Indoor garden
An indoor garden is defined by living planting integrated into the interior, usually through planters, green walls, atriums, or planted light wells. It relies on moisture-tolerant finishes such as stone, tile, sealed concrete, treated timber, and corrosion-resistant metal around the planting zone. The palette is typically natural and layered, combining greens with soil browns, soft neutrals, and daylight-driven surfaces.

Frequently asked questions
Do indoor gardens need direct sunlight?
Not always. Many work with bright indirect light, skylights, or grow lighting, depending on the plants chosen.
What is the main maintenance concern?
Water management is the key issue: drainage, waterproofing, and humidity control need to be planned carefully to protect surrounding finishes.
Can an indoor garden work in a small home?
Yes. A compact planter, a light well, or a narrow planted corner can create the effect without taking much floor area.
