Bring Greenery with Artificial Turf

Greenery can be brought into an apartment in many ways. Live plants need constant maintenance and they also need a lot of sunshine. The same goes for lawns and turf. It is difficult to grow turf and grass unless you have a well-tended terrace garden. Even then, maintenance would be required 24/7, time that most of us don’t have. Does this mean that we forget our green dream? Not necessarily. That’s why most apartment interior designers in Bangalore are opting for artificial turf. It may not be the real thing, but it does bring in a lot of green in your apartment and it is quite lush.

 

What is artificial turf?

 

Artificial turf is faux grass made from synthetic fibres. It was widely used in sports ground. Now they have become a permanent fixture in homes that don’t’ have space for natural grass.It is suitable for balconies, terrace, patios, lawns, poolside and even inside the house. It offers the look of natural green without the high maintenance. At the same time, faux grass can also get very hot. So, most apartment interior designers in Bangalore recommend installing them in places that have high traffic and where planting a real patch of grass would be impossible to grow.

 

Terrace garden

 

Planting grass could be challenging in apartments as it requires attention and warrants high maintenance. But, by keeping some potted plants along with a square or rectangle patch of faux grass can transform an apartment terrace or balcony to a garden. Set the artificial turf like a rug and place some chairs around it with a coffee table in the middle to enjoy that relaxing morning cuppa.

 

Convert your patio

 

Often, courtyards are paved by stone with gaps, and potted plants are used for the garden setting. Fill those gaps with faux grass as they will boost the surroundings with authentic look and feel of original grass. Most apartment interior designers in Bangalore go with faux grass as it does not require the maintenance of living grass.Also, it stays green all-year round irrespective of changing seasons.

 

Play area

 

Faux grass is made from synthetic fibres but is also quite smooth in texture. It is a perfect setting for kids-play area as it can cushion their fall rather than a patio or front yard surface. However, one should note that faux grass can heat up immensely when kept under the direct sun. So, it is recommended to install them away from those areas so that playtime could be fun.

 

Pet lover’s assistant

 

Home interior designers in Bangalore suggests artificial turf strongly when there are pets in the houseful grass is highly absorbent in nature and also stain-free. It is a good choice for apartment owners with pets. It easily absorbs liquid waste without running the risk of discoloration and easy to clean when it comes to solid waste. It needs to be periodically hosed down to keep the turf clean.

 

Transition

 

Most of the apartment interior designers in Bangalore use faux grass to create the transition effect of outdoors to indoors. By using it as a doormat or a patch of grass allows the people to enter without any mud stuck to their shoes or feet. As it is tough and durable, only a simple hose down is needed to clear out the debris.
