Living a lifestyle connected to the outdoors has a significant impact on maintaining both mental and physical well-being. It’s no surprise that, as many of us have been spending more time indoors, home décor trends have shifted toward natural elements and natural color schemes. No matter the size of your home, whether you’re in a cozy apartment or a spacious bungalow, incorporating a bit of nature into your interiors is always possible.
One easy and effective way to do this is by using artificial grass. Its low maintenance and versatility make it an excellent choice, not just for outdoor spaces but also for more creative indoor applications, adding a refreshing, natural feel to any room.
At Eikaebana, we believe in the power of creativity, and we’re excited to share eight unique ways to use artificial grass mats around your home.
Add Softness to a Balcony
Lush potted plants and the illusion of grass can transform an urban terrace into a garden. Synthetic grass can be a great solution for balconies and rooftop gardens where it could be impractical to grow and maintain a living ground cover. Here, an artificial grass mat rug looks soft and inviting for bare feet.
Just imagine the hassle of clipping live grass on this narrow balcony off your apartment. Conversely, artificial grass mats require little maintenance and give a laid-back feeling to any urban perch.
Kids’ Play Area
Artificial turf is famous for being resistant to extreme pressure and harsh conditions. It is also soft on kids and that makes it the ideal option for your kids’ play area. It is safe and your kids will love playing on it since it gives them a large area to mess around in.
Set Between Pavers
Ground covers growing between pavers soften the hardscape and act as a transition from paved areas to the surrounding garden. While this is a great look, it can be difficult to maintain living grass since pavers get in the way of the path of the mower. An artificial grass mat gives the same look without the need for mowing.
Artificial grass mats installed between cut stone pavers add green to the patio without the maintenance needs of living grass.
Use as a Soft Surface for Play
Artificial grass mat is tough enough to withstand heavy foot traffic but provides a cushy landing. Installed under a children’s swing set in backyard, it acts as a landing pad that’s far softer than a deck or patio surface.
Keep in mind that this application would be recommended only in areas away from direct sun or reflected heat, both of which can cause the turf to get uncomfortably warm for play.
Add a Patch of Green to Courtyards
Breaking up expanses of hardscape with soft artificial grass mat works well in small backyards. It might not be worth the trouble to get out the mower and maintain a 6-foot-by-6-foot patch of grass in your courtyard. An artificial grass mat gives the same look of a lush area of green without the trouble.
Cover Outdoor Furniture
These playful poufs would undoubtably be a conversation-starter at any backyard party. Since artificial turf is manufactured for outdoor use, it can stand up to exposure to the elements far better than most outdoor fabrics. Pick up a roll from your local home improvement store and cover outdoor cushions or ottomans for an unexpected accent.
Put It Under Outdoor Furniture
Outdoor lounges, chairs and dining tables look inviting on soft grass, but it can be a chore to remove the setup for weekly mowing.
For small areas, trade living lawn for artificial grass mat and you won’t need to move your furniture at all.
Lay Down a Doormat
Synthetic grass is a useful material for transitioning from outside to indoors.
Place a length of it as a doormat for guests to wipe their feet on before heading inside. Artificial grass mat is tough, durable and can be hosed off when it gets muddy.
Given the benefits of easy installation and low maintenance, while creating the look and feel of inviting green grass, for balcony spaces and smaller outdoor areas an artificial grass mat is your best choice. Indeed, creating a small balcony garden with artificial grass allows you to surround yourself with abundant greenery, without sacrificing your relaxation time for lawn care.
