Using artificial flowers in the workplace offers great benefits that will leave lasting impressions on all who spend time in the space, including colleagues and clients. From extremely low maintenance (almost non-existent) to ensuring year-round beauty in receptions and offices across New Zealand, it makes perfect sense to choose artificial flowers for workplaces instead of fresh flowers.
We’re unpacking five real benefits of using artificial flowers at work, and how to ‘arrange’ artificial workplace flowers in New Zealand today.

- Low maintenance
If your workplace is a busy hive of bustle and activity, (especially common in hospitals and other medical workplaces), then faux flowers are the perfect solution to keeping your space looking stunning, elegant and inviting. We know how it is, work gets so busy and sometimes you might struggle to find the time to remove and replace fresh flowers as they wilt and die – often within a week. Don’t forget, you’ll also need to clean out the vase and replace the slimy green fluid with fresh water regularly. The good news is that when opting for artificial flowers instead, you’re getting a completely maintenance-free solution. No more fussing and time wasting over fresh blooms, silk flower rental is here to save the day!
- Long-lasting
Fresh flowers have one fundamental flaw: once the stalks have been severed from the roots they begin to die. While those little packets of ‘flower food’ might help to prolong the blooms’ longevity, like with most organic matter, decay is inevitable. It really is only a matter of time before your fresh blooms start to turn colour, die and emit an awful odour. In contrast, artificial flowers are not picked from the ground and thus will not slowly fade into brown oblivion over time. They will last much, much longer than organic flowers – saving your office money in the long run while saving the lives of countless innocent blooms. Silk flowers will continue to look fresh and colourful throughout the year – no matter the season!
- Allergen-free
Allergies in the workplace are a serious problem. Not only for the people who suffer from them, but also for their colleagues who have to endure the constant sneezing and spluttering, and also for the business’s productivity levels. Some employees suffer so badly from allergies that spending time in a room with a fresh bouquet of flowers can send them into an allergy fit and possibly lead to them going home for the day. Artificial flowers contain zero pollen. No pollen means no botanically-induced allergic reactions, which is great for everyone involved.
- Variety
The floral kingdom offers up almost countless variants of stunning flowers and foliage for us to admire. Likewise, artificial flower manufacturers have sought to emulate this immense variety as much as possible, with some of them offering all of your favourite blooms and more in a long-lasting, low maintenance artificial flower form. Where some flowers are seasonal, (and thus only available at certain times of the year), this is not a concern when it comes to artificial flowers. When choosing silk flowers and plants, you’re getting access to the widest variety without seasonality being a factor. You can choose your favourite flower varieties no matter what time of year it is.
- Eco-friendly
Let’s face it: when we buy bunches of fresh flowers, we aren’t thinking about the manner in which they were removed from the soil, where they were grown, or how they were treated during their lifetimes. The environmental cost of flowers is higher than most people realise, especially when learning how flowers are transported internationally. Artificial flowers for workplaces are eco-friendly, and don’t incur nearly as much airmiles as their counterparts. Plus they can be reused over and over again for years and years. We believe that fresh flowers should remain where they belong – in the earth and that artificial flowers or silk florals are the sensible choice for our planet.
