Ceiling greenery: A ceiling made from 100% real moss — 0% maintenance.
And what if the most striking surface in your room is right above your head? High-ceilinged rooms and exposed ceilings are architecturally spacious — but acoustically challenging. Ceiling greenery transforms precisely this area into a floating eye-catcher that absorbs sound. Made from real, preserved moss, it requires absolutely no maintenance.
Before you start thinking about ceiling design, it’s worth considering what your rooms need to achieve today: a focused working environment despite background noise, a reception area that makes a good impression in seconds, and an atmosphere where people enjoy spending time. Suspended ceilings and a coat of paint don’t address any of these issues. A blanket made of moss answers all three.
What sets MOOSMOOS’s ceiling greenery apart
MOOSMOOS ceiling greenery consists of a ceiling surface made of 100% genuine, preserved moss — as a full-surface Moss ceiling, as a ‘Botanical Sky’ featuring preserved plants, or as individual ceiling panels. Thanks to the gentle preservation process and our Druckpräparation+ technology The material retains its natural colour, depth and texture for many years — without water, without light, without maintenance. And because preserved moss is lightweight and requires no watering, it places no burden on your ceiling structure in terms of moisture or maintenance — which is why there is effectively no living alternative for overhead applications.
Every moss blanket is created as Handcrafted to measure at our manufactory in Oppach in Oberlausitz — from the ceiling panel above the meeting table to a full-surface installation in the atrium. Edges, steps, joists or integrated light sources are not an obstacle, but rather part of the design: our mounting system accommodates spotlights, sockets and technical equipment.
For environmentally conscious choices: Our moss products carry the Blue Angel, and as a manufactory, we have been producing exclusively in Germany since 1998 — with over 25,000 projects completed since 2016, ranging from small and medium-sized enterprises to the Principality of Monaco.
The moss ceiling
The quiet answer — a solid expanse of moss.
The full-surface Moss ceiling transforms the room’s largest open space into a continuous natural scene: serene, deep and sound-absorbing. It follows edges, ledges and beams, lending character to high-ceilinged rooms without taking up a single centimetre of floor space.
Botanical Sky
The lush answer — the jungle above your heads.
In the Botanical Sky, preserved ferns, grasses, eucalyptus and jungle plants grow out of the moss surface into the room — a hanging garden set on a base of Iceland moss, ball moss and forest moss, accented with bark, branches and stones, which never needs watering. The perfect choice for the catering and hospitality sectors, and any venue where photos are taken looking upwards. The ideal jungle for your wall is shown by the Jungle wall.
Ceiling sails & panels
The flexible solution — greenery exactly where it’s needed.
Individual sails and panels divide large spaces into zones: above the meeting table, above seating areas, along the bar — coordinated with the lighting and the spatial layout. Even existing grid ceilings can be transformed into moss, section by section, without any building work and without making a mess.
Your ceiling is the largest unused Acoustic surface of the room.
Sound rises — and echoes back into the room from hard ceilings. The open-pored structure of the moss captures it right where it is produced: above our heads. That is why Ceiling greenery is most effective in high-ceilinged rooms with exposed ceilings, in restaurants and open-plan offices.

Pole Moss & Bun Moss — the sculpture
Soft, sculpted panelling with considerable depth. The first choice when you want the surface to appear as a three-dimensional object — and the most effective natural sound absorber in the range.
Islandmoos — the colour
Finely textured and available in a wide range of colours. Ideal for logos, gradients and large, calm images with a uniform texture.
Flat moss — the area
The wooded, natural-looking plain. Ideal as a base for moss mix compositions or as a minimalist, solid surface with the character of a forest floor.
Moss mix — the landscape
The crowning achievement of the manufactory: several types of moss, ferns and preserved plants arranged to form a relief-like landscape — each piece is unique.
What is ceiling greenery? is worth
The value drivers
Four factors determine the scope of the project: the surface area, the chosen types of moss and plants, the ceiling structure (direct mounting, suspended or grid ceiling) and overhead installation — which is more labour-intensive than wall-mounted installation and is clearly itemised. Bespoke ceiling greenery systems from our manufactory typically start at around €3,000.
In return, you avoid the ongoing costs usually associated with green roofs: no water, no electricity, no maintenance contract, no replacement — and no moisture load on the ceiling structure. MOOSMOOS ceiling greenery is a one-off investment with a lifetime guarantee.
Or as monthly instalments — leasing for business customers
Many of our business clients opt for leasing: Ceiling greenery goes from being a capital investment to a predictable, fixed item in the monthly budget — keeping cash flow within the company. During a personalised consultation, we’ll work out transparently whether leasing makes sense for your project and what the monthly instalments would be.
All figures provided are for guidance only; leasing terms apply exclusively to business customers and are presented as illustrative examples based on your specific project. You will receive your binding figures during a personal consultation.
A moss ceiling, an acoustic ceiling or an artificial plant panel?
Moss ceiling by MOOSMOOS
100% natural with a measurable acoustic effect — and, thanks to its deep-penetrating colour, it remains green permanently, whereas surface-dyed products turn grey. Lightweight, maintenance-free, with integrated lighting and a lifetime guarantee. The only Ceiling greenery solution that combines character and functionality.
Classic acoustic ceiling
Mineral fibre and mesh ceilings provide reliable sound absorption — but they look the same as in any office building in the world. Functional but characterless: if you simply want to reduce reverberation, this is the solution for you; if you want to give a room character, it isn’t.
Artificial plant ceiling panels
Maintenance-free, but made of plastic: it lacks the depth, texture and acoustic qualities of genuine materials — and can be recognised as an imitation when viewed up close. Hanging above the heads of guests and customers, it makes a statement — but not a good one.
Living ceiling greenery
Virtually impossible to implement overhead: watering, growing medium and weight all argue against living systems on the ceiling. This is precisely where preserved moss is not the answer — It is the only solution.

Frequently asked questions for ceiling greenery
How is ceiling greenery installed?
Depending on the design: fitted directly, suspended like a sail — or fitted panel by panel into existing grid ceilings. The elements are prefabricated in Oppach; our installation team carries out installations throughout Germany and internationally, usually without causing any mess.
How heavy is a Moss ceiling — can any blanket cope with that?
Very lightweight — weight is practically never an issue. Preserved moss requires neither water nor a substrate, so there is no moisture or weight to contend with. We will clarify the fixing and construction details in the design, including for suspended ceilings and plasterboard.
Can lighting be incorporated?
Yes — our mounting system accommodates spotlights, light sources and technical components. Lighting becomes an integral part of the design rather than a compromise; edges, steps and joists are also taken into account.
Does a moss ceiling need to be cleaned?
No. No water, no light, no maintenance — the material is antistatic and dust-repellent; it will not need dusting for at least five years.
What is a Botanical Sky?
The lush variation on the Moss ceiling. Preserved ferns, grasses and jungle plants grow out of the moss surface into the room — a hanging garden that never needs watering. Particularly popular above tables in restaurants and hotels.
Is there such a thing as living ceiling greenery?
It’s practically impossible to do this overhead: watering, the weight of the growing medium and dripping water all make it impractical. Preserved moss is not a viable alternative when mounted on the ceiling — It is the only solution.
How much does ceiling greenery cost?
The scope is determined by the surface area, the types of moss, the ceiling structure and the overhead installation. Projects typically start at around €3,000; business customers can opt for a leasing arrangement instead. You can obtain a specific quote in the personal advice — On weekdays, we’ll get back to you within 24 hours.
Are there fire-resistant versions available for ceilings?
Yes — fire safety is often a requirement, particularly for ceilings. We offer specially treated versions for hotels, hospitals and public buildings; the additional cost is calculated on a project-by-project basis.
