Indoor Garden Design brings plants into the home at RHS Chelsea 2017

Award-winning Indoor Garden Design showcases ‘At Home with Plants’ an innovative installation comprising three walk-through rooms, situated within the Discovery area of The Grand Pavilion.  The exhibit brings to life the beauty of plants in the home and shows how to use them in interior schemes, while highlighting the scientifically-proven health benefits associated with having plants in the home and working environment.

The living room, bedroom and bathroom each incorporate current trends in house plants, showing the right plant for the right place, and includes information on keeping plants healthy. The spaces are further enlivened with information on the plants used within each scheme.

At Home with Plants is co-created with IKEA, in celebration of the beauty of horticulture within the home.

Ian Drummond, creative director of Indoor Garden Design said: “It’s gratifying and very exciting to see how fashionable indoor plants have become and I’m thrilled that visitors to the show will have the opportunity to experience exciting ways of using plants within the home to maximum stylish effect.  Our exhibit will also show how much plants can improve the health and wellbeing of the occupants of home or office, and this is a very important part of our message.”

Lisa Bradshaw, sales leader for Plants at IKEA UK & Ireland said: “At IKEA, we believe that you don’t need a lot of time, money or space to furnish your home with plants. With trends in urbanisation and small space living, not everyone has access to an outdoor space and that’s why we’re encouraging people to grow their own plants at home.  From our understanding of life at home, we know that nature indoors can provide a sense of calmness, tranquillity and improve wellbeing too. We also know there’s a desire for people to live a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle by growing and eating their own produce, which is why we have introduced the VAXER Hydroponics range, allowing people to grow their own herbs and vegetables indoors.

“We’d love everyone to enjoy the many benefits of having plants at home, which is why we’re excited to  be working with Ian and the team at Indoor Garden Design for the ‘At Home With Plants’ installation”.
