INTRODUCTION
Interior landscape design adds value to the interior of the
space, giving it a complete look. The commercial complexes can
have interior landscaping, with trees planted in coordination with
greenery waterfalls to go along with it, giving it the look of a
garden.
Interior landscape design plans the plantation of greenery in
such a way, that it heightens the beauty of the surrounding
region. The design sometimes may have cobbled paths to create
a pathway and grasses around it. Proper sunshine and regular
watering, along with occasional manure and trimming are

essential for the growth and maintenance of these trees and


plants.
Proper lighting should be placed to illuminate the space during
night time. If there is a large space, small gatherings can be
hosted in such natural surroundings.

EXPLANATION
SIGNIFICANCE
Indoor plants naturally purify the air and create a better living
or working environment.
English ivy, gerbera, etc. were found to be the best plants for
treating air contaminated with Benzene (in oils and paints). The
peace lily, gerbera daisy, and bamboo palm were very effective
in treating Trichloroethylene (adhesives, inks and varnishes).

COLLECTED RESEARCH ABOUT THE BENEFITS PLANTS


CAN BRING TO THE WORK ENVIRONMENT
University of Agriculture, Norway research
DRACAENin an office,
schools and the x-ray department of a hospital all showed that
with plants present both complaints about minor ailments often
linked to Sick building syndrome and absenteeism were reduced
by 50% in a planted office.
Washington State University, USA (1996) found that plants
reduced the physical signs of stress i.e. blood pressure, pulse
rates and skin conductivity. It also found that people working
with plants in the room were as much as 12% more productive
Texas A & M University, USA found that plants or even green
views decreased stress levels of recovering surgical patients
assisting faster recovery and flowering plants have a good effect
on surgical recovery. University of Technology, Sydney,
Australia 2010 found that even one plant made a difference to
mood reducing anxiety, stress and depression.

Research showed that plants improved mood and

Dr. Jane Stiles, Oxford Brookes University (mid 1990s)
found that plants in the reception of a hospital reduced fear of
their visit.
Amanda Read, Royal College of Agriculture, (2005)
showed that students were more attentive and more likely to
6

attend lectures in planted rooms. Planted classrooms afforded an


increase in student concentration of 23%.
Jorn Viumdal, University of Agriculture, Oslo, Norway (mid
1990s) found that shoppers stayed an average of 20 25
minutes longer in planted centers
Kathleen Wolfs (Washington State University 2002) study
showed that the perception of plants outside of shops in the Mall
gave them a perceived high class image
Dr Eamonn OMoore (1982) found that view of greenery
reduced the sickness of prisoners.
Plants can contribute to a buildings ranking from US Green
Building Council's LEED certification. Depending on level of
certification, LEED buildings tend to use less energy are built
from environmentally friendly materials. Interior landscapes can
contribute to LEED certification points in the following
categories: Innovation in design, indoor chemical and pollutant
source control, and water efficiency.
