Do office plants really improve productivity?

Yes—multiple peer-reviewed studies support this. Research from the University of Exeter found that office plants increased productivity by 15% and improved employee wellbeing scores significantly. Plants reduce cognitive fatigue, lower ambient noise levels, improve air quality, and signal to employees that their employer cares about their environment. For client-facing businesses, plants also elevate perceived professionalism and warmth.

What is biophilic design?

Biophilic design is the practice of incorporating natural elements—plants, water, natural light, organic materials, and living textures—into built environments to support human wellbeing. The term comes from biophilia, E.O. Wilson's concept that humans have an innate connection to nature. In office design, biophilia manifests through living walls, statement plant installations, natural wood and stone finishes, and thoughtfully placed greenery that makes a space feel alive and restorative.
