Indoor & Outdoor Planters

Planters House Your Botanicals in Style

Whether you prefer live plants or artificial botanicals, be sure to house your greenery in a planter that suits your style. Indoor planters mesh with your furniture and decor, while garden planter pots give life to the patio or backyard space. Want to move your flora around as the seasons change? Indoor/outdoor planters feel at home no matter where you place them. Once you know where your botanicals are going to live, it's important to consider the different styles available. For example, floor planters are a classic option that add visual intrigue to the room. When doing your fall decorating with artificial plants, think about filling a floor pot with dried grasses or warmly-colored flower stems. Place them next to the living room sofa or dining room sideboard to help the space feel full and inviting. If you're looking for spring decor ideas, meanwhile, opt for lush greenery in a brightly colored planter. No floor area to spare for standing pots? Try hanging up convenient and modern wall planters, or use a tabletop planter to display your succulents as a centerpiece at your next dinner party. When it comes to outdoor planters, think bold; ones in striking shapes and colors stand out and define the mood of your open-air space. Large outdoor planters look regal on either side of the front door, while a collection of smaller outdoor flower pots make a natural addition to any balcony or windowsill.

Choosing a Planter Material

After deciding whether you want the planter to live on the floor, wall or elsewhere, be sure to pick a material that suits your aesthetic. Large planters of terracotta, for instance, convey a natural touch, and also work hard to keep moisture within. Even better, outdoor planters made from this material hold up especially well to the sun and rain, so they'll stay pristine for seasons to come. Wood planters, on the other hand, look especially fitting when holding trees and lush greenery. Plus, they mesh easily with surrounding wooden furniture and decor. Glazed planters lend the space a sleek feeling, and tall planters that are glazed anchor whatever room they're placed in. No matter which material you select, make sure that your plant life is getting the care it needs. Artificial flowers and succulents look alive and healthy at all times, while live plants require more consideration when it comes to sunlight and planter styles. Window sills that see lots of sunlight are a smart choice for many botanicals, and rectangular planter boxes often make the best use of the space they offer.
