HOSPITALITY: Planter Design Case Study | Cece’s Roland Park by UpScapers

Elevating Hospitality Design with Coordinated Interior and Exterior Planters at Cece’s Roland Park

When it comes to hospitality design, greenery isn’t just an accent—it’s a design strategy. At Cece’s Roland Park in Cross Keys, Maryland, UpScapers delivered a fully coordinated interior and exterior planter program that enhances the guest experience from arrival through the indoor environment. This project focused on creating visual continuity through custom planter design, using premium artificial greenery to achieve a polished, elevated aesthetic without the challenges of live plant maintenance.

Why Planters Matter in Hospitality Spaces

In restaurants and hospitality environments, planters play a critical role in shaping atmosphere. Thoughtfully designed planter installations help soften architectural lines, add warmth, guide movement, and reinforce brand identity. For Cece’s Roland Park, the goal was to use greenery as an intentional design element—one that feels cohesive across interior and exterior spaces while responding to the unique conditions of each environment.

The Design Challenge

Cece’s Roland Park needed a planter solution that worked seamlessly both indoors and outdoors while maintaining a unified visual language. Inside, the planters needed to introduce height, texture, and softness without overwhelming the space. The greenery had to feel natural, layered, and purposeful within the interior design. Outside, the planters needed to deliver bold curb appeal with materials that could withstand exterior conditions. The challenge was to create visual impact while still aligning with the refined look established indoors.

A Tailored Artificial Greenery Solution

UpScapers approached the project with a custom design strategy for each area, selecting artificial greenery that balanced realism, durability, and design intent. For the interior planters, faux fiddle leaf trees and faux dracaena trees were used to create a layered composition. The contrast in leaf shape and structure added visual depth while introducing vertical interest throughout the space. For the exterior planters, all‑weather artificial green wall panels were installed horizontally within the planter boxes. This design choice transformed the planters into architectural features, delivering a structured, modern aesthetic with lush greenery that performs year‑round.

Design and Installation Execution

Every element of the installation was planned with scale, placement, and material compatibility in mind. Inside, the faux trees were arranged to feel balanced and intentional, providing fullness without crowding the space. The combination of fiddle leaf and dracaena trees allowed the planters to feel dynamic while remaining visually cohesive. Outside, the horizontal orientation of the artificial green wall panels created a strong visual rhythm. This approach gave the exterior planters a distinctive identity while still connecting them to the greenery‑driven design inside. The result is a smooth visual transition that feels curated from the exterior arrival to the interior dining experience.

The Impact on the Space

The completed planter program elevated Cece’s Roland Park with a refined, design‑forward presence. Indoors, the greenery adds warmth, dimension, and a welcoming ambiance. Outdoors, the planters make a bold statement that enhances curb appeal and reinforces the property’s aesthetic. By treating planters as integrated design features rather than decorative afterthoughts, UpScapers helped create a hospitality environment that feels intentional, polished, and complete.
