A beautiful planter full of colourful flowers is a great addition to any outdoor space. However, when it comes to choosing the right planter and flowers to create a beautiful display it easy to get confused about colour schemes. In this article, you will find some tips on different colours that you might want to combine to create a wow factor for your outdoor space.
Neutral and Beautiful
Have you ever heard the say 'less is more'? It is especially true when it comes to creating a calming, soothing effect for your outdoor space. Nowadays, you can find interesting, modern white planters for sale that can be combined with a range of flowers with little effort. When looking for white planters for sale you may want to consider a model with a self-watering system to make your plant watering chore easy and convenient.
When it comes to the best flowers to combine with a white planter, think clouds of creamy rose petals, pretty white Aster daisies and trailing mountain rock cress. To complement the subtle effect use pale feathery grasses.
Modern Metallics
If contemporary is your style and you appreciate the steel and high gloss finishes, you may want to consider a steel and zinc outdoor planter to achieve a modern look. Look for modern squared-off or elegantly tall shapes and combine them with leafy, architectural plants such as Fatsia japonica and cordyline, and boldly coloured flowers like purple iris and red hot pokers.
Vintage Chic
There are some colours that décor experts usually associate with the popular mid-century modern trend like rose pink, shades of cream and duck egg blue. Consider these colours when choosing planters to create an eclectic look. For flowers, go with pretty, cottage garden style flowers in natural shades.
Bold and Bright
Lately, new planter designs in bold and bright colours have appeared in the market, greatly increasing the choices of plant pots. Because it can be easy to get carried away with the range of colours, try to limit yourself to three or four colours to create a powerful visual impact. Think of shades of rich purples and blues with a dash of hot pink or citrus oranges and yellows mixed with petrol blue.
When planting plants in your pots, be careful not to over-plant. Like all other living things plants also need space and air to grow. So, make sure you leave enough space between the plants to give them room to flourish.
