No, they do not. The belief that they do comes from a fair observation read the wrong way round. Artificial foliage does not pull dust out of the air any harder than a living leaf does — it simply keeps every particle that lands on it, because nothing about it moves, grows or drinks. A […]

Almost every piece of artificial greenery we are asked to rescue was perfectly well made. The fault is rarely the manufacturing — it is a decision taken early, usually before anyone stood in the room with a tape measure. The seven mistakes that come back to us most often, and what to do instead.

Clinics and spas put unusual demands on greenery: no soil near treatment areas, nobody free to water, corridors too narrow for planters and humidity that defeats cheap foliage. A practical guide to what works in reception, corridors, treatment rooms and wet zones.

Outdoors, the planter usually gives up long before the tree does. What a Lebanese summer actually does to a container — UV, heat movement, trapped water and wind — and how an outdoor planter is specified, drained, weighted and finished so it lasts.

Stand close to a green wall that does not quite work and you will usually find the same leaf repeated a few thousand times. The colour may be good, the panels may be level, the coverage may be dense — and it still reads as a manufactured surface rather than planting. The problem is not […]

Event and seasonal greenery spends most of its life in storage, not on display — which is where its lifespan is actually decided. A practical guide to packing, storing and bringing back artificial trees, garlands and green wall panels in Lebanese conditions.

Restaurants, hotels and lounges judge greenery every single evening. Five things that work taught our Jdeideh workshop about how to build pieces that survive a working venue.

Everything decorative has to arrive, go up, survive a full room of guests and come down again inside a window nobody will extend. That constraint, more than taste or budget, decides what works at an event venue.

Look up in almost any room you have worked hard on, and there is nothing there. In a tight space the ceiling is often the only surface left — and greenery is one of the few materials that can use it without making the room feel lower.
