Editorial Guidelines Published on April 9, 2024 02:03PM EDT Photo: Courtesy of Restoration / Wayfair / Home Depot Bringing home new plants is a simple way to add a splash of color and character to your house, porch, back patio, or deck, especially when those plants are potted in the perfect container. Think of your flower pots and planters in the same way you would as frames for your art—they can be simple and sleek, allowing what's inside to do the talking, or they can make a statement all on their own. Of course, you aren't limited to quiet or loud options. Flower pots come in so many shapes, sizes, materials, and colors—some with self-watering capabilities built right in, others with hidden drainage compartments. It's easy to walk into your local nursery or hardware store and grab a pot off the shelf, but the more decorative options—the ones that work well within the context of your specific décor or backyard aesthetic—are often a little harder to find. Still, they're worth seeking out; these pieces can bring serious visual intrigue to just about every part of your home, inside and out. To help you on your hunt, we've curated several of our current favorites that boast something unique, whether that be an interesting shape or an unusual color palette—or simply offer a beautiful design opportunity. 10 Patio Plants That Thrive in Pots and Containers 01 of 10 Guia Indoor/Outdoor Ceramic Cylinder Planter Courtesy of Home Depot This pretty indoor/outdoor ceramic flower pot has a slightly weathered look and a leaf motif wrapping around the sides.
