Top 5 Reasons to Use Fake Plants in Your Holiday Home
While there are a lot more than 5 reasons to use fake plants in your holiday home in Australia, we’ve compiled our top ones to make it easier for you.
So, why should you get artificial plants?
Fake plants are low-maintenance
One of the best parts about decorating with fake plants is how little attention they need.
Unlike real greenery, you don’t need to water, prune, or fertilize them. The only maintenance required is a quick dusting every now and then, which takes just a few minutes
You also don’t need to worry about your plants dying while you’re away. Whether your holiday home is by the sea, in the hills, or tucked away in the countryside, your artificial plants will look the same when you return, even if it’s months later. You save time and avoid the stress of coming back to dried or overgrown greenery.
Artificial plants are reusable
With artificial plants, you’re not tied to one place or layout. You can move them easily from home to home, or room to room, and they don’t need sunlight, drainage, or watering schedules.
Whether you sell your holiday home or redecorate next season, your fake outdoor trees and potted plants come right with you, without replanting, dirt or hassle.
Premium-quality faux plants stay looking fresh for years, which offers a cost-effective decor solution that you can enjoy over and over.
Faux plants can be UV resistant
Sun exposure is one of the biggest enemies of outdoor decor, but not when you choose UV-treated fake outdoor plants.
These specially designed faux plants resist fading, cracking, and warping even under Australia’s harsh sun, lasting over 5 years outdoors.
The reason why our fake outdoor plants are UV-resistant is thanks to our proprietary UV-Tex technology, which embeds UV protection during production and ensures the fauxliege stands the test of time. We also send our products for lab testing, and can produce reports that prove their resistance to harsh weather conditions.
Fake plants are safe for pets
Artificial plants are a safer alternative for your pets if they stay with you at the vacation home.
Faux plants are non-toxic and pesticide-free, since we implement our Safe-Tex technology to ensure our products are REACH, RoHS, and ISO-compliant and safe for you and your furry friends.
Unfortunately, many of the most common household can be extremely poisonous to dogs and cats.
A high-quality imitation plant won’t your animals even if they continue to smell or nibble on the leaves. Of course, you’ll still need to stay cautious of choking hazards, so it’s best not to encourage your pets to play with your decor.
Faux plants are evergreen
Since most of us visit our holiday homes at certain times of the year, we can’t rely on real plants if we don’t want to be greeted with a brown, droopy mess.
Faux plants don’t have that problem. They stay lush and lively no matter the weather or season. So, there’s no need to worry about planting calendars or winter prep, as the season does not affect your decor.
Your fake outdoor garden will look the same in July as it does in December. That’s at least one thing in life you can always count on.
4 Ways to Use Fake Outdoor Plants for Your Holiday Home
Now that you know why artificial outdoor plants are such a hit, let’s dive into 4 ways to decorate your holiday home with them.
Frame the entryway
Make a great first impression for your guests (and even your own family) with a pair of fake outdoor trees or topiary balls that frame your front door.
This touch of symmetry instantly boosts curb appeal and makes your holiday house feel welcoming from the moment you arrive.
Create a low-maintenance garden
Mix fake outdoor plants with real ones to design a garden that thrives in every season.
If you’re new to decorating with fake plants, you don’t have to jump in with both feet right away. Instead, get a few realistic faux plants you like and add them to a vista with real plants.
The faux plants will keep everything looking full and green, even if some live plants start to droop in the heat or cold. This way, you’ll still cut your upkeep in half.
Frame the pool
If you have a pool, use UV-resistant fake outdoor plants along the edges for a tropical vibe without the mess.
As we’ve already mentioned, these plants can handle full sun and the occasional splash, so they’re making them ideal for your outdoor oasis.
And if you ever splash a little too much water on your fauxliege, grab a microfibre cloth and dry the leaves so they’re not dripping.
Use hanging baskets
Last but not least, add some charm to your veranda or porch with fake plants in hanging baskets.
You can create your own baskets using materials you likely already have at home, or buy ready-made ones from your local crafts store (or online).
Hang them above seating areas or by the front door for a resort-style finish.
Finishing Thoughts
Wherever your holiday home is located, it’s bound to benefit from high-quality fake plants.
They’re safe for pets, weather-proof, and always in season. With the proper care, your realistic fake outdoor plants will serve you well for years.
