what are the benefits of renting office plants vs purchasing?
office plant leasing offers multiple advantages over purchasing them outright. these include:
- flexibility: rental provides more flexibility, as you can update office plant displays as layouts, branding, or the seasons change. when you hire office plants for your business, you can experience aesthetic, wellbeing, and productivity benefits, while avoiding the responsibilities and long-term commitment associated with purchasing
- save costs: renting office plants can reduce upfront costs in some cases. get in touch with our team to get a quote for office plant hire
- convenience: we maintain your office plant installation too, carrying out essential plant care tasks, making sure your displays always look their best, while you focus your time and skills where they’re needed most
living vs artificial: what’s the best choice for office plant hire?
at I Want Plants, we office both living and artificial office plants for hire. our experts will advise whether live or artificial plants are best suited to your project, based on light levels, ambient temperature, and your capacity to care for your office plants. rental offers more options, as not all workspaces benefit from natural light, and your office plant supplier will typically provide aftercare and maintenance too.
while live office plant displays may offer more biophilic benefits, we can still create stunning green installations with artificial plants and flowers, which augment the same, positive mental stimulation, and provide an energising green focal point.
what are the best types of plants for office plant displays?
the best types of office plants for hire tend to be those that are low-maintenance, create an aesthetic focal point, and are well-suited to indoor environments with low natural light levels. plants known to thrive in office conditions include:
- snake plants
- devil’s ivy
- peace lilies
- zz plants
- succulents
- cacti
- artificial plants

support biophilic workplace design with office plant hire
biophilic workplace design allows architectural design to blend harmoniously with the surrounding natural vista. biophilic design maximises natural light potential into a building, and utilises natural materials for creating floor and wall coverings, furniture, decorative objects, and more.
interior colour palettes will also take influence from nature, with the inclusion of office plant displays, trees, and living walls all helping to bring the ‘outside’ in and promote the biophilic design philosophy perfectly.
how office plant hire supports building certifications
there is now widespread awareness of the importance of creating healthier and more sustainable workspaces; both for developers/commercial landlords to attract more tenants, and for companies to attract new workers. as a result, many businesses are working towards these certifications.

how office plant rental works
step 1: consultation
office plant hire from I Want Plants begins with a consultation. we’ll assess your workspace and identify the best types of indoor plants for your space, considering natural light, air quality, temperature, and what you want to achieve from your office plant installation.
step 2: proposal
following the initial design consultation, we’ll come back to you with a proposal for the types of office plant displays we recommend for your space. our team will also take the time to answer any questions you have.
step 3: installation
once you’ve confirmed you’re happy to proceed, we’ll allocate your plants and arrange a delivery date. your office plant installation will then be assembled by our horticulturally trained team, and we’ll make follow-up maintenance visits to keep your plants looking their best, all year round.
benefits of renting office plants
other benefits of office plant rental include:
increase productivity – close proximity to nature can even help to combat stress and have a restorative effect on mental fatigue, making staff more motivated and productive.
create a calmer workspace – office plants can help to reduce the sound of a wide range of frequencies, including outside traffic or the whirring of office electronics. Sound reflects on all surfaces, so even installing trailing plants from the ceiling will help to minimise sound reverberations.
improve air quality – office plant displays with plentiful foliage can improve air quality by collecting a range of harmful pollutants, such as pm10, pm2.5, no2, and o3, which usually originate from outdoor urban sources and are typically brought in via mechanical or natural ventilation.
enhance employee wellbeing – office plant hire supports cleaner air, reduced sound, increased connection to nature, and visual privacy. all of this can contribute towards improved physical wellbeing, which in turn could reduce employee sickness and absenteeism.

client testimonial
i want plants delivered a fantastic array of plants for our new office space. placement, branded pot colours and plant variety were all considered and come together to create a fresh and welcoming feel.
for our external space they provide new planters, created a feature living wall and provided elevated planting to draw your attention when you enter our car park.
overall, we had a fantastic experience from first point of contact through design and installation and now have an uplifting environment for our staff and visitors.

client testimonial
our hyvert living wall has become a popular addition to Liverpool Science Park’s main entrance and it is fantastic to discover just how much this green infrastructure has been contributing to the sustainability credentials at lsp over the past two years.
we’ve found that our living wall has positively impacted upon airborne pollution filtration, sound absorption, rhizoremediation, insulation, and carbon capture within our innovation centre, which is benefitting all users of the building.
