The Client Challenge

While the space was by no means dull or uninspiring, the owners wanted to cover the gray mural with an element that could bring more color. Although the painting captured attention, it failed to stand out because the rest of the decor was predominantly gray and black.

To brighten the space and break the monotony of the existing color palette, the staff decided on an ambitious project: covering the entire wall in artificial greenery. They chose this option primarily for the low maintenance and durable nature of faux greenery.

Upon researching faux vertical gardens, the client discovered our artificial living wall collection and reached out for a quote.

The Design Objective

When the client contacted us, they had a clear idea in mind: to cover the entire back wall of the restaurant, mount a TV in the center, and ensure minimal effort on their part.

Having previously worked with another Accor Group hotel brand, the Mercure Hotel, we were thrilled to have the chance to collaborate on a project for this esteemed group again. Artificial green walls are a wise choice for commercial decor, as they provide a scroll of benefits without any of the necessary upkeep real plants require.

The hotel staff thought the back wall should be eye-catching without overshadowing the rest of the decor.

The Solution

After browsing our vertical garden collection, they selected the White Oasis Artificial Green Wall - a choice our team wholeheartedly agreed with.

Then, we got to work.

The White Oasis panel proved to be the ideal product for this hotel restaurant. Its small, delicate white flowers complement the sophisticated gold accents and white tones in the ceiling decor. Once we brought the panel inside, it became apparent that the space would be much more cohesive.

Installation Approach

Given the size of the wall, we needed a larger number of artificial green walls to cover the monochromatic mural.

Before we could install the panels, we mounted the TV screen. Then, we cut the panels around it to allow unobstructed advertising promotions to run throughout the day. Our team cut along the back of the panel grid, which is made of flexible plastic, and made sure there were no visible plastic edges.

While our client called for assistance with installation, mounting artificial green walls on any surface is a project any DIY enthusiast can easily tackle. It simply requires accurate measurements, which you can do with the calculator available on each panel product page.

Finally, we securely installed the panels using staple guns and staples.

The Result

The combination of vibrant greenery, soft floral accents, gold fixtures, and bright natural light streaming in through the windows creates a photogenic ambiance you rarely see. This transformation also aligns with the Accor Group’s core values - innovation, guest passion, and sustainability.
