If you\u2019re having a stressful day at work, try walking around a park on your lunch break. You may find that where you once saw red, you\u2019ll only see green. Nature, and plants in particular, have been shown in a number of studies<\/a> to boost our mental state. Even interior potted plants can improve a sense of well-being, boost productivity, and lower your blood pressure.<\/p>\n

A new generation of furniture designers are taking the well-being concept of the potted plant and extending this idea to furniture that grows. From leafy chairs to tables that showcase clippings under glass, growing furniture is a hot trend that can bring a sense of garden chic to your interior.<\/p>\n

A prime example is Michel Bussien\u2019s<\/a> Growing Chair. This Swiss designer has created his own little greenhouse in the confines of a chair shape, for a talking piece that will certainly liven up your interior with lush bursts of green.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s intriguing, but it\u2019s not the most practical piece of furniture. The Terra Armchair is a similar concept, but it\u2019s meant to go out in the garden instead, requiring not too much more than a cardboard growing frame and grass seed.<\/p>\n

Interested in greening a space on a slightly smaller scale? The Sky Planter Upside Down Plant Pot is a great housewarming gift idea at gifts.co.uk<\/a> if you don\u2019t want to splash out on a full piece of furniture. The concept is simple yet elegant. You hang your pots from the ceiling, and let the plants grow upside down. It\u2019s a good idea for people who may not have tons of space in a small apartment but still want the eco-friendly benefit of planting greenery indoors. They have a minimalist style and look great in most rooms.<\/p>\n
