Adding plants in a shopping mall can create a more pleasant and welcoming atmosphere for visitors. To integrate plants into the furniture of a shopping mall, here are some ideas and suggestions:
1. Integrated Planters
Install planters or plant boxes directly into the furniture, such as benches, tables, or counters. This can add greenery without taking up too much space.

2. Green Wall
Create green walls along hallways or rest areas. Climbing plants or modular green panels can be used for this purpose.

3. Hanging Plants
Use suspension systems to hang plants above walkways or circulation areas. This creates an interesting visual effect.

4. Indoor Trees
In larger spaces, such as atriums or dining areas, consider including large indoor trees in the furniture. They can serve as landmarks and bring a natural ambiance.
5. Green Signage
Use signs or displays with green design elements to guide visitors to the green spaces of the shopping mall.

The Benefits of Greening
Greening your shopping malls can enhance the visitor experience and create a more pleasant environment. It can also help purify the air and reduce stress, which may encourage customers to spend more time in the shopping mall.
Finally, keep in mind that plant maintenance is essential. Choose species suited to the indoor environment and ensure a regular maintenance schedule is in place.
