Wellness Meets Functionality, Naturally
In today’s built environments, whether residential, commercial, or somewhere in between, interior design isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s about how a space makes people feel. As our connection to nature continues to shape how we design interiors, wall gardens have emerged as a powerful solution that goes beyond beauty.
At Naturalist, we’ve seen firsthand how preserved moss walls and artificial green panels transform not just how a space looks, but how it functions. From mood to sound, these biophilic elements deliver an experience that’s both sensory and restorative.

Supporting Well-Being Through Biophilic Design
Biophilic design centers on one simple idea: humans thrive when they feel connected to nature. In spaces where direct access to greenery isn’t possible, wall gardens serve as a bridge to the natural world.
Preserved moss, in particular, offers a soft, organic texture and an earthy color palette that promotes a calming atmosphere. These visual and tactile cues mimic the feel of a forest or garden, helping reduce stress and improve focus, especially in high-pressure environments like offices, healthcare spaces, or retail stores.
Meanwhile, artificial green panels provide similar visual benefits with even greater design flexibility. Though not made from real plants, their rich textures and lifelike foliage stimulate a sense of comfort and natural familiarity. And because they’re zero-maintenance, they allow wellness-driven design in spaces where live or preserved materials may not be feasible.

Natural Sound Absorption with a Visual Payoff
Wall gardens don’t just look peaceful, they help create peaceful environments, too.
Preserved moss has natural sound-absorbing qualities. Its spongy structure helps dampen ambient noise, making it ideal for open-concept offices, hotel lobbies, or any space where noise levels can impact concentration or comfort. Unlike traditional acoustic panels, moss walls are dual-purpose: they provide both acoustic performance and elevated design.
Artificial green wall panels, while not as acoustically absorbent as preserved moss, still contribute to sound diffusion, especially when layered or paired with soft surfaces. Many of Naturalist’s artificial green walls use dense, multi-layered foliage that helps break up echo and reduce the harshness of sound in large or minimal spaces.

A Harmonious Blend of Form and Function
Designing for wellness doesn’t mean sacrificing functionality, and wall gardens are a perfect example of this harmony. They elevate the ambiance of a room while also addressing everyday challenges like noise and stress. Whether it’s a quiet moss accent in a meditation room or a bold artificial installation in a restaurant, these walls bring both serenity and performance into the spaces we spend the most time in.
At Naturalist, our mission is to help designers, architects, and property owners bring biophilic design to life in meaningful, lasting ways. Through our preserved moss walls and artificial wall garden panels, we offer customizable solutions that turn blank walls into wellness-driven statements.
