Planters for dividing and decorating

When you have a large outdoor space, or you want to create more intimate areas in a garden or terrace, planters become architectural elements in their own right. The idea is to use models like Kado by Pedrali , characterized by large volumes and bold lines, capable of lending structure and order to the space.

In large outdoor spaces, planters can be used as effective elements to organize the available space. If the goal is to create a visual separation between different areas, such as the dining area and the lounge area, using large-volume pots allows for a defined and orderly structure without requiring permanent wall modifications. In this case, it is recommended to use varieties with dense foliage and a vertical or hedge-like growth pattern.

Tip: For an architectural effect, choose textured finishes that match the flooring; if you're looking for a dynamic contrast, alternate vases of different heights to draw the eye, making the space feel deeper and more interesting.

Inside the home: solutions to enhance spaces

The vase is the protagonist

In many cases, a vase is more than just a container for plants, but a true collector's item. Sculptural, colorful, and sometimes humorous, it asserts itself within the space as a standalone decorative element, capable of capturing the eye even on its own. Sculptural vases work particularly well in contemporary or minimalist spaces, where each object contributes to the visual narrative. Designed for entryways, bookcases, or empty corners of the living room, they can assert themselves as true pieces of domestic art: such is the case with the Bubble Vase by Polspotten , which draws inspiration from the pattern of bubble wrap to create an object that cannot go unnoticed. Seletti's Love in Bloom , a faithful reproduction of the natural shape of the human heart, and Ferm Living's Shell Vase , with its delicate marine appeal, also demonstrate how a vase can be chosen more for its eccentric design than its function.

Tip: Use them even empty, alone or in small groups on a console table or shelf, to strengthen their visual impact.

Minimal lines

Tip: Choosing natural materials or exquisite ceramics requires a little extra care to preserve the integrity of the design over time. Many of these solutions, due to their porosity or artisanal workmanship, are not designed for prolonged contact with water. The secret to keeping the vase impeccable is to use it as a "pot cover": simply place the plant in a technical container with a saucer or, for an even more invisible and practical solution, line the inside with a plastic bag before placing the flowers. This simple trick prevents moisture stains and stagnant water, ensuring optimal protection for the material and preserving the beauty of the design piece.
