Moss walls are made of decorative coverings for walls, made from preserved moss on a base. Usually they form big panels that cover a large area, rather than moss art or moss decor that stay as little bits hung on the wall. Organic material full of colors and textures, moss turns a moss wall into a natural artwork for the home.
They cost relatively little and are easy to make even for people without craft experience
Moss Walls: What They Are and How to Care for Them
A moss wall hangs and uses preserved moss dyed to look alive. Occasionally you put living plants in the design, like air plants or artistic arranged wood or stone elements. Preserved moss does not require water, food or special light.
Installing it is simple, and later it just looks good. Whether for a little art bit or a whole accent wall, preserved moss is a modern soltuion.
Moss walls bring greenery without taking precious floor space. They do not require water or sunshine and show big design flexibility. Main advantage, especially in open offices, is reduction of noise.
Acoustic moss walls catch the eye, almost do not require work and well absorb sound.
Framed moss panels are modular, usable alone or combined for big areas. The frames are from metal, wood or plastic materials. You commonly use them in halls, lounges and meeting rooms.
These installations cover whole vertical walls as living alternatives. Moss walls fit in every space where a living wall is not possible.
There are some rules for placing them. Do not put a moss wall beside heaters or air vents. Warm or cold air from them will quickly destroy it.
Also avoid places with moisture, near running water, pipes, sinks or fountains.
Varieties of moss for such decorations include flat moss, bun moss (also called round moss) and reindeer moss (also called silver moss). They are grouped by look, growth and natural home. Reindeer moss, actually a lichen, works well for walls.
Live moss requires more work and attracts flies, so preserved moss is simpler. IKEA offers the FEJKA panel with artificial moss plant, that mounts easily, made from at least 50% recycled plastic with a simple mountingframe.
