Real or Artificial. Designed Properly.

In a market saturated with ready-made botanical solutions, it’s easy for installations to become decorative rather than deliberate. Whether working with real or artificial elements, the difference between something that simply fills a space and something that truly elevates it lies in intention.

At LHD, we believe botanical installations deserve the same level of thought as any interior or architectural feature. Placement, proportion, material selection and spatial flow are not secondary considerations. They are the foundation of every successful installation.

Standing Out in a Crowded Market

The rise in artificial florals, planting and trees has created a crowded and often indistinguishable market. Many solutions look similar, rely on the same products and are installed with speed rather than strategy.

The LHD difference lies in design.

Rather than offering off-the-shelf installations, we create tailored botanical schemes that respond directly to the space, the brief and the brand or lifestyle of the client. This ensures every project feels distinctive, considered and impossible to replicate elsewhere.

Design Before Installation

Too often, botanical installations are approached as a product exercise. Items are selected, delivered and positioned with little consideration for how they interact with the surrounding environment. The result may look pleasant, but it rarely feels resolved.

At LHD, every project begins with design.

Before a single stem is selected or a structure fabricated, we consider how the installation will live within the space. How it will be viewed, how it will be experienced and how it contributes to the wider narrative of the environment. This design-first mindset ensures each scheme feels intentional rather than added as an afterthought.

An Investment, Not a Short-Term Fix

Thoughtfully designed botanical installations are an investment in how a space is perceived and experienced. When done properly, they elevate interiors, strengthen brand identity and create environments people remember.

By prioritising quality, longevity and considered design, LHD installations are created to endure. Whether real or artificial, each scheme is planned to deliver lasting impact rather than a temporary visual moment.

This approach not only enhances the aesthetic value of a space, but also ensures long-term return through durability, reduced maintenance and timeless appeal.

From Concept to CAD

LHD offers a full design service that supports clients from initial concept development through to detailed CAD layouts and technical drawings. This allows ideas to be explored, refined and resolved before installation begins, ensuring clarity at every stage of the process.

By working in this way, installations are not only visually impactful but also technically sound. Proportions are considered, logistics are planned and potential challenges are addressed early, resulting in smoother installations and stronger outcomes.

Working With Real and Artificial Elements

Both real and artificial elements have a place within botanical installations when used thoughtfully. Each brings its own qualities, considerations and advantages, and the role of LHD is to determine the right balance for each project.

Artificial elements offer longevity and consistency, while real planting brings movement, seasonality and a sense of life. When designed together with intention, they can create immersive, layered environments that feel authentic and enduring.

The key is not the material itself, but how it is used.

The work of LHD goes beyond decoration. Each botanical installation is designed to spark emotion, tell a story and enhance the way a space is experienced. Whether for commercial, retail, hospitality or private environments, the focus is always on creating schemes that feel architectural, immersive and integrated.
