Pots and Planters To bring Your Home Alive

Pots and planters appear to be mere accessories to an otherwise complete home interior, or even and exterior setting. They can, however form the integral character of a space and completely transform the mood and comfort of your home.

How to Use Pots & Planters in Creative Ways Around Your Home

1. Make a strong first impression at your entrances and corridor spaces

First impressions matter not only in social situations, but also in home décor. The main entrance and corridor spaces are focal points of the house and offer many design possibilities. They are after all the first spaces your guests see when they arrive – and you can set the tone of these areas with elements that reflect your personality and style. Display seasonal blooms in vases of varying sizes on the foyer console table for a warm and inviting welcome. Add multiple points of visual interest with framed photographs, quirky lamps, a decorative tray for keys and letters, and your visitors will surely appreciate the attention to detail.

2. Add a touch of art to your home with fine ceramics

Chic and transformative with an endless potential for creativity and expression, ceramics continue to elevate both modern and traditional home decor styles. Ceramic pots and planters can give your house a soft and organic look while also doubling up as art pieces on their own. Dress up your homes and verandahs with artsy ceramic planters to create a statement-worthy look.

3. Activate those unused corners with some tall vases

Turn unused and awkward corners into eye-catching and inviting nooks with large planters and tall vases. Whether you fill them with flowers or use them as decorative objects, they add visual interest and bring a touch of nature indoors. Tall vases look best when they are anchored against a wall or a piece of furniture, and make it easy to occupy vertical space in all those hard to decorate areas. You can enhance the tall vases by layering it with smaller sized vases and planters around it.

4. Introduce stylish accents to your side tables and centre tables

Make your side tables and centre tables pop with the right mix of accessories and accents. A stack of books, travel trinkets in a quirky tray, some candles and seasonal blooms in a gorgeous vase – will turn your coffee table into an art installation! You can choose to display fresh or faux flowers in the vases to augment not just your mood but also the table decor. Don’t forget to layer the vase with smaller pots or ceramic bowls to add dimension and some height variation.

5. Give yourself the excuse to bring flowers home

Flowers bring a sense of joy and calm to the space and add a pop of liveliness to the decor. Whether you use natural flowers or faux blooms, you’re sure to impress your guests when you use eclectic vases and planters around your house. Opt for a set of contrasting planters in terms of size and patterns and match your floral arrangements with the furnishings and artwork to create a coherent theme.

6. Play with scale and textures to bring depth to your living room

Plants have a lot of personality, and so do the vessels in which you display them! Scale, style and texture should be kept in mind while decorating with planters and vases. Consider the feel and flow of the space and create groupings that will complement the overall look and aesthetic you are trying to achieve.

7. Add a serving of warmth to your dining table

When it comes to designing the perfect tablespace there’s one element that is critical – the flower arrangement. Not only do flowers brighten up a space, but they also evoke a sense of positivity and calm. For a larger rectangular table scatter multiple florals in small pots arranged in a line across the centre of the table. Or pick a large vase with a seasonal bouquet of blooms as a statement centerpiece. You can pick vases that complement your table linen to create a charming theme or go unconventional with quirky vases in contrasting colors.

8. Small ceramics make great accessory holders on your dresser

We love accessories and we love multifunctional ceramic bowls that double up as organizers and accessory holders! Stash your colorful trinkets in cute ceramic bowls – it’s convenient and adds a personal touch to your dresser. Add a stylish lamp or wall light sconce for warm lighting, succulents in a small pot and a soothing essential oil in a diffuser to create a cozy bedside nook.
