5 Plant Trends for 2023
Happy New Year and welcome to 2023 from Plantclub! This past year has been full of office redesigns, home office build outs, and slow but steady returns to the office. And now as we enter 2023, it’s time to look at the new ways we can reinvent any type of workspace. From planters to trending plants, we have our roundup of design trend recommendations ready to reinvigorate your indoor jungle.
The office in 2023 is going to look different from its pre-COVID standards. Interior designers and office managers have been taking strides toward a more open, social, and communicative workplace. With hybrid work becoming the norm and office managers looking for more ways to make spaces more human-oriented, paying attention to trends in office design is more important than ever.
1. Integrated planters
First let’s talk about natural elements and functionality. Gone are the days of cubicles and walls. Trends are showing more and more offices transforming into collaborative experiences. Plants and integrated planters have been a part of this transition as they can act as natural room dividers that separate without cutting off.
As we learned in our chat with Studio Vale designer João do Vale Gonçalves, social architecture is key to a thriving firm life. So this year, look to incorporate these types of natural barriers whether they stand between desks, in the center of open floor plans, or double as benches.
If you’re looking to create barriers within an office space, look no further than integrated planters.
2. Philodendron Pedatum
We’ve been looking at the up and coming alternatives of standing statement plants that aren’t just ficus elastica and fiddle leaf figs. If you’re looking for some vertical leafy goodness that just goes so well in a shady corner we recommend a philodendron pedatum. Perfect for low light settings, the philodendron pedatum is a great addition to any type of workspace.
Looking for a climbing plant but tired of monstera? Go for a Philodendron pedatum instead!
3. Colorful pots
Looking for office decor ideas to spice up your workplace or home office space? Adding some color is an easy and affordable interior design trick to elevate something practical. It’s easy to just leave your plants in the same pot they came in, but a new year means new beginnings. Ditch the dark green planters and try a colorful recycled Elho pot instead for the instant pop of color you’re looking for.
Playing with several colors at once is a bold way to give a space some extra personality.
4. Dracaena ‘warneckii’
Another alternative to the ficus, dracaena ‘warneckii’ is a great choice for bringing in a tropical element to the workplace. With its light green hues and palmy look, this dracaena will have you reminiscing about warm summer breezes and calm radiant thoughts.
Dracena come in a bunch of varieties, making it a versatile and reliable plant-choice. Check out the dracaena marginata in the Plant Store.
5. Wall planters
Natural wall features have become increasingly popular in office design as they can free up more floor space while also incorporating more vertical design elements. Wall art can be a tricky part of design as trends come and go but the inclination toward living walls has shown a steady rise over the years. You can find WallyGrow wall planters available through Plantclub which come in assortments of types, sizes, and colors to fit any type of space. Each planter is made out of recycled plastic and some even have options for inner drainage to prevent overwatering.
Wall planters aren’t going anywhere this year. We love how WallyGrow planters let you stagger your design.
