Planter guide
Artful Outdoor Planting
Planters are becoming architectural elements in their own right. Generous forms, expressive glazes and layered planting bring colour, height and a crafted focal point to terraces and poolside spaces.
Planters as architecture, not accessories
A generously scaled planter holds its own visually, giving a terrace or poolside a crafted focal point rather than disappearing into the background.
Expressive glazes add colour year-round
A bold glazed finish brings colour to a space even between planting seasons, so the pot itself does visual work, not just the plant inside it.
Layer planting for height and depth
Combining different plant heights within and across planters creates a layered look that reads as considered rather than incidental.
Putting it into practice
Choose one generously sized, boldly glazed planter as the anchor for a terrace or poolside corner, then layer in plants of varying height so the grouping reads as a considered composition rather than a single accent.
Frequently asked
Should a planter match the plant, or stand out on its own?+
It can do both — an expressive glaze means the planter itself provides colour and presence even before anything is planted in it.
What makes outdoor planting look 'layered' rather than random?+
Varying the height of the plants within and across a grouping of planters, rather than using uniform heights throughout.
