Different ways to decorate with large plant pots for an oasis of calm
Large potted indoor plants aren’t necessarily harder to care for than tiny houseplants – and they give you more bang for your effort. Find some easy tips for decorating with large plant pots in different styles and ways. Even fake plants can make a refreshing green impact if you don’t have the time or a green thumb.
Divide a room with plants
It takes only one or a few strategically placed oversized houseplants to make your home feel like the oasis of your dreams. Most big plant pots look great on the floor, while the smaller once look adorable on nightstands and tables. Match a wide indoor tree with a plant pot that’s wide in the opening.
Create privacy from the busy street with plants
Take your indoor garden to new heights with tall plants that give a big impression. Not only do they add beauty to your window, but they can add privacy where needed, too. If your windows are small, extend the feeling of green happiness and use a shelf to showcase your smaller friends.
Infuse lush green flair in a shady space
Because sometimes you just don’t have light — or time. Fake plants can look so real they become a go-to for anyone looking to add texture to dimly lit corners and for those craving a pop of refreshing green without the plant-care. Add a perfectly sized natural fibre basket and you’ll have a nice beachy touch.
Show off your green thumb with plant stands
Plant stands filled with several tiny houseplants can be a single decorative piece – or why not repeat them to get a jungle feeling? Use pots in different heights to create an artfully arranged oasis or use the same style plants to get a simple, bold impression.
Liven things up in a big way
High plants in large pots are a beautiful way to bring the outside in. A tall plant by your dining table gives you the cosy green atmosphere over your head without blocking the view to the person you’re having a conversation with. A self-watering plant pot keeps your tree happy even if you forget to water it.
Glam up your window sill
As long as a room has a window, it can have a houseplant! Use plant stands as an extension of the window sill to make the space more lush. By grouping plants like this, you get a big green romantic feel. A few accessories make it easy to care for your sprouts, while you get a piece of nature’s peace.
Use your plant pot for other things than plants
If your green plant didn’t go as planned, you can still keep the beautiful pot and repurpose it somewhere else in your home. In your hallway, try a large size to hold umbrella, totes, and other outdoor gear. This one in naturally bamboo has an inner saucer to collect excess water.
