How to make sure plants don't become wallflowers
(+5 reasons to give plants a prominent place in an interior).

Actually, plants are the easiest way to bring atmosphere to an interior. Every bare spot transforms by adding a plant! Yet, many plants often 'stick' to the edge of an interior (on the windowsill, in a corner of a room, etc.). We think that's a shame, so we came up with a solution for that.

5 good reasons

There are of course many good reasons to give plants a (prominent) place in the interior. Below you will find our top 5:

1. Plants reduce stress
When you are in a room where there are many plants, you feel closer to nature. This lowers your cortisol levels. Research also shows that employees are less stressed when they work in an office where there are plants.

People are no less than 15-20% more productive when green plays a dominant role in the interior.

2. Plants increase productivity
In addition to the fact that plants increase your productivity, your memory, focus and creativity also get a boost. You are no less than 15-20% more productive when green plays a dominant role in your interior.

3. Air-purifying plants
Houseplants release extra oxygen. Some plants also purify harmful substances from the air and improve air humidity. There are a number of plants for which it has even been scientifically proven that they contribute to cleaner, purified air.

4. Plants have a sound-dampening effect
Plants, like curtains, have a dampening effect. Both stems and leaves of plants can absorb sound. Adding plants to an interior is therefore a good way to ensure that hard sounds and echoes become a lot softer.

5. Plants combine function and aesthetics
Besides the fact that they are indispensable due to their air-purifying, stress-reducing and sound-dampening properties, plants also add an important decorative element to the interior. Just like art and home Accessories, you can use them to give your interior a certain style.

Plants add an important decorative element to the interior.

A prominent spot

As far as we are concerned, therefore, plants deserve a prominent place in the interior. But what is a plant without a beautiful flower pot?

The Plant Collectors literally put your plant collection on a pedestal. During the design process, we were looking for a way to make flower pots (and thus plants) really part of an interior. The stackable tubes can be filled with plant soil or placed upside down to create height for a second flowerpot. A plant stand and flowerpot in one!

The Plant Collectors are made of aluminum and coated with a special textured powder coating. A specially designed oak disc allows two tubes to be attached to each other to create height. This attachment also ensures a waterproof pot.

For a single flower pot, the disc acts as a decorative stand ring. Without the wooden disc, the hole at the bottom of the flower pots remains open so that excess water can drain away. This also makes the Plant Collectors suitable for outdoor use.

The shape of the Plant Collectors is sleek and modern, but the special powder coating gives the pots a certain texture and color nuance that hints at the traditional terracotta flower pot.

The power of a 'Plant Gang'

The Plant Collectors are beautiful on their own, but their impact is enhanced by placing them in groups. Not only do the heights of the plants themselves give a playful effect, but also the heights at which you place the plants help. Therefore, combine different sizes and CREATE your own composition.

Hopefully, after reading this blog, you'll dare to give your plants a more prominent place in your interior. For example, try placing a plant collection/family in the middle of a room. We are curious about the result!
