For many of us, the wall behind our desk is now the most-seen wall in the house. Clients, colleagues and interviewers see it every day on video calls. A blank wall looks bare, virtual backgrounds glitch around your hair, and a bookshelf needs constant tidying. A small flower wall behind your desk solves all three and makes your home office a nicer place to work.
Why a Flower Wall Works on Camera
- Looks real because it is real: no flickering edges like a virtual background.
- Adds depth: textured flowers give your video more dimension than a flat wall.
- Memorable and professional: it gives people a talking point and makes your calls look polished.
- Nothing to tidy: unlike shelves and ornaments, it always looks the same.
- Brings nature indoors: greenery and flowers make a workspace feel calmer, with no plants to water.
How Many Panels Do You Need?
You don't need a full wall. Your camera usually only sees the area directly behind your head and shoulders. Our panels are 60cm x 40cm, so:
- 4 panels (2 across, 2 high) cover around 1.2m x 0.8m, enough for a tight camera frame.
- 6 panels (2 across, 3 high) cover around 1.2m x 1.2m, our recommended size for most desks.
- 9 panels or more create a full feature behind a wider desk or for standing presentations.

Choosing a Colour for Video
- Green foliage: calm, natural and suits almost any profession. Try the Green Foliage with Whites & Wisteria or Green Tropical.
- Ivory: bright and clean, and bounces light onto your face. See the Ivory Foliage.
- Soft pinks: warm and friendly, great for coaches, beauty professionals and creatives.
- Avoid matching your clothes, so you don't blend into the background.
Get the Lighting Right
Face a window or use a ring light in front of you, so your face is well lit and the flower wall behind sits slightly softer. A string of warm fairy lights along the top adds a nice touch for evening calls. See our full guide to lighting a flower wall.
Perfect for Content Creators Too
