Cafés aren’t all about the coffee.
While coffee is the foundational element, it shouldn’t be the only reason people flock to your business. In an ideal world, your decor, your service, and your atmosphere should complement the taste of your coffee.
Unfortunately, we can’t help you with everything. But, we can help you with your café decor.
We’ve waxed poetic about the benefits of artificial green walls for commercial spaces in many other blogs. But, we haven’t gone into detail on the type of fauxliege you should include in certain spaces… yet.
So, in this blog, we’ll discuss the advantages of artificial green walls for cafés, how owners can beautify the decor in the space, and which faux green wall panels work best according to your decor theme.
Let’s begin.
How Do Artificial Green Walls Benefit Cafés?
Decorating a café is akin to decorating a home. Every owner wants their guests to feel comfortable while enjoying a delicious cup of coffee.
But since you’ll (hopefully) have droves of different people in your café, you’ll need to have decor that suits many different tastes. Unfortunately, that’s not easy to do.
Still, if you go with an artificial green wall, you can get closer to your goal without much effort.
Faux green walls come with a slew of benefits to help you stand out in the competitive landscape. Aside from the aesthetic benefits, faux green walls are also:
-
Low maintenance: You likely won’t have much time for plant and decor upkeep, and neither will your employees. So, it’s important to decorate with items that don’t ask for hours of your time. Artificial green walls are great at this as they don’t need any maintenance bar an occasional wipe down.
-
Long-lasting: Designer Plants' artificial green walls come with warranties that guarantee the panels “thrive” for at least 5 years. We’ve tested our panels in various weather conditions to determine the best blend of materials that lead to the utmost durability and produce a product that stands the test of time.
-
Hypoallergenic: Artificial green walls don’t release pollen, so your customers won’t have sneezing fits every time they come near your vertical garden. This will allow you to create and maintain an allergy-free space and cater to even the most sensitive customers.
-
Non-toxic: Faux green walls from reputable manufacturers and suppliers have certificates in place to certify they don’t contain hazardous chemicals like lead and mercury. Our faux green walls are RoHS-compliant, meet strict safety guidelines, have undergone testing at ISO-certified labs, and are free from the Toxic Ten.
-
UV resistant: Our artificial green walls have undergone over 5000 hours of testing simulated UV exposure to ensure they can withstand direct sunlight. The panels have UV resistance built that certifies they won’t fade or deteriorate when outside for extended periods. This is especially useful for cafés with outdoor seating areas.
Top 4 Faux Green Walls for Cafés According to Theme
Our expansive collection of artificial green walls ensures you’ll have decor options for virtually any theme (or mix of themes).
Below, we’ll give you advice on the best faux green walls to use for a café that’s:
-
Minimalistic
-
Tropical
-
Rustic
-
Contemporary
While you can stray from this list and decorate with other artificial green walls, we’ve picked 4 that would work exceptionally well based on our experience.
Minimalistic
If your café decor emphasizes clean lines, simplicity, and purposeful decor, we recommend a striking yet understated artificial green wall to make an impact on the space. If each item in your café plays a significant part in the grand design, you need a vertical garden that isn’t just there for the aesthetics.
Our recommendation for a minimalistic café theme is the Faux Evergreen Moss Mat in lighter green tones that can introduce a bit of vibrancy. Imitation moss can mimic the texture and appearance of real moss - soft to the touch and able to add depth and warmth to a space.
The panel is simple and doesn’t introduce any clutter or unnecessary elements. Plus, you won’t have to worry about your moss fading, wilting, shedding, or yellowing.
A dense faux moss wall can also help your café with sound absorption by softening the loudness of chatter and clinking glasses.
Tropical
For café owners who want perpetual summer and the chance to relive cherished beach memories, there’s an artificial green wall here to help.
The Luxury Green Tropics Artificial Vertical Garden is the perfect addition to such a setting. It can create an immersive environment that takes inspiration from the tropical islands we all dream of in the middle of winter. The panel has a dense mix of grasses, ivy leaves, ferns, and extended branches, which gives an authentic representation of a tropical landscape.
As such, it can be a centerpiece or a subdued backdrop for your tropical café. Indoors, the panel doesn’t need any maintenance and will retain its vibrancy for years. It requires no watering, trimming, or pest control at any point.
We also recommend using this panel for outdoor seating areas. Thanks to its UV resistance, the Green Tropics can withstand harsh sunlight and varying weather without deteriorating. So, you can pair other tropical elements like bamboo furniture, floral accents, and colorful umbrellas to bring that paradise feeling closer to your guests.
Rustic
If your café’s primary goal is to provide a warm atmosphere that encourages people to connect, start your decor search with the Country Fern Artificial Vertical Garden.
There’s one thing that can describe this panel: rich. The faux green wall is lush and dense, and features lifelike foliage with natural color variations that complement the earthy tones of rustic decor. The panel’s leaves mirror the beauty of the countryside and highlight natural materials like wood, brick, and stone.
This vertical garden is a versatile design feature. It can be a centerpiece - a feature wall behind a counter or seating area. Or, it can be the foundation - a piece that covers the entire wall and envelops the atmosphere. Its UV-resistant design allows for easy use in outdoor seating areas and can continue the rustic theme into open-air spaces.
Since sustainability ties in well into country and rustic living, this green wall can add a subtle layer to your café’s story, as it’s also made from recycled plastics.
Contemporary
A contemporary café thrives on a sleek design that works wonders when paired with our Dark Artificial Boxwood Wall. The panel’s simple, dark green foliage and small leaves are just the elements to add greenery to a modern space without overwhelming it.
The hedge screen has a uniform texture, it’s dense, and works well with materials like concrete, metal, or wood. This Boxwood Green Wall can frame the café’s logo behind the counter, like how the Apricot Lane store did, or can make for a clean and inviting focal point by the door, similar to this salon’s idea.
If you want, you can also cover an entire seating area wall with the panel, as well. The foliage is subtle enough not to detract from the overall design, but impactful enough to capture attention.
Alternatively, you can use it outdoors. Put it up as a privacy screen and cordon off your outdoor seating area with a panel that makes it hard to peek through. You can leave it as minimalistic as you want or dress it up with artificial stems or fairy lights.
Finishing Thoughts
Minimalistic, tropical, rustic, or contemporary themes are all café design approaches that can benefit from an artificial green wall. Even if your café is somewhere in between, you can still find a panel to enhance your space.
Our collection is brimming with products that offer simplicity, vibrancy, opulence, density, and a scroll of other adjectives that help your guests remember you.
