Summer has arrived and what a great time of year to add greenery to your home with indoor and outdoor planters. Surrounding yourself with living plants not only enhances the beauty of your home but breathes relaxation into your spaces.
Large scale planters near entries and walkways have big impact when layered with tall plants combined with trailing vines, place one by your front door for a welcoming entry.
Add drama to your entry with an Antique Gold Statement Planter or a touch of tropical with the Square Bronze Pineapple Planter. Woven outdoor planters like the Cancun Short Planter work in any space from coastal to modern, or add a dose of Italian flair with the Williamsburg Tuscan Urn.
Indoors or out create mini forest or desert landscapes in terrariums by combining ferns or succulents under glass, place them around the house and watch them grow all summer long as you spend more time relaxing with friends and family.
Terrariums come in all shapes and sizes, choose one that complements your home. Will it be the narrow Bell Jar Terrarium or the Pierre Faceted Terrarium? Also consider the tall and angular Clear Glass Hexagon Terrarium or the wider Bell Jar Terrarium.
Exotic or tropical plants are showstoppers when placed in intricate cachepots or planters. The light on a sunny day highlights their motifs, place them in an entry or in a vignette to add a sophisticated touch to your home.
To achieve a similar look, place an orchid in the Hand Painted Bird Cachepot on a stack of books or in the Lemon Square Floral Cachepot. The Coral Floral Cachepot adds a fiery dose of color, the Floral Porcelain Footbath allows you to gather several plants together for a lush display.
Take the opportunity this time of year to layer your home inside and out with stylish planters you’ll enjoy all season long.
