Half the fun of indoor gardening is deciding what pot to grow your plants in! With all the different colors, shapes, sizes, and designs out there—there’s a whole array of creativity to explore. Read this blog to learn which styles of pottery best complement your interior design aesthetic and how to style them!
Matte Black Modern
Bring home some minimalist modern style with a matte black pot to pair with your colorful houseplants. For those who enjoy a more monochromatic look, a black foliaged plant like the ‘Raven’ ZZ plant or a Burgundy Ficus decora would also look especially daring.
Contrast with Colors
One of the best things about pottery is that small accents like these can completely transform a room. The best complementary color for your pottery is one that contrasts with the main color of the room, either on the walls, decorative accents, or furniture. With some purple or pink pottery, you can add a whole new splash of color to a blue or green room. Pastel-colored pottery adds a touch of delicacy if you aren’t looking for something too bold.
Animal-Faced Planters
It’s hard to resist the adorably cute appeal of animal-faced pottery planters inside your home. If you want to really seal the deal, you can even get one that looks exactly like your cat or dog! Animal-faced planters are great for adding a whimsical child-like feel to spaces of your home and can make for quite a cute decoration for children’s nurseries.
Holiday-Themed Pottery
Holiday decorating with houseplants doesn’t just stop at Christmas trees and wreaths made out of live greenery. ‘Tis the season inside the home with some holiday-themed pottery and ceramics! Designs resembling Santa Claus’ ever-so-round body, the face of Rudolph, and more.
Geometric Vibes
This pot decor idea makes an excellent home for your houseplants. Lines can create positive direction or a sense of movement and texture in design, which is why it’s so favored in pottery aesthetics. Dating all the way back to Ancient Greece, geometric pottery is a trend that seems to never go out of style. Use different lined-pattern pots to create a really great look when displaying smaller houseplants, such as potted succulents and mini cacti.
Hand-Painted Pottery
Are you someone who likes to add their personal touch to the decor in their home? Well, look no further! Pottery gives you the perfect opportunity to do so. It’s also an awesome way to spend time with your kids and get them into gardening. Here’s how to paint your own ceramic pottery right from the comfort of your own home:
Instructions:
- To clean your pottery, gently scrub to remove any dust and debris.
- Use a wide, flat brush to paint large areas in one solid base color.
- Use smaller brushes to paint accents and designs over the base color.
- Ensure the paint completely dries by letting it sit out for a few hours.
- Use a clear glaze to coat your design for protection.
