How to Decorate with Containers and Planters
Like any decorative assessories, containers and planters are great items to use to bring out a focal point, and fill up an empty space. Larger containers can be placed at an empty corner of the floor in a group, smaller tabletop container can be used on a coffee tabletop or shelves to give an elegant feel to the room. Containers can be used on their own or filled with plants or floral arrangments. Some containers are used even for other purposes such as to keep away any knick-knacks on the table, or to store walking sticks and umbrellas.
Containers used with plants, either life or artificial, will surely make a grand impact on any interior decoration.
How to Decorate with Potted Plants and Trees
Like greenery, potted plants and trees are completely versatile in any interior décor. They can be used to decorate what would otherwise be bare, unusable corners, or to serve as "buffers" by subtly directing traffic between rooms or closing off an interior space. Plants on stands can range from a few feet to six or seven feet in height, giving the consumer a wide range of areas for placement of these impressive plantings.
Trees and plants are often used to reinforce a particular theme in a grand way. Some examples include:
• Green ficus trees are used basically in transitional settings, whereas red ficus trees are more suited to traditional styles and color schemes
• Mango or banana trees can be used to accent a tropical décor
• Bonsai or ming trees reflect an Oriental theme
• Cactus portrays a Southwestern theme
• Palms are generally transitional, but if planted in urns or brass containers, palms can be used in more traditional settings. For a contemporary look, palms may be planted in rustic stoneware or Florentine porcelain.
Therefore careful selection for your containers and planters is very important as in selecting any piece of furniture in your interior décor.
