A vertical garden? The real green soul of a house

Innovative solutions for natural environments and textural finishes

Would you like to have a garden, but there are no external spaces available? Interior vertical gardens are one of the interior design solutions of the moment, combining a decorative view of greenery with new materials and technologies, to revitalize large walls studded with vegetation of every kind: evergreens, perennials, small flowering plants, there are so many possibilities that nature can offer.
There are numerous ways to go about it; occupying an entire wall or only a number of corners of the house, using hung vases or various-shaped panels, designed to obtain a wainscoting effect unique of its kind.

AUTHENTIC FURNISHING ACCESSORIES

Vertical gardens are genuine furnishing elements, able to lend a touch of greenery and vivacity to environments. Petunias, ferns and ivies are the most suitable plants for creating a green wall, since they have very varied foliage and create a beautiful effect together. With a bit of imagination and a good eye for interior design, it’s possible to create quite striking natural corners, also useful for the kitchen, with a vertical vegetable garden in the house. These green areas, introduced into our homes, are not only advantageous from an aesthetic point of view, but are also beneficial to the health of the inhabitants. Many studies have shown that the presence of vegetation is a blessing for the house and for the air we breathe every day; in addition, as occurs for green roofs, the presence of a green layer on the wall of a home creates improved thermal and acoustic insulation. An interior vertical garden, therefore, really does seem to be an ideal solution especially for city-dwellers who want to introduce a touch of greenery. The search for a more natural environment is certainly today one of the most fashionable trends in interior design.

CONTINUITY THROUGHOUT THE HOME

Various architects initially used natural elements in exteriors, walls, balconies and terraces: now the architectural barriers that separate indoor from outdoor are becoming more fluid and these elements are entering the home and staying there. Soft tones, delicate lines and fascinating light and shade effects create pleasant atmospheres in all parts of the house. A textural style is also clearly present in the floorings with a natural and sober taste; Ceramiche Coem presents a catalogue in line with this mood, proposing solutions in marble, stone and wood-effect porcelain stoneware, ideal both for interiors and exteriors, and thanks also to large-size formats, it’s possible to have continuity between all the environments in the house.
