What Is Moss Wall Art? A Complete Guide to Preserved Moss Decor
What Is Moss Wall Art?
Moss wall art is a stunning form of natural decor made from real moss that has been preserved to maintain its vibrant look and soft texture — without needing water, soil, or sunlight. At The Moss Shop, each moss piece is handcrafted using sustainably sourced moss and arranged into organic, sculptural designs that bring natural calm to any space.
Preserved Moss vs. Living Moss
Unlike living moss walls, preserved moss art is maintenance-free. It doesn’t grow, doesn’t need light, and won’t attract pests. The moss is treated with a safe, glycerin-based solution that locks in its color and softness for years. This makes preserved moss ideal for both residential and commercial interiors where low-maintenance greenery is desired.

| Needs Sunlight | No | Yes |
| Lifespan | 1015+ years indoors | Depends on upkeep |
| Maintenance | None | Regular care required |
| Best For | Indoors only | Indoors/outdoors |
How Moss Wall Art Is Made
Each piece from The Moss Shop is made in-house by hand. Our process begins with raw wood, which we cut, join, sand, and finish ourselves using high-quality stains and protective poly coatings. Once the custom frame is complete, we carefully arrange various moss types — including mood moss, reindeer moss, and sheet moss — to achieve the desired texture and flow.
We also incorporate natural elements like sponge mushrooms, ferns, driftwood, and stones for added depth and dimension. Every design is one-of-a-kind.
