Choosing Your Panels
So, to make your own wall using fake ivy and artificial grass wall panels, you have to know a bit about your fake plant options. There are dozens out there, and they’re really not all the same quality. You’ll want to shop for panels made with high-quality materials and realistic detailing. Here are some of my favorites:
-
- Artificial Boxwood: Dense, rounded or heart-shaped leaves, formal hedge look
- Artificial Sinica: Fine, delicate leaves, wispy texture, soft and ethereal aesthetic
- Artificial Gardenia: Glossy, dark green leaves, white blooms, elegant and refined look
Artificial Boxwood: When it comes to classic, timeless greenery, you can’t go wrong with Artificial Boxwood panels. These lifelike beauties have lovely, rounded heart-shaped leaves. Boxwood panels mimic the dense, compact growth of real boxwood shrubs. Whether you’re creating a formal topiary, a classic hedge, or a sophisticated green wall, you’ll get unparalleled versatility and style.
Artificial Sinica: this is perfect for a softer, more ethereal look. These fine, delicate leaves create a wispy, feathery texture for that touch of whimsy or romance. These panels are ideal for creating dreamy, fairy-tale inspired gardens or for softening the edges of a modern, minimalist design.
Artificial Gardenia: this option is best for adding a touch of elegance and refinement to your green wall. The glossy, dark green leaves provide a lush backdrop for the stunning white blooms, creating a look that’s both sophisticated and glamorous. These panels are perfect for adding a touch of luxury to a formal entryway, a chic boutique, or a high-end event space.
I’ve found that mixing two or three different panel types creates a dynamic, intricate look that mimics the organic variation of real plants. The results are always stunning.
Grassing Up Your Walls
I can hear the skepticism now. “Artificial grass is for lawns and putting greens, not walls, bro!” I get it, but hear me out. First off all, using fake grass inside is more popular than you might think. Plus, if you wanted a safe approach to styling your walls, you’d be shopping for some greige patterned wallpaper. But you’re not. You want something unique … something bold! And using artificial grass panels on your walls is a bold, unexpected move that can completely transform your space in the most delightful way.
Why Grass Walls Rock
-
- Texture: Artificial grass panels add a unique, tactile element to your walls that’s both visually striking and irresistibly touchable. It’s like having a plush, green carpet on your wall!
- Acoustics: The soft, sound-absorbing properties of artificial grass can help reduce echo and create a more pleasant acoustic environment. Say goodbye to harsh, reverberating sounds!
- Biophilic Design: “Biophilic” is basically a fancy word for being closely in touch with nature. And incorporating natural elements like grass into your interior design has been shown to boost mood, productivity, and overall well-being. It’s like bringing the outdoors in, minus the mud and bugs.
Grass Wall Design Ideas
-
- The Accent Wall: Create a show-stopping focal point by covering a single wall in artificial grass panels. Pair it with some sleek, modern furnishings and you’ve got a look that’s both fresh and sophisticated.
- The Playroom Paradise: Transform a kid’s playroom into an indoor jungle gym by installing grass panels on the walls. Add some colorful climbing holds and watch your little monkeys go wild!
- The Zen Den: Create a serene, meditative space by combining grass walls with soft, ambient lighting and some cozy floor cushions. It’s like having your own private yoga studio, minus the sweaty mats.
- The Sports Fan Cave: Show off your team spirit by creating a mini sports field on your wall. Use white tape to create yard lines and add some artificial turf panels for the ultimate game day backdrop.
Embrace the unexpected! And have fun with those artificial grass wall panels. Don’t be afraid to mix and match different textures, colors, and patterns to create a look that’s unique (and uniquely you).
Installation Tips
One of the best things about these panels is how easy they are to install. Most come in interlocking grids that you simply connect and fasten to your surface of choice. Here are a couple tips I’ve learned along the way:
-
- Make sure your surface is clean, dry, and structurally sound before starting
- Use a sturdy outdoor adhesive or mounting hardware for secure attachment
- Trim panels as needed with wire snips for a seamless fit, especially around corners and edges
- Fluff and bend the foliage after installation to achieve a full, natural look
