This article examines the architectural, spatial, and ergonomic solutions of integrating floristic elements into the interiors of public buildings, particularly cafes and bars. In the context of modern urbanization, the growing demand for ecological and biophilic approaches in the HoReCa sector (hotels, restaurants, and cafes) determines the main direction of this research. Within the framework of the study, the influence of floristic compositions on functional zones, circulation flows, and the characteristics of human visual perception was analyzed using comparative analysis, the grafo - analytical method, case study, and design modeling methods. The results show that the placement of plants in interior spaces performs not only an aesthetic function but also important engineering and architectural roles, such as optimizing the microclimate, ensuring acoustic comfort, and visually zoning the space. The article formulates generalized principles for the development of floristics, enabling the application of sustainable and climate - adaptive solutions in interior design. The proposed comprehensive model can serve as a practical guideline for architects and designers.
