Elevate Your Hotel Design with Artificial Greenery: How Faux Plants Create 5-Star Feel (Part A)

by Paul McGurran

Hotel guests aren’t just booking rooms anymore, they’re booking for aesthetics. In the age of Instagram and TikTok, your hotel’s visual appeal has become just as important as its amenities. If your space doesn’t feel effortlessly stylish and photo-ready, it’s getting overlooked. This article is your shortcut to five-star design without the five-star budget. We’ll walk you through how artificial greenery can instantly upgrade your interiors, creating a luxe, welcoming atmosphere that guests actually want to post about. 

 

1. Why Artificial Plants Beat Real Ones in Hospitality

Tired of dead leaves in corners and unpredictable watering schedules? Low maintenance fake plants give you all the green appeal of live foliage with zero upkeep. They never wilt, don’t need watering, and keep spaces looking fresh, even in windowless suites or dim corridors. Designers and property managers will breathe easier when they realize they can keep a lush aesthetic all year without doing any maintenance. 

 

2. The Power of Faux Greenery Trends

Studies show that guests rate hotel aesthetics 23% higher when greenery is present. Hotels using large artificial plants for lobby visuals saw a 15% increase in guest photos and social media shares. Plus, maintenance costs for real plants add up: some properties spend over €2,000 annually on plant care alone—costs you skip entirely with faux alternatives.

 

3. Common Questions & Concerns 

Is artificial greenery obviously fake? Good news is this is not the case. Today's realistic faux plants indoor options use UV-resistant materials and realistic textures that mimic the real deal, even up close. Concerned about fire safety? Choose fire‑retardant faux plants tested to code.

Worried about upfront cost? Sure, faux options cost more upfront, but with no watering, pruning, or replacement, hotels often recoup their investment within a year.
