Mixing materials is one of the most beautiful trends in home decorating. Ceramic, metal, wood, concrete, and reused containers that create original planters are perfect for creative outdoor decor. Additionally, mixing sizes, designs, and colors creates an interesting and contemporary look.

Adding visual layers

To create visual layers, you can use tall and low containers or create groups of planters in odd numbers. Mixing designs and colors gives a dynamic look to outdoor decor. Plant stands, support structures, and wall-mounted holders help add height and free the ground space. Adding hanging baskets with flowering plants and greenery to decorating fences, pergolas, and walls creates picture-perfect, layered, and beautiful outdoor decor. Even ceiling-mounted hanging planters work wonders.

Beautifying floral arrangements

Color and texture are fantastic tools for enhancing the beauty of floral arrangements. Planters in contrasting colors and materials, along with a mix of green foliage and bright blooms, look fabulous. Textured planters and original designs add tactile and visual interest to floral arrangements. You can paint your planters and glue appliques to create unique designs and transform ordinary, plain pots.

Strategic decorating with planters

Placed strategically, planters become beautiful outdoor decorations that accentuate the spaces. Attractive planters make statements and look charming on porches, steps, patios, fences, and tables. These Green and cheap decorations transform window boxes, fences, and walls into gorgeous displays and can hide minor imperfections.

Containers with large and small plants, featuring green leaves and flowering plants, can soften hard edges, decorate corners, and add beauty to empty walls and plain surfaces. Wisely paired floral arrangements are as crucial as choosing attractive planters in outdoor decor. Mixing spiky leaves with softly curved leaves balances floral arrangements. Succulents, edible herbs, tropical plants, small shrubs, perennials, and annual blooms offer myriad opportunities to add visual layers and interest to outdoor decor.
