In 2025, plants in open spaces are not just decorative, but also a key element of well-being, biophilia, and interior acoustics strategies. With the growing importance of mental health and work comfort, offices are increasingly turning to solutions that support employee well-being not only functionally but also aesthetically and sensorially. Plants, especially stabilized ones, are becoming a permanent element of office design – both in small coworking spaces and large corporate open-plan spaces. Their presence not only influences mood and stress levels but also helps divide the space and reduce noise. Stabilized species and maintenance-free plants, which require neither light nor watering, work best.
Why are plants in open spaces becoming crucial for health and efficiency?
The presence of plants in open-plan spaces improves well-being, reduces stress, and supports concentration. This is confirmed by environmental studies from the Scandinavian market, which found that the presence of greenery reduces fatigue by up to 45%.
From our experience at Vikingmoss , we know that plants also improve office micro-acoustics – cushion moss and stabilized ruscus are excellent at dampening reverberation. This is especially important in teamwork areas or call centers.
In many modern offices, plants also serve as space dividers – green walls made of moss, eucalyptus , or chico palm effectively define areas for quiet work, brainstorming, or relaxation. Aesthetic appeal combines with functionality.
What plants are most often chosen for open-plan offices?
moss are best suited for open-plan spaces , as they require no light, water, or fertilization. They allow for the creation of a modern, sustainable work environment.
The most frequently chosen stabilized ornamental plants include:
- Eucalyptus – in the populus and cinerea varieties. Known for its calming properties and beautiful, subtle fragrance, it pairs well with minimalist designs.
- Fennel – openwork and delicate, it adds a touch of lightness. It works well in hanging installations or as a vertical wall element.
- Millet – structurally reminiscent of cereals, it brings an element of nature and rusticity. It pairs well with wood and concrete.
- Echinops – its spherical inflorescences attract the eye, adding depth to the arrangement. In open-plan offices, it can act as a focal point in the composition.
- Broom bloom – small flowers create fluffy structures. Often used in seasonal decorations.
- Plumosum – extremely light and soft texture, looks good in moving air, e.g. near fans.
- Barba (saddle grass) – very decorative, adds dynamics, especially in spaces with high traffic.
- Jacaranda – deciduous, exotic, often used in premium arrangements.
- Lungifolia – massive and impressive, great for creating green screens.
- The chico palm tree has a soaring form, associated with elegance and exoticism. It introduces vertical accents.
- Ruscus – versatile and durable. Often used as a backdrop for more striking plants.
- Gypsophila – white, ethereal, contrasting with the dark green. It enhances the feeling of lightness.
- Amaranth – hanging shoots create a waterfall effect. It looks great in ceiling installations.
What types of moss work well in open spaces?
Stabilized moss is one of the most frequently chosen materials for modern offices. It allows you to create striking walls and panels without the need for water or light.
In our Vikingmoss offer we recommend:
- Reindeer moss – a natural structure, high acoustic absorption, available in many colors. Especially recommended for large wall panels.
- Cushion moss – its three-dimensional effect, softness and deep shade of green make it popular in reception areas, conference rooms and relaxation areas.
- Flat moss creates a uniform background and blends well with other plants. Ideal for vertical arrangements and moss logos.
Stabilized moss doesn't attract dust, doesn't develop allergens, and requires no maintenance. This makes it an ideal solution for spaces where daily plant care is difficult.
What decorating trends will dominate offices in 2025?
Trends in 2025 emphasize harmony with nature, sustainable design, and maintenance-free operation. This addresses the need for peace and focus in a modern work environment.
Green acoustic panels, vertical moss gardens, and minimalist floral installations are popular. Plant elements serve as spatial zoning, helping to create a quieter environment and separating teamwork spaces.
Color is also gaining importance. Forest greens, beiges, earthy browns, and subtle contrasts dominate. Floral arrangements are asymmetrical, irregular, and consistent with the wabi-sabi aesthetic.
Companies are also investing in personalization: moss walls with logos, office panels with ruscus in brand colors, custom installations above the kitchen area or hot desks.
Why is it worth choosing stabilized plants in open spaces?
Stabilized plants require no light, water, or pruning, yet they maintain a fresh, natural appearance for years.
This is an ideal solution for companies that want to combine aesthetics with functionality. Moss and stabilized compositions not only decorate but also actively support employee comfort.
Our clients often emphasize the savings resulting from the lack of plant maintenance – no watering means no risk of flooding the equipment, and no soil means no contamination.
Additionally, stabilized plants do not attract insects, wither, or produce dust. This makes them ideal even for spaces with high hygiene requirements, such as IT offices, creative agencies, and law firms.
How to choose plants to suit the character of your office?
To select the right plants for an open space, you should consider the interior style, acoustics, and functions of each zone.
For modern and minimalist offices, we recommend compositions with lichen and longofolia. For industrial interiors, we recommend stipa, millet, and chico palm. For premium arrangements, consider plumosum, amaranth, and jacaranda.
It is also important to plan the height of the composition – low (up to 1 m) in communication zones, medium (1–1.5 m) as visual partitions, high above 2 m in representative zones.
We encourage you to consult with our advisor who will help you choose the perfect set for your space.
