Luxury designers with an interest in green living trends are jumping on the living wall bandwagon as one of the top picks for 2013. Unlike your normal painted or wallpapered surface, living walls can be designed in a color and shape that suits your interests, and they help to oxygenate your living space as well.

Plants like bamboo, azalea, spider plants and aloe vera help to remove toxins from the air, making them a great option for laundry rooms and mudrooms.

Green walls often contain succulents and moss that require little maintenance and water, giving your space the feel of the great outdoors in the chicest way possible.
