We’ve got one of the most extensive collections of artificial green walls and plants in Australia (and beyond). But, even though we’ve got a lot to offer our clients, there are still times when the diversity of human tastes outpaces our ability to expand our selection.
We don’t mind this. In fact, we welcome it, because it tells us that more and more people are seeing the beauty of faux green walls and want to see how they can fit the products into their lives and homes.
And we like to believe that the more enthusiasts there are, the merrier.
With the range of preferences, though, comes a small caveat – we can’t possibly have a faux greenery product that’s perfect for every single person. But, it doesn’t mean we won’t try to make one for you or show you how to personalise it yourself.
If you’re ready to transform your space with a custom artificial green wall and have your own bespoke piece, keep reading.
Here, we’ll take you through why customisation is the way to go, how to personalise your green wall, and how the experts at Designer Plants can lend a helping hand.
Why Have a Custom Artificial Green Wall?
As we mentioned, our collection of artificial green wall panels is expansive—there’s truly something for everyone. But taste is as unique as fingerprints, so it can be difficult to cater to everyone all the time.
Still, you don’t have to settle for “close enough.”
You can design an artificial green wall that’s perfect for you and showcases your personality to a T.
Here are just a few reasons why creating a custom green wall may be a good idea for you:
- It’s one-of-a-kind: Your faux green wall will be a bespoke work of art, not part of a standard design. No one else will have the exact same look, which means it’s a true reflection of your style and personality.
- You can show off your personality: Love tropical vibes but want more bright flowers? Prefer sleek, minimalist greenery? By customising, you can do all this and more without sacrificing the style and interior you’ve worked so hard for.
- It will fit your space perfectly: Regardless of the space you’re decorating, you can make sure your faux green wall fits in like a glove with your existing decor. By tailoring its size and shape, you won’t have any awkward gaps or weird layouts.
- You can get creative: Designing your own wall is incredibly satisfying. You’ll get the chance to experiment with different ideas, colours, and layouts, which is fun and therapeutic. Studies show that engaging in creative projects helps mental health, reduces stress, and improves overall well-being.
- It enhances functionality: Customising also allows you to incorporate practical elements, like a soundproofing layer or a wall that doubles as a room divider. You won’t have to build and tear down permanent structures to get additional benefits.
- It’s future-proof design: As trends evolve, you can adapt your custom wall to stay ahead of the curve. For example, you can swap out flowers seasonally or add new ornaments. Even though your faux green wall won’t grow physically, it can growwithyou.
So why not roll up your sleeves and create a masterpiece that’ll have everyone talking?
How Do You Create a Custom Artificial Green Wall?
Designing your own artificial plant wall can be as hands-on or hands-off as you like. If you want to take an active part in the creation of your faux green wall, we can help.
Here are 4 easy ways to customise your green wall:
Add Flower Stems
Flowers can bring your vertical garden wall to life and make it pop that much more.
Adding flower stems to your green wall is simple and the process is even easier if you follow our handy video guide.
Simply choose a faux flower stem that complements your space and the green foliage. Many of our customers choose the Jasmine stem because it’s green and makes the fauxliege that much more lush. Alternatively, you can add some colour with the small artificial Lavender Wall Plant, which you can also add to a table arrangement.
Attach them securely to the panel, and voilà—instant charm!
Add Lights
If you’re not a fan of flowers, we’ve got other pieces of advice for you. To make your wall stand out, even in the dark, we suggest adding lights.
String fairy lights among the fauxliege to highlight the curves of your faux green wall. Or, place spotlights above or below the panel to help it shine when the moon is out.
Smaller, lightweight lights work best—you don’t want heavy bulbs pulling on your panel and damaging it.
Recently, we’ve had a few clients undertake lighting projects for their vertical gardens, and we can’t recommend them enough, especially for outdoor spaces and evening get-togethers.
Add Ornaments
If you want more elaborate decor, don’t shy away from adding ornaments to your fauxliege. This doesn’t mean hanging Christmas decor on it (although you can do that, too), rather sourcing small items that look good or mean something to you and hanging them on the leaves.
Seasonal ornaments can also play a role here. For example, you can use baubles and tinsel for Christmas or pastel eggs for Easter.
Changing up the decor keeps your wall fresh and fun. You could even create themes for parties by hanging banners and buntings whenever needed. Make sure your ornaments are lightweight to ensure you don’t damage the fauxliege.
Add Signs
If you’re working with a commercial space, you can customise your artificial green wall by adding a sign. For example, take this hair salon project we did a few years back:
The client enveloped their store sign in fauxliege, which accented it and helped it stand out.
Another client, a juice bar in the US, hung a neon sign on their artificial moss wall, which looked like this:
As you can see, a faux greenery wall paired with your business logo can turn heads. This trick can also work at home—like a “Welcome” sign in your entryway or a phrase you adore in your living room to remind you of all the good things in life.
How Can Designer Plants Help Your Customisation Efforts?
Sometimes, you need a bit more pizzazz than what a DIY approach can offer.
That’s where Designer Plants comes in.
If you want a larger custom installation, our team can create custom artificial plants, trees, and topiary—even beyond the basics. For more detailed information about our range of custom tall trees and topiary, check out our offer or contact us to ask about custom projects you want to do.
Alternatively, you can get a standard artificial green wall and customise the installation itself to create something intricate. For example, a few months ago a client used our Boxwood Hedge Screen, Mediterranean Fern Green Wall and the Luxury Flowering Buxus Hedge, cut them into their desired shape and size, and created a wavy panel pattern around their poolside:
Another client asked us to use our existing faux green walls to build a freestanding panel that doesn’t damage their fence:
If you want, we can even install your fake vertical garden on the ceiling. The only thing is – you’ll need our professional team to do it correctly. Otherwise, it may take you much longer than you’d like.
To get help from our team, share your vision with us—photos, sketches, or just a description—and we’ll help you figure out what’s doable, how much it will cost, and how quickly we can get it done.
With our help, your custom artificial green wall can be as creative and unique as you are.
