The Key Role of Plants in Shopping Malls
The success of a shopping mall hinges on more than just providing a place for consumers to buy things. Successful malls are about the shopping experience, which means creating an environment that’s inviting and provides a place for fun, recreation and leisure.
Interior mall plants have a critical role to play in creating the shopping mall atmosphere. Interior plants –whether live mall plants or artificial mall plants — add warmth, beauty and class to a shopping mall. Interior mall plants help direct pedestrian traffic flow, create soothing rest areas, visually separate space, reduce noise levels, and add an aura of atmosphere to mall food courts. In general, mall interior plants enhance the overall image, experience and market positioning of any mall.
