Italian immortelle (Helichrysum Italicum), also known as immortelle, is a plant with distinctive yellow flowers and silvery stems. It retains its color and shape for a long time when dried. It adds a touch of color and interesting texture to an office space, perfectly complementing natural materials.
Dried thistle adds drama and character to any arrangement. Its spiky structure and geometric shape create an interesting contrast to smooth office surfaces. At Vikingmoss we offer a variety of dried thistle species that can be combined with other dried plants to create striking arrangements.
How to create effective compositions from dried plants?
Eye-catching dried plant arrangements can be created by selecting species of varying heights and textures, placing them in appropriate vases, and combining them with accessories such as metal hoops or glass elements. Our experience at Vikingmoss shows that the key to success is a balance between diversity and harmony.
The foundation of a successful arrangement is a suitable vase or container. For taller plants, like pampas grass or thistle, we recommend tall, slender vases that stabilize the arrangement. For shorter species, like ovate lily or helichrysum, flat bowls or organically shaped ceramic pots work well.
The principle of composition is to combine plants of varying heights and textures. For example, tall pampas grass can be a dominant feature, complemented by shorter blowballs and helichrysum. Adding a different texture, such as cotton twigs or teasel, will provide an interesting contrast.
Color is another important element. Dried plants are most often found in neutral shades—beige, brown, and muted yellow. This subdued palette blends seamlessly with most interiors, but can be enhanced by adding individual pops of color, such as dyed eucalyptus or colorful accessories.
The placement of the arrangement in the office space also matters. Larger arrangements look best on the floor next to the desk or on higher shelves. Smaller arrangements can be placed directly on the desk, preferably to the side, so as not to interfere with work but still remain in view.
Stabilized Eucalyptus – a versatile plant for the home office
What are the benefits of stabilized eucalyptus in an office space?
Stabilized eucalyptus brings elegance, a subtle aroma, and versatile applications to office spaces, while requiring no maintenance and maintaining its appearance for many years. At Vikingmoss we're seeing a growing popularity of this species among clients designing home offices.
One of the main advantages of stabilized eucalyptus is its stylistic versatility. It suits both modern, minimalist interiors and more traditional or rustic arrangements. Its silver-green leaves add subtlety and elegance to any space without dominating it.
Eucalyptus retains its delicate, natural scent even after the stabilization process, which is an added bonus in an office environment. The eucalyptus aroma is known for its relaxing and concentration-boosting properties—exactly what we need during intense work.
Durability is another key feature of stabilized eucalyptus. With proper care, it retains its appearance for 3-5 years, making it a cost-effective choice in the long term. Our customers appreciate the ability to enjoy the beauty of this plant without the need for regular replacement.
Its versatility is also worth mentioning. Stabilized eucalyptus looks great in vases, as part of wreaths or botanical paintings, and in compositions with other stabilized and dried plants. This versatility allows for frequent changes to the arrangement without having to purchase new plants.
How to arrange eucalyptus in different home office spaces?
Stabilized eucalyptus can be arranged in many ways: as a standalone vase decoration, as a component of botanical paintings, as a component of decorative wreaths, or as a complement to larger arrangements with moss and other plants. Its variety of uses makes it one of the most versatile decorative elements in the Vikingmoss .
In minimalist office spaces, single eucalyptus branches placed in simple glass vases work well. This minimalist design highlights the plant's natural elegance without overwhelming the small space. To enhance the effect, combine several vases of varying heights with single branches.
Lush eucalyptus bouquets, combining different varieties (e.g., Baby Blue, Populus, Parvifolia), look impressive in larger home offices. Such arrangements can serve as a decorative focal point for the space, placed on a side table or chest of drawers.
Botanical eucalyptus prints are elegant wall decorations that don't take up valuable workspace. At Vikingmoss , we create such compositions by placing stabilized branches in frames, often against a background of flat moss or lichen. Such prints can create entire galleries, adding character to an office space.
Eucalyptus wreaths are an unusual yet highly effective decorative element for the home office. Placed on doors or walls, they add a cozy, organic touch to the workspace. They work particularly well in offices decorated in Scandinavian or boho styles.
Practical solutions and inspiration for the home office
How to combine different types of stabilized and dried plants in one space?
Effectively combining stabilized and dried plants involves maintaining color balance, varying textures, and creating compositions of varying heights while maintaining stylistic consistency. Our experience at Vikingmoss shows that the key to success lies in thoughtful composition.
The basic rule is to choose plants with complementary colors. Neutral shades of dried grasses blend perfectly with the intense green of mosses or ruscus. It's worth introducing a single dominant color accent, for example, dyed eucalyptus or colorful reindeer moss, which will harmonize with other elements of the office design.
A variety of textures is another crucial element of a successful design. Juxtaposing fluffy pampas grass with smooth eucalyptus leaves or the rough surface of moss creates interesting contrasts. In an office space, this variation in texture adds depth and dynamics, breaking the monotony often found in workspaces.
The height and layout of the composition should be adapted to the scale of the room. In smaller home offices, vertical compositions work well, as they don't take up much space but add height. In larger rooms, more elaborate arrangements can be achieved, taking up more space.
Maintaining stylistic consistency is also important. All elements—from plants to pots to accessories—should complement the overall style of the room. For example, for a modern, minimalist office, we recommend simple shapes and muted colors, while more organic, irregular compositions will work better for a boho or vintage-style space.
What ready-made solutions does Vikingmoss offer for home office arrangement?
Vikingmoss offers a wide selection of ready-made home office solutions, including moss and preserved plant art, wall panels, potted arrangements, and personalized moss logos. Our products are designed to combine aesthetic appeal with practicality, perfectly meeting the needs of those working from home.
Moss and stabilised plant prints are one of our signature solutions. Available in a variety of sizes and colors, they make an eye-catching wall decoration that requires no maintenance. We especially recommend our round moss prints , which soften the geometry of office spaces and add a touch of coziness.
Moss wall panels are a solution for those seeking more complex installations. We offer panels in various formats that can be combined to create green walls of any size. They're not only decorative but also improve room acoustics, which is especially important during videoconferencing.
Ready-made potted arrangements combining stabilized and dried plants are a great option for those who value the ease of rearranging their décor. Our arrangements are carefully selected in terms of color and texture, guaranteeing a harmonious effect without the need to choose the plants yourself.
A personalized moss logo is a unique option for freelancers and entrepreneurs. We create company logos from stabilized moss, which can serve as a videoconference backdrop or a branding element in an office space. Logos can be created in a variety of moss colors, matching the company's visual identity.
