Rooftop gardens are the ultimate urban retreat, but they come with challenges like limited space, weight constraints, and high maintenance. These issues can sometimes make it difficult to find a good option for decor.
That’s where rooftop artificial green walls shine!
These clever solutions provide stunning greenery with none of the fuss and can quickly turn your rooftop into a dreamy oasis.
In this blog, we’ll explore their benefits, styling tips, and the best green wall options to elevate your space.
Why Choose Artificial Green Walls for Rooftop Gardens?
If you’ve ever struggled with keeping plants alive or working around rooftop limitations, artificial green walls can be your saving grace.
Really, there’s so much they can bring you.
Let’s dive into why they’re a good choice for your rooftop garden:
1. They’re low-maintenance
When you think of a garden that never needs watering, pruning, or fertilising – do you immediately jump to say it only happens in a dream?
We get it, over the years, that’s exactly what it was. But nowadays, artificial wall panels are what will help you achieve this dream.
While natural plants require constant attention, artificial green walls stay vibrant year-round without you lifting a finger. This is especially handy for people with busy schedules or those who want a low-effort escape.
2. They’re unique
Artificial walls come in endless styles, from sleek modern designs to lush tropical looks. You can customise them to match your personal taste or the rooftop’s existing vibe.
As a result, you’ll make them a unique feature that stands out compared to traditional potted plants or other conventional rooftop decor.
3. They’re lightweight
Real plants, soil, and pots can quickly add up in weight, which is a big no-no for many rooftops – especially if you’re renting.
But, if you go with artificial walls – you won’t have to think about these issues anymore. Faux green walls are lightweight and easy to install, making them perfect for rooftops with strict weight limits.
4. They’re weather-resistant
Rain, hail, or shine, artificial green walls are built to last.
While we love natural plants and green walls (they’re our muse, after all), they’re very sensitive. They may wither in extreme sun or get soggy in heavy rain, prompting us to worry about their longevity every time.
On the other hand, artificial green walls are UV-resistant and durable, staying fresh and vibrant no matter the weather.
5.They save space
Rooftops often have limited space, and going vertical is the key to maximising it. With an artificial green wall outdoors, you can add layers of greenery without using up precious floor space, leaving more room for seating, dining, or lounging.
6. They provide privacy
Need a bit of seclusion from prying eyes? We all do, but privacy is a luxury that’s not easy to come by these days, especially with our neighbours living so close to us.
Artificial wall panels can double as stylish privacy screens if you put them in between you and your neighbours, giving your rooftop a more intimate vibe. They’re functional and fashionable, solving practical issues while enhancing aesthetics.
How Do You Decorate a Rooftop Garden with Faux Green Walls?
Decorating with an artificial garden on roof spaces is easier than you think, and the results are nothing short of spectacular.
Here are 6 tips to help you style them to perfection:
- Create a statement wall: Cover an entire wall with artificial greenery to create a jaw-dropping backdrop. This will be perfect for photos, parties, or simply relaxing with a view that looks like paradise.
- Make a focal point: Use a single artificial wall panel as a focal point. You don’t have to cover the whole wall or fence to make an impact. Place it strategically in a corner or behind a seating area, and accentuate it with art or planters.
- Design a divider: Freestanding green walls are brilliant for dividing your rooftop into zones. Use one to separate dining areas from lounging spaces, or create a secluded reading nook. They’re functional and add a touch of greenery wherever needed.
- Layer it up: Combine your faux wall with natural touches like potted plants, hanging baskets, and chic furniture. This creates a layered, dynamic look that feels both cosy and curated.
- Light it up: Add lighting to highlight your green wall’s texture and design. Try uplights for a dramatic effect, fairy lights for whimsy, or even recessed lighting for a sleek vibe. The right lighting can completely transform your rooftop at night.
- Hide the ugly bits: Got unsightly pipes, utility boxes, or air conditioning units on your rooftop? An artificial rooftop garden can disguise these elements and keep your space stylish and clean.
