Garden Houseplants Unique, Beautiful Planters That Will Enhance the Look of Any Houseplant By Hannah Baker Published on October 8, 2019 Share Tweet Pin Email Trending Videos Getty Images When it comes to decorating your home, few elements help bring texture and warmth into a space quite like plants do. In addition to the fact that they help purify the air and improve productivity, houseplants also breathe life into any corner of a room. Plus, they're extremely versatile décor elements. They can serve as a splashy statement, like in the form a five-foot olive tree, or a thoughtful detail, such as a collection of succulents on a window sill. And it's not just the plant itself that can enhance your décor: The pots they live in can help make any space a little more special. While there are a myriad of beautiful options out there, it's important that you spend a little time considering which pots will look cohesive with your plants and your room as a whole. While you may feel tempted to purchase the first vessel you see and love, you'll want to consider how it will look in your home. "We think of plants and planters as equal design elements, and like any design elements, some blend and some clash," says Tara Heibel, creative director of Sprout Home. "What you're looking for is a plant and pot combination that accentuates each other." If you have a plant with really dark leaves, you might want to try a lighter colored or white pot; doing so ensures the two pieces are able to better show off what the other has to offer. Furthermore, a beautiful planter can help to elevate and add sophistication to even the most commonplace of houseplants. Ready to repot your beloved houseplants? Here, we're sharing 12 unique planters we love that are available right now. 01 of 12 Modern Terra-Cotta Courtesy of Capra Designs This terra-cotta colored planter is aptly named Desert, so what better plant to accompany it than a cactus?
