Plants for the kitchen are not only a decorative element, but also a functional complement to the culinary space. The introduction of green elements into the kitchen can contribute to improving air quality, increasing the aesthetics of the interior and creating a more pleasant atmosphere when preparing meals. In 2025, we observe a significant increase in plants in the context of the arrangement of the kitchen space.
Why should you put plants into the kitchen?
The introduction of plants into the kitchen space brings numerous benefits that go far beyond the aesthetic aspect. First of all, plants naturally cleanse the air, absorbing harmful chemicals often found in the kitchen , such as formaldehyde or benzene, which can be released during cooking or from finishing materials.
The presence of plants in the kitchen can reduce the concentration of volatile organic compounds by up to 25-30% compared to rooms without greenery. This is a significant improvement in air quality in a place where we spend a lot of time preparing meals.
Our experience shows that customers who have decided to introduce plants into their kitchens also notice an improvement in well -being and greater pleasure of being in this space . Greenery soothes the senses, reduces stress and creates a more harmonious environment.
In addition, some plants, such as kitchen herbs, have a practical function - they are always at hand during cooking, which allows you to quickly enrich the dishes with fresh spices. Our clients often emphasize that the ability to break a fresh leaf of basil or rosemary twig directly when preparing a meal is not only a practical advantage, but also adds satisfaction with cooking.
In the context of interior design trends of 2025, plants have become an integral part of modern kitchen arrangements, giving them character and coziness, while alleviating the raw, technological decor of contemporary cuisines.
What plants work in the kitchen?
Choosing the right plants for the kitchen should take into account the specific conditions in this room: variable temperature, periodically increased humidity and potentially limited light access. Based on our many years of observations and experience with clients, we can recommend several species that work particularly well in the kitchen environment.
Kitchen herbs are the first and natural choice for this room. Basil, rosemary, thyme, mint or oregano not only look beautiful, but also are a practical addition during cooking. Succulents, due to their immunity and minimum care requirements, are an excellent option for busy people. Aloe, a thick ovoa (tree of happiness) or various varieties of Echeveria tolerate variable conditions and less frequent watering.
| Plant | Light requirements | Watering frequency | Resistance to kitchen conditions |
| Aloe | Sure, dispersed | Every 2-3 weeks | Tall |
| Sansewieria | Semi -shade to light | Every 2-4 weeks | Very high |
| Ivy | Penumbra | Regularly, moderately | Mean |
| Kitchen herbs | Clear, direct | Regularly, abundantly | Average to Wysoka |
| Ferns | Penumbra | Regularly, moist substrate | High (at proper humidity) |
For a kitchen with limited access to natural light, we recommend Sansewieria (coil), Zygokaktus (Christmas cactus) and some varieties of common ivy, which tolerate partial shade well and less frequent watering.
Stabilized kitchen plants - a practical and decorative solution
Stabilized plants are an innovative solution for people looking for permanent greenery without the need for regular care. The stabilization process consists in replacing natural plant juices with a special preservative solution, which allows you to maintain the natural appearance and flexibility of plants for many years, without the need to water or access to light.
In Vikingmoss , we specialize in this type of solutions, offering a wide selection of stabilized plants ideal for kitchen spaces. Our experience shows that stabilized plants are particularly valued by customers who want to enjoy greenery, but are afraid of survival in demanding kitchen conditions or do not have time for regular care.
One of the biggest advantages of stabilized plants is their resistance to moisture, fat and variable temperatures - factors that in the kitchen can be a challenge for living plants. The popular plants stabilized for the kitchen are compositions of moss, ferns, eucalyptus and various decorative grasses. Particularly noteworthy are vertical gardens of stabilized moss, which can act as a natural image on the wall, introducing an element of nature without occupying a valuable working surface.
Dried plants for the kitchen - a lasting accent in the kitchen interior
Dried plants are a traditional, but still extremely popular method of introducing elements of nature into kitchen interiors. Unlike live or stabilized plants, dried plants undergo a process of natural dehydration, maintaining a characteristic appearance and structure, often with beautifully changed colors emphasizing their natural character.
The most popular dried plants used in kitchen arrangements are lavender, eucalyptus, sage, pampas and various species of cereal and grass. Our observations show that dried herbs are not only a decorative element, but also fill the kitchen with a pleasant, natural aroma that can persist for many months.
In 2025, we observe a return to the tradition of hanging dried kitchen herbs - not only as a decorative element, but also a practical way to store home spices. According to interior design trends, up to 65% of modern kitchens contain elements of dried plants as a reference to culinary traditions.
Our clients particularly value compositions of dried herbs and flowers, which we mount in a special framework, creating a kind of "botanical images" adapted to the interior of the kitchen. This solution is not only aesthetic, but also very practical - it does not require care, it is resistant to fat and moisture, and in addition it can be used as a home -made pantry of spices.
Moss in the kitchen - a modern way to green
Stabilized moss is an innovative solution, which in recent years has gained immense popularity in interior design, including kitchen spaces. As Vikingmoss , we specialize in this form of introducing nature into the interior, offering the highest quality products that have proven themselves in hundreds of implementation.
Stabilized moss is a natural moss subjected to a special maintenance process that maintains its flexibility, softness and intense color, while eliminating the need for watering and access to light. It is a perfect solution for the kitchen, where the conditions can be variable and the space for traditional potted plants is limited.
One of the biggest advantages of stabilized moss is its ability to absorb moisture from the air and give it back during dry days, which helps naturally regulate the humidity in the room. In the kitchen, where the humidity level often changes during cooking, this property is particularly valuable.
Vikingmoss offer includes various types of stabilized mosses that can be used in the kitchen:
- REVER BRABOT MOCH - fluffy, with an intense green color, ideal for creating small compositions on shelves or window sills
- Cushion moss - thick and compact, perfect for vertical gardens and moss images
- Flat moss - ideal for covering larger surfaces, creating subtitles or logo

How to choose plants for the kitchen for your style?
The choice of plants for the kitchen should harmonize with its architectural style and colors. Depending on the nature of the interior, different types of plants can emphasize its unique character or introduce the desired contrast. On the basis of many years of experience in interior design using botanical elements, we have developed several recommendations for the most popular kitchen styles.
For a Scandinavian style simple, geometric plant forms are perfect In this case, our clients often choose stabilized mosses in light shades of green, succulents in simple white pots and individual branches of eucalyptus in glass vases.
Dried herbs and flowers, lavender wreaths and compositions of dried grasses look great in rustic kitchens The compositions checked by our company are combinations of lavender, sage and rosemary, which not only look beautiful, but also fill the space with a pleasant aroma.
For modern, industrial kitchens, we recommend contrasting combinations of raw materials with living greenery. Vertical moss gardens stabilized in metal frames or geometric terrariums with succulents are a perfect complement to industrial aesthetics. Our projects show that such a contrast is particularly valued by customers who prefer modern design.
In eclectic and boho kitchens, more extravagant forms will work - colorful stabilized mosses, exotic ferns or artistic compositions made of dried flowers . Such interiors give the greatest freedom to experiment with botanical forms.
Plants in the kitchen and humidity and light conditions
The kitchen is a specific environment for plants due to variable humidity, temperature and varied access to natural light . When planning to introduce plants into the kitchen space, you should take into account these factors to provide plants with optimal development conditions or choose species that are resistant to these variables.
In terms of humidity, the kitchen is a paradoxical room - when cooking, the level of humidity can increase rapidly, and then quickly fall thanks to the operation of ventilation systems. Our experience shows that plants that tolerate such fluctuations include Fern, Brave, pillow moss and most kitchen herbs.
Light conditions are an equally important factor. According to our measurements, a typical living kitchen receives an average of 3-5 hours of direct sunlight per day, depending on the orientation of the windows. For kitchens with limited access to natural light, we recommend tolerating semi -shade, such as zygokaktus, aglaonema or various ivy varieties.
An alternative solution that has worked for our clients is the use of stabilized plants, such as mosses or ferns, which do not require access to sunlight. According to data from our customer satisfaction surveys, as many as 94% of people who decided on moss stabilized in the kitchen assess this solution as "very satisfying" due to the lack of the need to take into account light conditions.
Temperature is another factor to consider. During intensive cooking, the kitchen temperature may increase periodically by up to 5-7 ° C.
