Bring Your Space to Life
Adding decor to any room in your home is a way to completely transform the space, whether you are interested in using a certain color scheme or if you envision a specific theme for the area. Whenever you are in the process of decorating or remodeling any area of your home, consider adding planters into the mix.
Planters come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors for optimal flexibility and plenty of customization options. If you are creating a Zen woodsy space or if you want a funky and colorful eco-friendly office area, planters deliver.
Before You Buy
Before investing in new planters for any area of your home, there are a few things to consider, such as:
- Purpose: What purpose do you wish your planter to serve? Are you looking for outdoor planters such as a plant with pot already included? Are you focused on patio pots for trees or do you prefer decor planters that do not require tending?
- Quantity: How many planters do you need for the room or space you are updating? Will you require different shapes and sizes of planters you intend to purchase? Will you be purchasing planters with the same material with each of your new planters, or are you willing to mix it up?
- Atmosphere: What type of atmosphere are you interested in creating with your new planters? Are you using planters to build an entirely new environment for a space in your home, or just as a prop or decoration? How will the planters impact the overall atmosphere and aesthetic of the room you are working on updating? Are you searching for a summer planter to brighten up the warmer months, or outdoors planters for year-round decor? Do you require large pots for planting, or small pots for plants based on your living space?
- Placement: Where do you intend to place and install your planters (if they are hanging, especially)? Will your planters be the center of attention when entering a room, or will they be placed in corners as ornate decor and accessories to a space?
Features to Consider
Because planters are so versatile and come in plenty of shapes, sizes, and colors, it is important to research and compare all of your options before making your purchase.
Some of the most important features to consider when shopping for planter decor include:
- Material: What type of material are you looking for with your new planters? Common materials of planters include traditional plastic, metal, and rope, along with other materials such as silicone and wood.
- Style: Is there a particular style or look you are going for with your new planters? Are you seeking an ultra-modern and sophisticated wooden planter, or are you more into patterned plastic planters that are funky and vibrant? Consider the style that is most fitting for your personal preferences as well as the vision you have for your working space.
- Size: What size planters do you need? Do you intend to purchase multiple printers of different sizes? Measure the spaces and areas you intend to place a planter in to ensure you are shopping for the right size.
- Shape: Do you prefer square, circular, hexagonal, or even unique planter shapes? Should all of your planters have the same look and shape
- Hanging or non-hanging planter
- Suitable for life: Are you interested in using planters that are suitable for life and real plants, or faux plants and decorative plants only? If you want your planter to be suitable for life, seek out planters that have drainage holes within them.
