Vertical Gardening

 It is no secret that landscaping is now booming in the decor industry than any other interior concept. In fact, if we look up into its history, vertical gardens have been in existence since the Babylon era ! 

Ideas of landscaping might not be new but are definitely transforming the world of interior designing, shifting the focus from only paintings and sculptures as beauty to bringing nature into a living space.

What Is Vertical Gardening You Ask!

It is a completely innovative and productive thought of co-existing with nature while adding another dimension to an indoor or outdoor living space. This is one of the best ways to save space with a garden growing up.

Aniruddha Interior thinks that Vertical gardens are perfect for disguising an unattractive area or drawing attention to a mesmerizing view.

How Do They Work You Think!

Well! It is no rocket science to make plants grow vertically. Trellis plants, climbers, vines, and a number of fruits and vegetables grow vertically. In vertical gardens, the base root-system should be big enough to fit the bed of a growing plant. Columnar trees or structures are used to grow vertical gardens.

For indoors, small-stature house plants are the best options to create a tapestry of beautiful colors and texture, also great for filtering indoor air pollutants. They not only make the view pleasant but maintain the right atmosphere within. Whereas, large, open or traditional spaces can be filled with trellises or columnar trees with upright structures.

A Few Suggestions On What Can Be Planted!

Though, the plants that require lesser maintenance and care are better options, berries, tomatoes, honeysuckle, wisteria, morning glories, cucumbers, peas or melons are a few of many plants that can be considered growing vertically.

PLANTS

In nature plants grow on vertical surfaces like cliffs or tree trunks. Such growing environments have little or no soil, good drainage and provide stable support for roots to attach to. Our planting system replicates these conditions while creating an ideal vertical growing environment for this specific group of plants.

 

Choosing plants for the outdoor vertical garden

Outdoor vertical gardens require a plant selection suitable to the local climate and sun exposure. For example a sun-exposed wall in the Mediterranean can be planted with aromatic plants like Lavandula, Thymus, Rosmarinus or Salvia, whereas a shaded wall in the same location can look almost tropical with plants as Arum, Davallia, Asplenium, Begonia and Fuchsia. As with any garden it’s key choosing the right plant for the right location.

Plants suited for indoor climate

Indoor climate normally equals low light levels and around 20° C. Plants for such environments can be found under the tropical forest canopy where little light filters through and life is adapted to deep shade. Common plants used indoors are aroids like Philodendron, Anthurium and Epipremnum, gesneriads like Aeschynanthus, Columneaand Streptocarpus, ferns such as Nephrolepis, Pteris and Cyrtomium.

Mirrors continue to be an interior design favorite — and for good reason. They reflect light, add shine, visually expand a space, add a decorative touch to any interior, and create a stylish finishing accent.“Mirrors are appearing in so many fun new forms this year,” says ID Sriparna N Sarkar, owner of Aniruddha Interior

Top Five Tips & Trends for Decorating with Mirrors in 2022

Metals: Interior designer says there’s a wide range of metals available with mirror designs, and choosing the right one compliments and completes a space. An aged gold can feel more vintage, black metal is more sleek and urban, and a silver or mirrored frame adds extra sparkle and shine. While other designs mix metals —  which brings together a variety of colors and tones in a room. 

Placement: placement is key when you’re designing a space and considering mirrors. “The most important thing to consider is what it’s reflecting,” ID Sriparna says. “A mirror amplifies, so you want it to amplify something important — like a window, a chandelier, or a gathering space — not a table that collects clutter, because then you’re amplifying the clutter. If what’s reflected isn’t pleasant or important, like ceiling fan, it’s not the right place for a mirror.”  avoid placing the mirror right in front of the door. “It can be startling to see a reflection of yourself as soon as you walk in the door.

Let there be light: Consider putting a mirror above a lamp or opposite a window where it can reflect light and brighten up a room. Aniruddha Interior also suggests placing a mirror opposite an entryway for a “greeting effect” that can make small and narrow entryways and hallways feel more expansive.

Grouping: Instead of hanging a mirror by itself, group it with other wall decor pieces. You can hang a cluster of mirrors together, or another option is to place the mirror with framed artwork or canvases. This offers different textures and adds interest. Aniruddha Interior says her best mirror grouping tip is to think in odd numbers. “Odd number groupings of objects are nearly always more appealing to the eye,” she explains. “So think 3, 5 or 7 if you’re wondering how many mirrors to considering in a grouping.”

Height: Aniruddha Interior says to keep in mind that the height of the mirror affects what it’ll reflect and its functionality. A mirror hanging at eye level makes it both decorative and functional. If you’re placing the mirror above furniture, a general guideline is to go 6 to 8 inches above the furniture if it’s roughly 35 inches high. Go with 8 to 12 inch spacing for shorter furniture. If the furniture is taller, leave only 3 to 5 inches between it and the mirror so the mirror isn’t too high.
