Astroturf, also called Artificial or Synthetic grass, was originally developed for use on sports fields. Today, the same grass is being used for a wide range of domestic and corporate applications. It is being used to transform gardens all over the world. The latest trend has been the installation of Astroturf to indoor environments. This can be said to be bringing the outdoors inside.

One of the biggest users of artificial grass within indoor space is the commercial and corporate sector. The grass is being used in heavy-use areas to keep them green and
for a long time, despite a lot of foot traffic.

A great example is to be seen in trade shows, where artificial grass is used to create an exciting space for potential customers. It is also used to make booths stand out from others. Other applications include breakout areas in coffee shop and restaurants. You can also find the grass being installed around indoor pools to mimic an outdoor pool. Health spas are using it to mimic a healthy oasis. Hotel lobbies are also using this grass to create a welcoming atmosphere for their customers.

When you want to have some space where you can just sit or lie down and relax, you can use artificial turf. Whenever you stand on a grassy field, you automatically feel relaxed. This is one of the reasons why corporate environments are implementing Astroturf to keep employees happy and productive. The grass has been psychologically used in brainstorming or meeting rooms for the enhancement of creativity.

Astroturf has also been found to be great for residential applications too. It can be installed as a temporary or permanent covering for the floors of homes. If you have a playroom for your children, you can make it more exciting by installing artificial grass. The themes can be varied, meaning that you can create a cave or other natural treat that children would love. You can imagine how much fun the kids would have in the room, during the cold drab winter months.

Did you know that you can install Astroturf on your walls, or make it into covering for your furnishings? This is something that you may find in offices and shops rather than homes, but with a little creativity, it can be extended to the home too. You can create a synthetic grass sofa set, which would serve as a great way to start conversations with your house guests, as well as add some spice to your home.

Artificial grass is great for both outdoor and indoor use. It is resistant to UV radiation and will keep its green color for several years, and is also environmentally friendly. It is extremely durable, soft to the touch and is very easy to clean. There is little maintenance required when you use artificial grass, and you can easily use a mop to wipe out spillages, unlike carpets which have the tendency to stain.
