Turf Up: 5 Ways to Use The Artificial Green Indoors and Out
Living in a small apartment? Faux grass might be for you
Or, if you recently used turf in a dreamy project such as this playroom, you can end up with half a metre or more of leftover turf. Instead of chucking this out into the bin, you can up-cycle the offcuts to make your urban home look and feel a little bit greener.

Here are 5 ways you can use turf indoors and out:
1. Replicate a garden right on your balcony
A balcony is the obvious application as standard artificial grass is built to withstand the elements outdoors. Make sure to properly plan the space so everything looks pulled together and works for you and your family.

Unroll the turf on your balcony or strategically place in between stone steps and potted plants, depending on the cuts you have. Pull out a beanbag and you have yourself a nice outdoor area.
2. ‘Tile’ your kitchen backsplash
Freshen up a windowless kitchen with a portion of ‘green’ on the wall. This also makes for a charming indoor garden when you place your hanging pots of herbs nearby.

3. Dress tall walls in a loft
We like this for the refreshing burst of green on an otherwise cold concrete surface. Plus, it makes the trek up or down the stairs a little bit more tactile. You can make a collage of small samples or arrange creatively to make your own piece of art.

5. Use as safety flooring for play areas
Instead of just plain rubber tiles, you can integrate artificial grass in a child’s playroom. It is just as easy to vacuum as carpet, naturally repels dust, and will not stain from food and beverage spills.

You can even extend the play area into your balcony.

At the household level, there are the occasional odd cuts that you find in your local hardware store or samples handed out at garden shows that you can rescue and keep from going into the landfills. Use them as coasters, placemats or door mats, for example.
