Leading interior landscaping company Fosters Breathing Space can now provide contemporary planted displays for all sectors of the hospitality industry. The company, who have recently enjoyed huge success at the 2008 Facilities Show, are now offering contemporary interior design plants and containers for the hospitality market.

Given the fact that the hospitality industry relies on those all important first impressions to receive good ratings and attract return visitors, an impression that plants and foliage are known to improve, Fosters Breathing Space are giving hotel managers exactly what they need.

Interior design plants are an important factor in achieving visual beauty alongside environmental balance, what’s more outsourcing interior landscaping to Fosters Breathing Space leaves hotel staff free to attend to guests, improving attention to detail even further.

Numerous studies have shown the positive effects that plants can have in a business and office setting so it makes sense that hotel managers and owners should be utilising interior design plants. Plants not only help to make visitors feel more relaxed and at home but they can also create focal points and stylish backdrops in atriums and lobby areas.

With a study in the United States by the Associated Landscape Contractors of America (ALCA) providing evidence that interior plants not only improve hotel occupancy rates but also reduce heating and cooling costs by 20 percent1, it is no wonder that hotel facilities managers are taking notice of the use and the impact of plants in their hotels.

Speaking about the role Fosters can play in the hospitality sector, Daniel Foster, Director of Breathing Space commented;

“Some hotel managers who have approached us in the past have been wary of adding yet another element to their already hectic schedules but understand the potential impact the addition of reception plants can have on their guests. Our maintenance packages also give them peace of mind in knowing that their business plant displays are always well presented.”

“We can supply a large range of plants to suit all areas and decors from contemporary architectural plants such as the Yucca Elephantipes to more elegant plants like the Howea Forsteriana, coupled with our collection of top specification containers our business plant displays offer the ultimate in elegance and style.”

As the credit crunch looms over the UK encouraging Brits to holiday in the UK, hotel managers should be doing all they can to keep visitors coming back. Interior design plants bring with them multiple rewards that are well worth investing in.
 
And with the suggestion that interior plants can also help to boost hotel occupancy rates investing in plants should almost certainly be a prime concern for managers in the hospitality industry. For more details visit www.breathing-space.com
