Transforming Ceilings With Vertical Gardens: The White Oasis Green Wall Project

Although the ceiling is often the most overlooked surface in interior design, Clare Keelan saw it as the perfect canvas for transformation. “I kept staring up and thinking, why does no one ever do anything with this?” she said. What if the ceiling wasn’t simply a flat surface? What if it became a living, breathing feature that shifted the entire mood of a room without a single change to the furniture or floor plan? 

That was the moment Clare stood beneath her soaring ceilings and realised they held untapped potential. Her home already had the hallmarks of high-end design. The steel-framed windows, curated décor, sculptural lighting, but it still felt flat. Polished. Controlled. “Everything was beautiful but too… expected. I wanted something that made people look up and feel surprised.” 

Clare’s love for interior storytelling pushed her to rethink what most people ignore. She called Designer Plants with a vision that sounded impossible. What followed was a transformation that challenged gravity and gave her home something it never had before. Soul. 

She was drawn to the idea of bringing nature indoors but didn’t want anything high-maintenance or artificial-looking. “I didn’t want plastic leaves collecting dust. I wanted something that looked alive.” 

That’s when the idea struck to have a vertical garden wall, but not on a regular surface, but on the ceiling itself. Could it work? Could it still look elegant? Could it become the centrepiece she envisioned? 

This is where the concept of ceiling green wall installation came to life.
