Garden on the Wall® Blog

Design and trends are ever-changing, but good, human-centered design is always universal.

At Garden on the Wall®, our focus on the universal principles of great design inspired the creation of articles for our Greening Perspectives® brochure in 2023. What began as a curated collection of insights soon evolved into a beautifully crafted publication that embodies one of our core company mottos. Following its release, we continued to expand on these ideas transforming them into blogs where design professionals can find valuable information.

Our blog explores biophilic design, sustainability, neuroaesthetics, mindful design, biomimicry, restorative and regenerative design, salutogenic design, neuro-inclusivity, trauma-informed design, neuroarchitecture, and more. We share how these principles can shape human-centric spaces that enhance well-being and productivity, offering inspiration to stay ahead of trends and create environments that promote health, connection, and happiness through moss walls, preserved gardens, green walls, vertical gardens, hanging plants, and planter inserts crafted with preserved foliage from Garden on the Wall®.
