When this Chattanooga hotel set out to enhance its outdoor space, it already had a beautiful mural that brought color and personality to the property. However, the long white brick wall beside it felt plain and unfinished, preventing the area from feeling like one cohesive design. To complete the space and give the mural even greater visual impact, the hotel partnered with Unreal Designs to create a custom artificial living wall.
The neighboring brick wall was completely covered with lush ficus paneling, transforming the blank surface into a rich green backdrop. The finished installation brings the entire area together, adding texture and natural character while creating contrast that makes the colorful mural stand out even more.
A beautiful mural gave one side of the space plenty of color and personality, but the long white brick wall beside it remained plain and disconnected. The contrast made the area feel unfinished and kept the mural from achieving its full visual impact. Covering the neighboring wall with ficus paneling created a more cohesive setting and gave the artwork a stronger backdrop.
As it hits the wall, the Ficus paneling reveals a dense arrangement of layered leaves in varied shades of green. The realistic texture and fullness conceal the brick beneath, creating the appearance of a lush, beautifully maintained hedge that adds dimension and natural character to the space.
The completed ficus wall transformed the once-plain brick surface into a vibrant green feature. Its rich color and texture complement the neighboring mural, making the artwork pop while giving the entire area a more polished, intentional, and finished appearance.
“We already loved the mural, but the plain white wall next to it made the space feel unfinished. The greenery completely brought everything together—and now the mural stands out even more.”
The Chattanooga Hotel![]()
This Chattanooga hotel project demonstrates how custom artificial greenery can enhance existing artwork while transforming an ordinary surface into an important part of the overall design. By covering the long white brick wall with lush Ficus paneling, Unreal Designs created a cohesive, eye-catching environment that feels complete and allows the neighboring mural to make an even greater impression.
