Indoor greenery

Living plants planned for Nice rooms, radiator niches, and shutter habits.

Chapter I — Scale to salon and bedroom

Indoor plants here handle noon glare, closed shutters in heat spikes, and dry air above stone floors. A salon corner may hold one calm floor specimen; bedrooms keep softer foliage that does not compete with sleep.

We measure sill width, radiator clearance, and ceiling height under mouldings common near the Promenade.

Chapter II — Light as the brief

South rooms toward the bay need vessels that shade roots and species that forgive intense summer light. North rooms in Cimiez may need taller green that still thrives under courtyard shade.

If shutters stay closed on travel weekends, we choose plants that recover by Monday rather than collapse overnight.

Chapter III — Soil, pots, floors

Terracotta and parquet need saucers that do not stain. Pot weights must suit lift cabins and Old Town stair turns. Soil mixes drain after occasional overwatering.

Where children or pets share the floor, unsuitable species stay off low shelves.

Specimen note — Aspidistra leaf: deep green, dust-tolerant, slow growth suited to radiator-adjacent corridors; avoid overwatering after misting.

Chapter IV — What the plan contains

You receive a room-by-room plant list, vessel sizes in centimetres, a care sheet timed to Nice seasons, and sourcing notes for local nurseries. Placement sketches keep balcony doors clear.

Plant purchase sits outside design fees unless you ask us to coordinate delivery on a separate invoice in EUR.

Chapter V — One room or the flat

Many households begin with salon and entry, then add bedrooms once watering feels settled. A full-apartment pass suits renovations when floors and paint are already open.
