Most people are suffering when they have a full shift day of work. Because working under pressure may cause important psychological troubles, such, exhaustion, anxiety, depression, and even burn out. Getting these troubles is really problematic because it decreases worker productivity. For this reason, it’s important to think about solutions that may help workers to feel better, besides psychological and financial motivation.

A lot of companies nowadays are using plants as an element of decoration to affect employers positively and help them to increase their productivity. Some are even creating green spaces next to their buildings so the worker can be in contact with nature.

Putting plants in the work office allows offering a good atmosphere and enhances its aesthetic dimension. It helps workers to feel less stressed and even reduce the noise which is one of the important roles of plants. Besides that, it helps to purify the air. Also, plants neutralize the waves of computer screens, which is a considerable advantage for workers that use computers a lot. 

It’s even recommended to use the green color to paint a workspace since it’s very relaxing and refreshing and reminds us about nature. This is why it’s very used in work offices. It promotes concentration and learning and offers a calm atmosphere.

The common case is that we don’t have all our own space of work at home; this is why it’s a good idea to decorate the home office with plants or green decoration. Here some ideas that may help you to make your own office a green workplace. 

Chose the appropriate wall to paint: The dark green color should be chosen for a wall in front of the window and vice versa, if the room is dark and the window doesn’t enter enough light, it’s recommended to use light green color in that case to bring more brightness.

Green wall: Your wall shouldn’t be painted with green color only but it can be a plant space. If it’s hard to find technics to make a real green wall, it’s okay to use an artificial one. The idea is to be in contact visually with green.

Chose the appropriate plant: in a work office we prefer non-polluting plants such as Cacti, Aloe vera, Sansevieria, Hawortia  or Ficus. These plants don’t need a lot of water or light, so it’s easy to take care of and don’t require regular maintenance.

Paint a small part of the wall: it’s not necessary to paint the whole wall with green color, in fact, interior designers use particular technics to make a simple and beautiful design. The idea is shown in the picture below.
