Did you know that surrounding yourself with flowers or plants at work doesn’t just brighten the room, but also improves your mood, reduces stress and can increase productivity by up to 15%? Several scientific studies say so… and we see it every day at BonBee when our customers’ spaces are transformed by a little touch of nature.
Today, we’re exploring the psychological and emotional benefits of flowers and plants in the workplace. Because decorating your shop, office or restaurant with floral arrangements is about more than looks: it’s an investment in wellbeing, motivation and the experience of your brand.
🌱 What does science say about plants at work?
We all know flowers are beautiful. What you might not know is that they’re also powerful tools for improving performance and the working environment. Here are a few findings to convince even the sceptics:
🧪 1. They measurably reduce stress
A study by the University of Hyogo (Japan, 2020), published in HortTechnology measured office workers’ stress levels before and after placing a plant on their desks. The result? A significant decrease in heart rate and an improvement in emotional wellbeing after interacting with the plant for just three minutes.

🧪 2. They increase productivity by up to 15%
A study by the University of Exeter (UK, 2014) showed that introducing plants into traditionally “minimalist” offices improved employee productivity by 15%. Employees also reported feeling more engaged and happier with their workspace.

🧪 3. They encourage creativity
A study by Texas A&M University found that employees surrounded by flowers and plants came up with more ideas and innovative solutions than those working in spaces without greenery. Ideal for creative teams or those facing constant challenges.

🌸 A shop or restaurant? Even more reasons
Your team aren’t the only ones who benefit. Flowers and plants also directly influence how customers perceive your brand.
-
A space decorated with flowers invites people to stay, conveying professionalism and care.
-
It improves the customer experience and can positively influence purchasing decisions.
-
In businesses such as clothing shops, cafés, clinics, beauty salons or yoga studios, a floral touch can be the distinguishing feature that sets you apart from the competition.
🎁 The thoughtful gestures that build a business
Do you know what else makes a difference in business? The little gestures.
Giving a floral gift to a member of your team on their birthday, when they have a baby or even during difficult times such as a bereavement strengthens the human connections within your business. The same goes for customers and suppliers. A personalised bouquet delivered at just the right moment can say a lot about your brand: warmth, sensitivity and care.
There’s no need to overcomplicate it: at BonBee, we make it simple and beautiful.
