Flowers are undoubtedly a great gift for friends and family, in most cases to celebrate one thing or the other. But why should flower arrangements be saved just for special occasions? With people spending most of their time in the office (home or on-site), it is important to find ways to ensure the work environment is one that is calm, inviting, and overall allows for productivity.

Incorporating flowers into your daily work environment does not only provide beautiful decor, but studies have also shown that flower bouquets reap many benefits when placed within an office space. As a big believer in “flower power” and often known as the “Blooming Man”, Ebraheem Al Samadi, CEO of Al Samadi Group and Forever Rose London, stepped into The Beautiful Lifestyle Online to round up his top five benefits of having flowers in the office.

Flower Power: Why You Need Flowers in Your Office

Denotes a warm welcome

Placing blooms at the entrance of your office makes for a warm welcome for all who enter. Not only will the flowers give the reception a fresh scent, but it will also create a friendly and welcoming atmosphere for those who come to visit, as well as provide your workforce with a pleasant greeting upon their arrival. Whether you choose natural colors or bold arrangements to make a statement, it will be a pleasing addition to the workspace.

Freshens up the air

Flowers are a great way to freshen up the air within the workspace. Blooms and plants take in CO2 (the air we breathe out) and therefore can filter stale air within the office. Not only this, but studies have shown that having plants in an office can contribute to an increase in moisture levels which reduces airborne particles and makes the office more comfortable all around. If you do not have access to natural air within the office, this is a perfect option to add some freshness to the space.

Positive vibes

It’s no doubt that flowers are a mood booster. For both men and women, fresh bouquets of flowers provide a natural dose of positivity. As most of us decorate our households with plants and flowers, the added greenery within the office can provide similar comfort to employees as would being at home. Encourage staff to bring their own choice of flowers to put on their desks for an added mood enhancement. It will assist in implementing a positive attitude amongst the workforce while also providing a truly beautiful office aesthetic.

Beneficial to health

According to studies, flowers and plants within an office space can have a variety of health benefits for employees, including a reduction in colds, blood pressure, and anxiety. Not only this but it has been noted that energy levels are higher for those who have blossoms in view from their desk. With a better work environment, this generally leads to a healthier workforce and therefore they are less inclined to take days off from work, leading to higher productivity overall.
