Live And Preserved Moss Wall Art Frames: What Are They?

Modern-day interior decor has seen new trends and ideas from DIYers and experienced interior design artists over the past years. One of our favorites being moss art frames. These works of art give your home a splash of uniqueness while bringing a bit of nature inside.

Live And Preserved Moss Wall Frame

Live moss art frames: These are frames that have been filled with live, natural moss and sometimes other plants such as succulents, etc. These plants are placed into their frames in an order that gives off an artistic appeal. 

Preserved moss art frames: These are pretty much the same as live moss art frames, except they are created using natural, preserved moss instead of using live moss. These too can be combined with other preserved but natural plants and flowers to add more natural elements to the mix.

Preserved moss is natural moss that has simply been preserved to retain the plants' structure and color to give you a beautiful and vibrant natural plant that does not require any effort from you. Their preservation process involves soaking the plants in a solution of water and glycerol to replace the moisture in the plants while keeping them looking fresh. Food-grade colors are used to maintain the vibrance of the plants.

Any one of these moss art pieces would look stunning on one of your home walls and would definitely stand out amongst your furnishings to give whichever room you hang it up in a feel of luxury.

There are various types of moss you can choose from when deciding on a frame – these different mosses can be mixed together to give the frames different colors and different feels.

What Moss Is Used When Making A Moss Frame?

The best choices of moss that are applicable when creating live moss wall frames include:

• Reindeer moss
• Sheet moss
• Mood moss
• Pillow moss
• Fern moss
• Caribou moss
• Prairie sphagnum
• Broom fork moss

As for preserved moss frames, the following types of moss are commonly used:

• Reindeer moss
• Sheet moss
• Lichen moss
• Bun cushion 
• Feather moss

Depending on the moss art piece you choose, other natural elements may as well be implemented to enhance the look (preserved elements are used in preserved moss frames). These include:

• Live or preserved plants and flowers
• Preserved or dried wood
• Polished sticks and twigs
• Tree bark
• Small pebbles

What Type Of Frames Does Moss Art Come In?

Moss art comes in different frames according to preference. Mossaro’s options include square moss frames, circle moss frames, and rectangle moss frames – with the option to have a custom frame built according to the shape and design that you want. These frames are made from top-quality wood by skilled artists, with a professional finish.

Did You Know That Moss Wall Art Is Actually Beneficial Beyond Just Looking Nice?

Mossaro’s natural wall art decor frames come with some positive benefits as a bonus to just making your home walls look stunning.

• Moss walls reduce echoing in a room by absorbing sound waves, making them great to have around while you’re trying to concentrate on work or studies.
• Moss walls also absorb and store toxins that are in the air. This contributes to air purification around your home. 
• Moss walls have a tranquil effect that makes them great for your mental health.

Where Can You Hang Up Your Moss Art?

Live moss art frames can be hung up virtually anywhere inside and outside of the house. Because they are live plants, they require sunlight and water – this makes them great for exterior wall application. This is the opposite when it comes to preserved moss wall art. 

Preserved moss art frames are best put up inside on walls that are not in direct sunlight as the sunlight dries them up and causes their color to fade. This difference comes in handy when you want moss walls both inside and outside. 

You can have live moss walls outside where the elements such as rain and sunshine will help keep them alive while having preserved moss walls inside your house. Since preserved moss walls require no maintenance, you can have them inside and not worry about them dying if you don’t attend to them.

The Main Differences Between Live And Preserved Moss Wall Frames

Partying Thoughts…

If you ever stare at your walls and feel like they are too bare, then maybe you should consider hanging up a moss wall art frame. Our recommendation would be the preserved moss wall art frames from Mossaro because they have all the health and aesthetic benefits as the live moss walls, but require no effort from you – meaning you never have to wake up in the middle of the night from your deep slumber because your brain just reminded you that you forgot to water your moss wall!
