Brilliant or bonkers?

Living walls

“They’re a superlush statement and there’s no other way you could get such tactile 3D texture. While a genius use of space for compact gardens, patios and balconies, they can also quite literally bring the outside in, especially in a room next to the garden. A living wall extends that outdoor feel even with the doors closed.” MICHELA COLLING, STYLE EDITOR

“I’m not one for creepy crawlies so I can’t help but think of everything that might be lurking beneath the leaves! I can barely keep a houseplant alive and I imagine a living wall is fairly high maintenance, so I wouldn’t fancy being left with a sad, brown area. I guess in that case, faux is the way to go!” STEPHANIE DURRANT, FEATURES EDITOR
