What Are The Advantages Of Artificial Plants?
You can Pop Them Here There & Everywhere
Unlike real plants where light, humidity and temperature are all important considerations, faux can be used everywhere and anywhere. Our faux plants not only look just like the real thing but you can add them to places that real plants wouldn't normally thrive. Pop some faux trailing plants in your bathroom to add a spa like vibe, or add a cluster of artificial potted plants to your bedroom for a look that's calm and harmonious. Just what you need to promote a good night's sleep.
They're The Ultimate Finishing Touch
Artificial plants resemble amazing sculptures and add oodles of style and a touch of magic. Look at faux plants in the same way you would any other home accessory. Think about their shape, their colour, their texture and above all play about with style and scale. Liven up dark corners or bathrooms, add softness to your kitchen shelves or take the eye to another dimension by popping one or two faux hanging plants on your bookshelves. It doesn't matter what other colours are going on in your pad, faux greenery refreshes and invigorates your home like nothing else.
Pet Friendly
Some real houseplants can be very poisonous for our furry friends and they are often tempted to give the leaves a munch, faux plants give peace of mind and are a kinder alternative for our precious pets.
Low Maintenance
Artificial houseplants require minimal maintenance, no need to worry about water and light levels, just ensure to give them a regular dust to keep them looking their best.
It doesn't matter what other colours are going on in your pad, greenery refreshes and invigorates your home like nothing else. Plants resemble amazing sculptures and add oodles of style and a touch of magic to any shelf, mantle and console in every room of the house. Enlivening nooks, from single stems to clusters of succulents. Whether you choose potted plants to pop on your coffee table or trailing foliage to brighten your bookshelves.
How To Care For Your Faux Plants
Artificial plants are relatively fuss free but they do need a little maintenance to keep them looking their best and to ensure that they last for many years.
- Wipe the leaves with a dry soft cloth to remove any dust.
- For any hard to reach areas you could use a dry paintbrush to get into any crevices.
- It is also recommended that your faux plants are not placed in outside or in direct sunlight.
How To Style Your Faux Plants
Creating Vignettes
Abi likes to create little still lives with plants by clustering a few together (faux succulents look super sweet) and create a mini installation. This is a popular goto trick designers use for styling homes. When you group things as opposed to leaving gaps, your eye takes in the whole vignette and the effect is super impactful.
Change The Pot
All of our faux plants are firmly set into their own pot, but you can add more texture and interest by popping them in something that's more suitable to your decor. Baskets and rustic clay pots are a great contrast to the leaf shapes and colours.
How To Make The Most Of Your Artificial Plants
If you’ve ordered your faux plants from us they will arrive in brown card box and a few tweaks will get them looking amazing. You may need to move the stems or leaves about a little to get them out of their packaged state. Most of our artificial houseplants have wired laves etc so are super easy to bend into shape. Trailing plants look great on a high shelf
Whichever look you like whether that's minimalist or you love the maximalist greenhouse look, faux plants are a brilliant addition to your home decor. It has been proven that artificial houseplants can stimulate the senses in the same way that real plants can, oozing calm and a direct nod to nature that creates a soothing and relaxing home vibe.
The plants in the Abigail Ahern collection look real to the eye and are incredibly textural. Trailing string of pearls (Senecio Rowleyanus) for instance look so impressive and their fronds of succulent beads almost ethereal, but keeping them looking fabulous can be tricky so the artificial version is the perfect solution. Pop them on a high shelf, their trailing stems won’t fail to impress. Some real plants can also be toxic to our precious pets, I have a furry kid so I prefer not to have that stress - going faux for me is a no brainer.

Liven up your space with our curated collection of artificial potted plants and artificial trailing plants. Real to the eye and incredibly textural, Abigail Ahern faux plants are perfect for creating a calm, tranquil aesthetic in your home.
