"Green Walls – how to create the look"
Many houseplant aficionados and Urban Jungle enthusiasts would love to create a green wall in their home but aren’t sure how to achieve it with their own DIY skills. Not only do green walls enable people to indulge their passion for plants without taking up any more premium surface space, but they are highly desirable from an aesthetic point of view and make for Instagram-worthy domestic scenes that will be the envy of friends and followers.
LECHUZA has the perfect solution with its innovative modular green wall kit, which can easily be set up in any room of the house, be it living room, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, home office, you name it. You can create a stylish and hygienic easy-pick herb garden in the kitchen, a luxuriant wall of foliage in your main living space or a jungle of humidity-loving plants in a steamy bathroom. The world really is your oyster!
How to set up your green wall
The green walls are very straightforward to set up and you have the choice of either buying a ready-made kit or kits, or putting them together yourself. The easiest solution is to purchase a simple Green Wall kit which includes three planters, magnetic brackets, sticks and water level indicator. Colours are matt white or slate or high gloss white, charcoal or red.
If you choose to do it yourself you will need the following equipment in as many combinations as you need to achieve the desired effect:
Metal Bar: This sturdy metal strip available from LECHUZA (RRP: £18.69) is the foundation of the green wall system, enabling you to easily attach the CUBE 14 and elongated CUBE Tripe to walls. You can hang up to three CUBE 14 planters or one CUBE Tripe planter on a single bar and combine several metal stripes to create a lush hanging garden, even in unusual or tucked away places.
Magnetic Brackets are needed to fix the metal bar (RRP: £14.44). The brackets are 4 x 14cm per piece and must be ordered separately to the bar. They are suitable only for indoor use and have maximum weight requirements.
CUBE Glossy 14 planter (RRP: £18.69) in Charcoal, Scarlet, White or Apricot, for a premium look that's perfect for the kitchen or bathroom. This planter is also available as a CUBE Triple (£32.29) in Charcoal, Scarlet or White, which has room for three plants and will slot perfectly into the bracket and will help create a stylish, modular appearance on the wall.
