The Beauty and Practicality of Artificial Trees: Stylish Solutions for Any Space
Creating a stunning focal point for an interior or exterior space doesn’t get much better than adding a tree. But keeping real trees alive and thriving in challenging conditions—especially indoors or in busy commercial environments—can be a real struggle. That’s where artificial trees come in: a practical, stylish solution offering all the beauty of natural greenery without the hassle or limitations of real plants.
In this post, we’ll explore the advantages of artificial trees, their many uses, and how they can transform spaces with their lifelike appearance and low maintenance. We’ll also take a closer look at a faux olive tree we supplied to a restaurant in Telford, showcasing the craftsmanship and design that make these trees so special.
Why Choose Artificial Trees?
Artificial trees are perfect for situations where real trees simply wouldn’t survive. Whether it’s a lack of natural light, unsuitable temperatures, or the impracticalities of regular maintenance, artificial trees provide a stunning alternative. Here are just a few reasons why they’re an excellent choice:
1. Minimal Maintenance
Forget watering, pruning, or pest control—artificial trees require none of the time or effort real trees demand. This makes them perfect for busy environments like restaurants, offices, and shopping centres, where ongoing care simply isn’t feasible.
2. Built to Last
Modern artificial trees are made with high-quality, durable materials that resist fading and damage over time. Many are even treated with fire-retardant coatings, making them a safe option for public and commercial spaces.
3. Completely Customisable
Whether you need a towering large artificial tree to fill an atrium or a smaller piece to add a touch of greenery to a corner, artificial trees can be tailored to suit any space or design scheme.
4. Eco-Friendly
Sustainably crafted artificial trees, like our faux olive tree, often incorporate real tree trunks from naturally perished trees. This gives new life to otherwise discarded materials, creating a product that looks and feels authentic while being environmentally conscious, and with a lifespan of decades these artificial trees are a sustainable way to decorate, featuring fully recyclable materials.
Showcase: A Faux Olive Tree at Willow Restaurant, Telford
One of our standout projects is the stunning faux olive tree we supplied to Willow, a restaurant in Telford. Designed and fitted out by imddesigns.co.uk, this remarkable installation serves as a focal point of the restaurant’s welcoming and stylish atmosphere.
Here’s what makes this large artificial tree unique:
• A Real Olive Trunk: The trunk was sourced from a mature olive tree that had died naturally. After drying, treating, and lacquering, the trunk was repurposed to form the foundation of the artificial tree.
• Fire-Retardant Foliage: The olive foliage, crafted from high-quality fire-retardant materials, is attached to both existing and new branches to create a realistic canopy.
• Custom Dimensions: Standing at 3 metres tall with a canopy 2.7 metres wide, the tree was designed specifically to complement the restaurant’s layout and ambiance.
This project demonstrates how artificial trees can combine craftsmanship and practicality to create a beautiful and functional centrepiece.
Where Can Artificial Trees Be Used?
The versatility of artificial trees makes them an excellent choice for a wide range of settings:
Commercial Spaces
• Restaurants and Cafés: Create a serene, natural-inspired atmosphere that encourages relaxation and enhances the dining experience.
• Offices: Bring greenery into workspaces, improving aesthetics and employee wellbeing, even in areas with no natural light.
• Retail Centres and Hotels: Use artificial trees as striking centrepieces or decorative features in high-ceilinged spaces like atriums and lobbies.
Homes and Gardens
• Living Spaces: Add a touch of elegance to your home with a faux olive tree or other artificial greenery.
• Gardens and Patios: Use artificial trees in shaded or weather-exposed areas where real plants would struggle to thrive.
• Seasonal and Year-Round Décor: Artificial trees look flawless no matter the season, giving you consistent beauty all year round.
Complement Your Tree with Artificial Plants and Flowers
Pair your artificial tree with smaller pieces like artificial plants and artificial flowers to create a cohesive, inviting design. From decorative table-top arrangements to larger installations, these additions can add depth and texture to your space.
Whether you’re looking for a large artificial tree to act as a centrepiece or a mix of artificial greenery to brighten up an area, the possibilities are endless.
