Plants on Sideboards
The surface was already there. The effect was still missing.
Every office has them: a sideboard along the wall, a reception desk at the entrance, a kitchen counter no one bothers to look at twice. Planted with some thought, those flat, neglected stretches start to anchor the rooms they sit in. Small plants, considered placement, no extra square metre claimed from the floor plan.
Application of the greening element
An Aglaonema set behind a monitor. A Philodendron resting on the sideboard along the wall. A Sansevieria standing on the kitchen shelf where the coffee mugs live. None of it alters the floor plan. All of it changes how the room feels.
Plants placed at this height work in the places people pass through daily, or pause at briefly. They mark living transitions between work zones without ever getting in the way of the work itself. The smaller scale is no obstacle to function: even modest plants can contribute measurably to a healthy office air quality, transpiring moisture and absorbing pollutants the way larger installations do, simply on a quieter register.
We choose species that hold up to the specific light conditions found at sideboard height. Compact in habit.
Compact, upright species with moderate water needs. Aglaonema, Peperomia and smaller Sansevieria varieties hold up especially well. The final pick depends on the light conditions and the surface area available.
No.
Even a handful of well-placed plants shift how a room reads. We design the quantity and distribution so the effect feels coherent, both visually and biologically.
Yes, as long as the light conditions allow it. Shade-tolerant species like Aglaonema or Zamioculcas do well with indirect or even purely artificial light.
Not for you. As with everything we install, full maintenance is part of the service.
