Nothing compares to the vitality of real plants.

Live planting brings natural energy, movement and colour into an environment, transforming how it looks, feels and functions. From a single statement planter to a complete interior planting scheme, living plants create a stronger connection with nature and help make everyday spaces more welcoming, comfortable and enjoyable to spend time in. At Exubia, we design, install and maintain live planting schemes for workplaces, hospitality settings, education environments, shared spaces and commercial interiors across London and the UK. Every scheme is shaped around the character of the space, the people using it and the practical conditions that allow plants to thrive.

Benefits of live planting

A fresher-feeling environment
Live plants bring a visible sense of life to an interior. Their foliage, texture and natural variation can soften hard surfaces, break up open-plan areas and create spaces that feel calmer and more balanced. Plants also interact with their surroundings, contributing to a more comfortable indoor environment through natural processes including transpiration. While planting should sit alongside, rather than replace, good ventilation and building services, it can play a valuable role in creating spaces that feel fresher and more pleasant to use.
Better focus and everyday wellbeing
The principles of biophilic design are well established. When people have a stronger connection with nature, it can support concentration, creativity and a greater sense of wellbeing throughout the day. For busy workplaces, hospitality venues and learning environments, planting can provide a welcome visual pause. It introduces colour, softness and a feeling of calm into spaces that might otherwise feel overly functional or demanding.
Softer acoustics and improved comfort
In open-plan interiors, hard surfaces can make a space feel noisy and exposed. The leaves, planting containers and growing medium within a live planting scheme can help to soften sound and reduce the perception of echo. Used thoughtfully, planting can also help define different areas within a larger environment. It can create a sense of separation around meeting spaces, breakout areas, reception zones and collaborative workspaces, without closing them off.
A space people want to spend time in
The value of live planting is often felt before it is consciously noticed. It can make an arrival feel more welcoming, a workplace feel more cared for and a shared space feel easier to use. For organisations looking to support staff experience, client impressions and the overall quality of their environment, live planting is a practical investment in how a space performs every day.
Designed around your environment
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to live planting. The right scheme depends on the available light, temperature, airflow, access, usage patterns and the visual character of the space. Our design team considers all of this from the outset. We look at how people move through an environment, where planting will have the greatest impact and which species are best suited to the conditions. We can work from plans, visit site or collaborate with architects, designers, facilities teams and fit-out partners from the earliest stages of a project. Whether the brief is bold and immersive or understated and refined, the aim is the same: planting that feels natural to the space and continues to look its best over time.
The plants and materials we use
Our schemes use a carefully selected range of indoor plants, chosen for their appearance, resilience and suitability for the environment. This may include larger architectural specimens, lush floor planting, desktop arrangements, trailing plants, feature trees and planting incorporated into furniture or room dividers. Planters are equally important. We offer a wide choice of styles, finishes and sizes, including contemporary, natural, recycled and bespoke options. These can be selected to complement an existing interior scheme or become a feature in their own right. Where appropriate, we can also integrate planting with other elements, including green walls, preserved planting and exterior landscaping, creating a more joined-up biophilic approach across an entire site.
