Landscape Design and Landscaping by Martin Palma

In urban life, the desire to add greenery to the interior is becoming more and more common. Apartments with limited space can become a true green oasis if approached correctly. At Ecolandscape Studio, we believe that an apartment landscape is not only a decorative solution but also a way to create coziness and improve the microclimate within the space.

 

Why Create a Landscape in Your Apartment?

Green plants in the interior are not just a trend. They help create a harmonious atmosphere, improve air quality, and positively impact emotional well-being. The presence of plants in the apartment makes the space feel more alive and warm, creating the feeling that you are surrounded by nature.

At Ecolandscape Studio, we see how a properly selected landscape can be not only an element of decor but also serve practical purposes. Greenery in the apartment can purify the air, humidify it, and even improve your mood.

Choosing the Right Plants for Your Interior

Not all plants are suitable for apartment living. It’s important to consider factors such as lighting, humidity, and space. For rooms with limited light, choose low-maintenance plants like Sansevieria, Chlorophytum, Spathiphyllum, or Ficus. These plants adapt well to conditions where light may not be abundant and can thrive without direct sunlight. At Ecolandscape Studio, we recommend selecting plants that are not only beautiful but also beneficial to health. For example, Aloe, Sansevieria, and Ficus effectively cleanse the air from harmful substances such as formaldehyde and benzene, which is especially important for apartments with central heating, where the air can be dry.

Using Vertical Gardens and Hanging Structures

When space is limited, vertical gardening becomes an excellent solution. Plants can be placed on walls, shelves, or suspended structures, allowing you to save space and add greenery even to the smallest rooms. At Ecolandscape Studio, we often use vertical landscaping as a way to create a harmonious and functional landscape even in limited spaces. This not only saves space but also adds an interesting visual accent to the interior.

Lighting and Care

For successful plant growth in the apartment, it’s important to pay attention to lighting. Plants have different light requirements: some thrive in shaded corners, while others need direct sunlight. We recommend paying attention to lighting and placing plants in spots where they will receive adequate light. If your apartment lacks natural light, you can always use grow lights, which will provide the necessary spectrum for plants. This is especially important during the winter months when the days are shorter, and plants need extra light.

Plants That Will Suit Your Interior

  • Sansevieria (Snake Plant)
    This is one of the easiest plants to care for, and it can be placed in almost any corner of the apartment. Sansevieria purifies the air and tolerates low light conditions well.
  • Chlorophytum
    A low-maintenance plant that thrives in low-light conditions. Chlorophytum also actively purifies the air by absorbing toxins and harmful substances.
  • Aloe Vera
    Not only a decorative plant but also a medicinal one. Aloe helps purify the air and has several useful properties, such as the ability to reduce inflammation and heal wounds.
  • Fern
    Ferns love humidity and shade, making them ideal for bathrooms or corners with little light. They help humidify the air and create a cozy atmosphere.

Interior and Greenery: How to Create Harmony

When creating a landscape in your apartment, it’s essential to consider not only the plants but also the decor. At Ecolandscape Studio, we always emphasize that plants should complement the rest of the interior. For example, to create a natural accent, you can use wooden pots, stone planters, or glass containers.

Particular attention should be paid to textures and colors. Green plants will look great with soft fabrics like cotton, linen, or wool. If you have a minimalist interior, it’s best to choose plants with simple and clean lines, such as cacti or succulents. In more cozy and eclectic interiors, you can experiment with different types of plants and containers.
