Abstract
People in today's society spend the majority of their waking hours indoors. Individuals are increasingly separated from nature in the fast-paced metropolitan surroundings of the twenty-first century, leading to a variety of physical and mental health concerns. Even in the United States, there are about 27 million office employees who could get sick building syndrome. Interiorscaping addresses this gap by incorporating natural components into indoor settings, which promotes better air quality, stress reduction, and increased productivity. Interior landscaping is the practice of growing and arranging plants indoors. To enrich and enhance the look of the indoor environment, it entails choosing, installing, and maintaining plants. Indoor plants, green walls, and sustainable design ideas all contribute to healthier, more enjoyable living and working environments. The benefits of indoorscaping are: provides privacy, screens unpleasant view, define space, controls traffic, glare reduction, softening architecture. Different types of indoorscaping are being used like: vertical garden, softscaping, terrarium, dish tray garden, hanging garden, windowsill garden, waterscaping, aquascaping, etc. With growing concerns about climate change and the need for environmentally friendly practises, introducing greenery into indoor areas can help with carbon sequestration, energy conservation, and overall ecological balance. Today, Interiorscaping use both modern technology and the experience of nature, which leads to increased creativity and productivity and, in the end, the creation of spaces that has soothing effect on our mind and soul. Hence, not only would interior landscaping save power consumption but also foster the development of human energy in our homes, businesses, neighborhoods and cities.
