Every year, decorators and designers suggest new trends, colourways, materials, and finishes for terraces and patios. However, incorporating unique pieces that reflect your personal style is what truly sets a space apart
Whether you prefer a minimalist, Mediterranean, vintage, or rustic look for your terrace, the key is to add a stand-out piece. Investing in unique handmade pots and ceramics is a great way to add a touch of exclusivity. Or consider incorporating designer planters or stands that complement your overall décor.
To create a truly dynamic arrangement, don’t be afraid to mix it up a little by playing around with planter sizes. Using colour and size to establish focal points and guide the eye is a surefire way to create impact. Maxi-sized planters, when positioned carefully, create a bold statement. Another striking choice that never fails to make an impression is a large white ceramic pot with a smooth, textured, or even illuminated surface. Yes! Some planters feature built-in fluorescent lighting that activates as daylight fades. With a range of light colours available, you can choose a planter that perfectly complements your space.
To ensure the longevity of your designer planters, consider using them as decorative outer pots rather than planting directly in them. This protects them from the damage caused by watering and aggressive root growth.
Dare to opt for something different. The most eye-catching plant pots are those that are like small pieces of art, as well as functional planters. The more creative, the better!
If a designer piece is beyond your budget, consider adding your personal stamp by getting creative with DIY projects. Paint your planters with whimsical designs. You could make planter creatures by adding eyes, braids, and animal ears! Or use rope, chains or macramé to create unique stands for floor planters or hanging baskets. But be sure they fit in with the overall look.
A large rectangular planter can double as a practical space divider with the added bonus that they lend themselves
to being decorated with paints, geometric patterns or mosaic tiles.

look elegant.
