Top Tips for Designing a Stunning Faux Plant Wall

Living plants are stunning outdoors but bringing them inside can be challenging. They often require constant care and may not thrive as well. Fortunately, artificial plants offer a perfect alternative, providing the lush greenery you desire without the maintenance. Here’s how you can create your own DIY artificial plant wall to showcase your favorite faux plants.

Why Choose Artificial Plants?

Artificial plants require zero maintenance. They mimic the look of living plants without needing water, sunlight, or soil. This makes them an ideal home décor choice, especially for those with busy lifestyles or a lack of a green thumb.

Steps to Create an Artificial Plant Wall

1. Gather Your Materials

• Plant squares: These are the foundation of your plant wall. Think of them as tiles for your greenery.
• Large canvas (optional): If you prefer a single, cohesive piece, a large canvas can serve as your base.
• Favorite artificial plants: Mix premium faux plants with more affordable options to stay within budget.
• Cable ties: Essential for attaching plants securely to your base.
• Large command strips: These will help you mount your plant squares or canvas on the wall without damaging the paint.

2. Prepare the Plant Squares

Creating a plant wall is similar to laying a backsplash or tiling a floor. Using plant squares is a practical approach. Choose a sturdy material for your squares, such as cardboard or plastic.

3. Choose Your Plants

Select a variety of artificial plants. Mixing high-quality faux plants with cheaper ones can create a lush, diverse look. Cut and arrange the plants on the squares to achieve your desired aesthetic.

4. Attach the Plants

Lay your plant squares flat on the ground. Use cable ties to secure the plants to the squares. You can follow a specific design or arrange them randomly for a more natural look.

5. Mount the Squares

Once your squares are complete, use large command strips to mount them on the wall. Command strips are strong enough to hold lightweight artificial plants and won’t damage your walls.

Alternative Arrangements

If a full wall of plants isn’t your style, consider these alternatives:

• Vertical plant strands: Hang plant squares from the ceiling using strings for a cascading effect.
• Spaced squares: Arrange plant squares separately on the wall for a modern, minimalist look.
• Ceiling décor: Create an artificial plant ceiling for a unique design element.
• Accent pieces: Use plant squares to frame mirrors or windows, adding a touch of greenery to specific areas.
