“These plain walls have so much potential.” Doesn't this thought come to mind when sipping coffee, glancing around your living room or backyard? Maybe a vibrant wall painting, a stylish gallery of frames, or a sleek mirror could work.
But again, they are too generic choices. So, what to do with these plain walls, you might think. Just adding Fake Green Walls into your home can make your space perfectly stand out. The realistic designs give your walls that ‘oh-so stunning’ look that refreshes you whenever you look at them.
So, how do you achieve that effortlessly?
In this blog, we are showing you creative ways to transform blank walls into lush, eye-catching green spaces that take your indoor and outdoor spaces to the next level.
Wait. Why Not Real Green Walls?
This question might hit your mind when you see real vertical gardens online or in magazines. And they are indeed beautiful, but there are a few things people often forget. They need constant maintenance, as we all know. Watering, fertilising, pruning, dealing with pests, and sometimes even replacing plants is part of the routine.
On top of that, watering vertical walls can be comparatively hard than regular garden beds or pots. It’s pretty difficult to make sure the whole wall gets enough moisture, which often means installing special irrigation systems. They also come with a higher upfront cost for these systems and the structural support.
Artificial green walls work wonders here! By installing them, you can enjoy the fresh, green view for years.
Know Your Space Before You Begin
Before you start your vertical garden, it’s important to think about your home and the space you have. Different parts of Australia have different climates, and that affects what kind of green wall will work best.
Climate Considerations
Tropical/Subtropical (QLD, Northern NSW): These areas are hot and humid, so you will need plants that can handle the heat and moisture.
Mediterranean (SA, WA): Due to hot and dry climate in these areas, you need UV resistant materials to make sure your plants don’t fade or get damaged.
Temperate (VIC, TAS): It has cooler areas, where sunlight can be limited. So, shaded balconies or indoor walls make ideal spots for a vertical garden.
Space Types & Limitations
Apartments & condos: Small balconies, narrow walls, and low ceilings mean you will need slim, vertical designs.
Suburban Houses: Bigger gardens and fences give you more freedom to create full-sized walls or outdoor entertainment areas.
Inner-city Townhouses: Space is tight, so rooftop terraces or small courtyards are the way to go.
Sunlight & Exposure Assessment
Even though artificial plants don’t need sunlight, it’s still smart to pick UV-resistant materials for outdoor walls. This way, your garden will stay bright and fresh-looking for years, no matter how sunny it gets.
Spaces Inside Your Home That Can Go Green
Now, your walls will stop being boring. These green walls will be so eye-catching that any guest who walks in will be totally blown away! Here are the spots where installing fake green walls can make your space look wow.
Living Room Walls
Your living room is the heart of the house, and a Luxury Green Tropics Vertical Garden wall here can completely change the vibe. The best spot is usually behind your TV unit, sofa or as a feature wall opposite your main seating area. It instantly draws attention and makes the room feel fresh and stylish.
Dining Area Walls
The right backdrop in a dining area can make every meal feel like dining in a 5-star restaurant. A Luxury Vista Green Recycled Vertical Green Wall can be placed in the front of a dining table to make the area look incredibly elegant.
Home Offices
Home offices need something that sparks energy and keeps the space from feeling dull. A Luxury White Oasis Vertical wall near your desk can do just that. You can place it directly behind your desk (it also makes a great Zoom background) or on a side wall that’s always in your view to keep the space lively.
Want your home office to look more professional and inspiring? Just add a few Small Potted Artificial Flowering Boxwood Plants on your desk or shelves. This creates a workspace that always keeps you going.
Bathrooms
Bathrooms are the spaces that help you relax after a long tiring day. And what if you could make that relaxation feel even more luxurious? By placing Luxury Green Tropics Vertical wall near the bathtub or behind the mirror can instantly give you a spa-like vibe.
Kitchen
Kitchens are busy areas where you don’t want clutter. That’s why smaller green panels work best here. You can place Luxury Green Wall on empty backsplash walls, above the cabinets, or even as a slim strip between shelves.
And when you cook here, it creates a heavenly experience. It almost feels like fresh flowers are growing around you, even though they are artificial, thanks to the lush green look.
Best Outdoor Spots to Add a Green Wall
A plant wall can totally change the vibe of your outdoor space, only if they are placed in the right spot. It should beautifully blend with the surroundings while adding elegance to the plain wall. Here are some outdoor corners that truly stand out with a green wall:
Backyard
The backyard is often the most flexible outdoor space. A Vista Green wall here can define one side of the area, making it look greener and more balanced. It gives you a nice view whenever you step outside and makes the backyard feel like an extension of your garden.
Side Walls
These walls are usually ignored and don’t add much to the house. Just adding Dense Green Meadows Vertical wall here makes the area look cared for and beautiful that otherwise goes unnoticed.
Patio or Sit-Out Area
If you have a sofa or chairs in your patio, the wall right in front of the seating is the best place for a White Oasis Vertical wall. It gives you a refreshing view while you sit and makes your time with friends or even alone feel relaxing and enjoyable.
Green Wall with Art
Another interesting way to use a Country Fern green wall is by combining it with wall art. Instead of covering the entire wall, you can install the wall on the sides in any shape and leave the centre for a mural or painting. This makes the whole wall stand out even more.
Pool Side Walls
Having a pool in your backyard is already a great feature, but adding a Jasmine Hedge Screen Green wall in front of the pool makes it look even better. The wall covered with greenery brings a fresh touch to the area and creates a nice backdrop.
You can pair your poolside green wall with flowy plants like Leopard Lily or Artificial Long Grass for a natural finish.
