How Plants Can Benefit an Office
Incorporating plants into office environments is not just about enhancing the aesthetic appeal; it’s about fundamentally enriching the workplace atmosphere, improving air quality and boosting employee wellbeing. At Workplace Interior Shop, we’ve observed firsthand the transformative effects that biophilic design can have on a workspace. Here’s how introducing plants can be beneficial for your office:
- Improved Air Quality
Plants are natural air purifiers. They absorb toxins and carbon dioxide, releasing oxygen back into the air, which can significantly improve indoor air quality. This can lead to a healthier work environment, potentially reducing sickness and enhancing overall employee health. For guidance on which planters and plants are best suited to purify your office air, our team at Workplace Interior Shop is always ready to assist.
- Enhanced Employee Wellbeing
Studies have shown that the presence of plants in the workplace can reduce stress, lower anxiety levels and enhance employee wellbeing. This is because greenery and natural elements have a calming effect, helping to create a more pleasant and tranquil work environment. If you’re looking to foster a more mindful and serene office space, our diverse range of office planters offers the perfect solution.
- Increased Productivity
The visual appeal of plants can do more than just beautify the workspace; it can also increase productivity. Being surrounded by natural elements can improve concentration, creativity and work satisfaction among employees. To find the ideal planters that complement your office décor and stimulate productivity, don’t hesitate to contact us at Workplace Interior Shop.
- Enhanced Aesthetics and Office Morale
Finally, the addition of plants can transform the look and feel of an office, making it more inviting and comfortable. This not only impresses visitors but can also boost morale among employees, making them feel valued and cared for. Our stylish range of planters can help you achieve just the right aesthetic, whether you’re aiming for a minimalist design or a more vibrant, energised space.
Choosing the Best Planter for Your Plants
Selecting the right planter is pivotal to not only complementing your office décor but also ensuring the health and growth of your indoor plants. At Workplace Interior Shop, we understand that the right planter can make all the difference. Here are some insights to guide you in choosing the best planter for your office plants:
- Consider the Size
The size of the planter is crucial for the growth of your plants. A pot that’s too small can restrict root growth, while one that’s too large can lead to over-watering issues. Our experts at Workplace Interior Shop can advise you on the perfect size for your specific plants, ensuring they have ample space to grow without being overwhelmed.
- Drainage is Key
Proper drainage is essential for the health of your plants. Planters with drainage holes prevent water from sitting at the bottom and causing root rot. For office environments, where maintenance might be less frequent, choosing a planter with adequate drainage can save you from many common plant issues. Our range includes options with built-in drainage solutions to keep your plants healthy and thriving.
- Material Matters
The material of your planter not only affects its appearance but its functionality too. Porous materials like terracotta allow air and water to move through them, which can be beneficial for certain types of plants. Meanwhile, materials like plastic or metal retain more water, which might suit plants that thrive in moist conditions. Our collection at Workplace Interior Shop features planters made from a variety of materials, allowing you to pick the perfect match for your plant’s needs and your office aesthetics.

How do planters improve the office space?
Planters significantly enhance office spaces by introducing elements of nature into the workplace, promoting a healthier, more appealing and productive environment. By incorporating planters, offices can benefit from improved air quality as plants naturally filter pollutants and increase oxygen levels. This contributes to a healthier workspace, reducing the likelihood of illness and enhancing overall well-being. Planters also offer the flexibility to change the look and feel of an office without significant renovations. They can be used to create natural dividers, add pops of colour or bring a sense of calm to the workspace.

Which type of office planter should I use?
For smaller spaces or desktops, our compact planters like the Brussels Round Planter or the Alocasia Calidora Planter are ideal. They're perfect for housing smaller plants or succulents, adding a touch of greenery without taking up too much space. If you're looking to make a statement or fill a larger area, consider our larger planters such as the Rectangular Trough Planter or the Alure Pilaro Planter. These are suitable for bigger plants or creating green partitions within open-plan offices, enhancing privacy and the overall ambiance. For offices aiming for a modern, minimalist look, our sleek designs like the Argento Cube Planter offer clean lines and a contemporary finish. Alternatively, for a more industrial or rustic aesthetic, the Industrial finish of the Artstone Bowl Planter or the unique texture of the Cement With Feet Planter can add character and style to your workspace. Remember, the material and drainage capabilities of the planter are also important to ensure the health and growth of your plants. Our team at Workplace Interior Shop is on hand to provide expert advice tailored to your specific requirements, helping you select the perfect planters for your office environment.

Should I put rocks at the bottom of my planter?
Placing rocks at the bottom of your planter is a common practice intended to improve drainage, especially in planters without drainage holes. However, whether or not you should use rocks depends on the type of planter and the needs of your plants. For planters with built-in drainage, adding rocks is not necessary. These planters are designed to allow excess water to escape, preventing overwatering and root rot. Our range at Workplace Interior Shop includes many such planters, designed to ensure the health and longevity of your office plants. In cases where planters do not have drainage holes, adding a layer of rocks or gravel at the bottom can create a space for excess water to settle away from the plant’s roots. This method can help prevent water from pooling at the bottom of the soil, potentially safeguarding against root issues.
