Fitting out a hotel, office, restaurant or development means buying greenery at scale — and that calls for a different approach than picking up a plant for the living room. Buying artificial plants in bulk rewards planning: get the quantities, quality and consistency right and you create a polished scheme that lasts for years with no upkeep. This trade guide covers what to think about.
Plan quantities by zone, not guesswork
Walk the space and break it into zones — entrance, reception, breakout areas, corridors, washrooms. Assign a mix of statement trees and smaller accents to each. Ordering to a plan avoids both under-dressing large areas and over-buying, and it keeps the look intentional throughout.
Choose commercial-grade durability
Contract environments see heavy footfall, cleaning and handling. Prioritise robust, wired designs with secure foliage that will not shed, and specify UV-stabilised pieces such as our UV outdoor range anywhere near windows or outdoor areas. Cheap plants that fade or drop leaves cost more in replacements.
Mind fire regulations
Public and commercial buildings often require fire-rated greenery. Factor this in from the start and specify treated designs where regulations demand — it is far easier than retrofitting later. Our commercial artificial plants include options suited to these settings.
Keep the look consistent
A coherent scheme uses a repeating palette of plants and planters rather than a jumble of one-offs. Choosing a core selection of artificial trees and foliage, repeated across zones, reads as designed and professional. It also simplifies any future top-ups.
