Real or faux, plant lover or plant serial killer, or in between, one thing is for sure: We have an innate longing to connect to the great outdoors. Also known as biophilia, it implies that our need to connect with nature affects our physical, mental and social needs which ultimately improves our wellbeing and productivity. This concept is used in interior design by introducing aspects such as plants, water, natural light as well as elements such as wood and natural stone to simulate nature indoors.
How do interior decorators and designers do it? By adding greenery into their design schemes. Plants have been proven to not only reduce stress but also increase happiness and help purify the air. They also improve our clarity of thought, as well as acting as a natural mood booster. Now more than ever, as the world continues to urbanize and a lot of our time is spent indoors, it is not only necessary but essential to create indoor environments that reference nature in different ways.
Which brings us to these questions: Are real plants better than artificial plants? What about wallpaper? Is it a tangible enough presence that can improve our connection to the great outdoors? I am here to tell you that all plants can have a good effect on you.
The 90s style wallpaper that featured plants and flowers is back but with an updated modern twist. Using an oversized botanical motif, cascading foliage, succulent leaves and intricate tapestry detail, wallpaper can be one way to connect to the great outdoors without the effort and commitment.
You can create an indoor oasis that will serve as a refuge from the outside world, whether you live in a condo or house, and if you choose real or faux plants. The positive effects of any greenery will add to your well-being.

Strong growth in sales and prices in the GTA in July was driven primarily by lowrise home types, notably within the city of Toronto, according to the latest data from the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB). And in the condominium segment, despite more balanced market conditions, year-over-year price growth remained in the high single digits.
Sales recorded a 29.5-per-cent increase over July 2019 – a new record for the month of July, TRREB reports. On a preliminary seasonally adjusted basis, sales were up by 49.5 per cent compared to June 2020.
The overall average selling price was up by 16.9 per cent year-over-year to $943,710. On a preliminary seasonally adjusted basis, the average selling price was up by 5.5 per cent compared to June 2020.
"Sales activity was extremely strong for the first full month of summer," says TRREB President Lisa Patel. "Normally we would see sales dip in July relative to June as more households take vacation, especially with children out of school. This year, however, was different with pent-up demand from the COVID-19-related lull in April and May being satisfied in the summer, as economic recovery takes firmer hold, including the Stage 3 re-opening. In addition, fewer people are travelling, which has likely translated into more transactions and listings."
"Competition between buyers continued to increase in many segments of the GTA ownership housing market in July, which fueled a further acceleration in year-over-year price growth in July compared to June," adds Jason Mercer, TRREB's chief market analyst. "On top of this, we also experienced stronger sales growth in the more-expensive detached market segment, which helps explain why annual growth in the overall average selling price was stronger than growth for the MLS HPI Composite benchmark."
