Creative Ways to Bring the Outdoors In

Houseplants are fantastic for adding life and a touch of nature to your living space, but let's be honest - those plastic nursery pots they come in? Not exactly a design statement. The good news is with a little creativity you can elevate your plant game by choosing unique and interesting planters and plant stands. From vintage finds to hand-painted masterpieces, the right piece can completely transform a humble houseplant into a focal point for your home. 

Houseplants are fantastic for adding life and a touch of nature to your living space, but let's be honest - those plastic nursery pots they come in? Not exactly a design statement. The good news is with a little creativity you can elevate your plant game by choosing unique and interesting planters and plant stands. From vintage finds to hand-painted masterpieces, the right piece can completely transform a humble houseplant into a focal point for your home. 

So, let's explore how to bring the outdoors in! 

 

 

Plant Stands

 

Plant stands are an easy and effective way to not only elevate your favorite flora, but also great at filling awkward corners or tiny niches with an intentional element that becomes an eye-catching focal point. Whether you prefer a mid-century modern stand to complement a fiddle leaf fig or a natural rattan plant stand to showcase a trailing monstera, plant stands are a fun way to add dimension and visual intrigue to any room. You can also play with heights to create a layered effect that adds depth and interest to your indoor jardin. 

 

 

Ceramic Planters

 

Ceramic planters are a fantastic way to combine textures and shapes with nature's beauty to reinvent your indoor space. With various shapes, sizes, and styles to choose from, you’re sure to find the perfect planter to complement your existing décor and showcase your unique style. From sleek and modern profiles for a minimalist vibe to the more rustic, earthy looks for a bohemian feel, there's a ceramic planter out there to match your taste.

In addition to their aesthetic appeal, ceramic planters offer several practical benefits. They are durable and long-lasting, and the material helps to regulate moisture levels in the soil, promoting healthy plant growth.

 

 

Transform Your Tablescapes with Tabletop Greenery

 

Liven up your side tables and dining surfaces with a touch of greenery. Tabletops are the perfect space for showcasing a variety of plants. For a low-maintenance option, consider a terrarium filled with succulents or air plants. If you have more space, a single potted plant can create a stunning centerpiece. Don't be afraid to mix and match textures and heights: a stone or metal planter adds an industrial feel, while a sleek ceramic pot injects a modern touch. No matter your style, incorporating greenery onto your tabletops is a guaranteed way to bring the refreshing energy of the outdoors into your home.

 

 

Indoor Garden Getaway

 

As the summer heat intensifies and the outdoors become less inviting, why not create your own tranquil escape inside? Transforming a nook or corner into a zen garden getaway can be as simple as pairing a small cafe or side table with garden stools, and crowning it with a cascade of fresh florals to create a tranquil space for you to appreciate nature without ever stepping outside.

 

Don’t be afraid to explore! Unleash your inner interior designer and get ready to bring the outside in like never before! Let your plants take center stage and transform your home into a flourishing urban jungle that reflects your unique style. There's a perfect match waiting for every plant and every personality.
