Moss walls are made of decorative coverings for walls, using preserved moss on a base. Usually they form panels that cover a large area, rather than moss art or simple decor with small bits hung on the wall. Moss walls can be wall hangings from preserved moss, colored to look alive.
Occasionally you add live plant elements in the design, for instance air plants as a popular choice, together with artistically arranged wooden or stone bits
Easy Indoor Moss Walls
Moss is natural organic material with rich color and texture. Hence moss walls become a great way to add real natural art in the house. They cost relatively little and are made easily, even for people without experience in crafts.
Preserved moss does not require water, food or special light. The installation is simple and after it the look just works. Whether for tiny artwork or a whole accent wall, preserved moss is a modren solution.
MOSSwall is a new product from stabilized moss, intended to create vertical gardens inside without any work. It was patented by VerdeProfilo in 2009. The system makes wonderful natural coverings for walls inside houses.
Framed moss panels are modular and usable alone or combined for big areas. Frames can be metal, wooden or from plastic materials. People commonly use them in halls, rooms and meeting rooms, covering whole vertical walls as living alternatives.
Moss walls introduce green beauty in the room without using precious floor space. They do not require water or sun and are extremely flexible in design. Moss walls fit in every space where a living wall is not possible.
They belong to the most present trends of internal plantscaping. Main advantage, especially in open offices, is a decrease of noise. Acoustic moss walls attract the eye and almost do not require work, while they well absorb sound.
Preserved moss is not alive and can be colored, but it seems and feels virtually like normal moss. Alive walls with alive moss and plants are more sensitive, because they require right light, water and every care for house plants. Do not put moss walls beside heaters or air vents.
Blasts of warm or cold air will destroy it. Moss walls do not go beside wet places, like water, sinks or fountains.
People commonly use for moss decorations flat moss, bun moss and reindeer moss. They are grouped according to look, growth and natural surroundings. IKEA sells FEJKA artificial moss panels for walls, with at least 50% recycled plastic and a frame that is easy to mounttothe wall.
