Spruce Up Your Porch, Deck, or Balcony with These 8 Planters

If you’re looking to spruce up your outdoor space or patio and don’t have much of a green thumb, outdoor planters are an easy way to add some beauty without all the work. Planters come in tons of different styles and shapes, so you’re sure to find a few that will complement your porch, balcony, or deck perfectly.

Nothing can take a space from lifeless to lovely faster than flowers and/or some greenery. Just adding one oversized plant can give your stoop or porch a lush new look. No matter what or how much you want to grow, though, you’ll need something to plant them in. These stylish, versatile planters are perfect for any outdoor space.

Railing Flowerpot Set

These colorful flowerpots were made for lovers of all things cute and fun. The set of 10 gives you a whole rainbow to work with and way more décor options than an average railing planter.

You can display them all in a row on a fence or balcony rail, or split them up to add a splash of color in different places. Plus, the hook-shaped metal hangers mean no installation required: just plant, hang, and enjoy.

Hanging Planter Set

For a more traditional look, you can’t go wrong with these classic metal hanging planters. The durable, powder-coated iron frame won’t rust or crack, while the natural coconut fiber liner helps keep plants secure and hydrated.

These large, durable planters will look stunning hanging in a row or paired on either side of a door.

Square Planters

For a more dramatic look, try these large square planters. They offer classic New England style and are made of tough plastic to withstand the elements—but they don’t look like plastic at all!

The design includes a built-in hydrating water reservoir, so your plants won’t need much attention from you. With this style, you can turn just one or two plants into a striking outdoor display.

Weather-Resistant Planter Set

While all of the planters on this list are for outdoor use, you’ll want something specifically designed for weather resistance if you live somewhere with harsh temperatures.

Made of plastic and natural stone powder, these round planters can stand up to both extreme cold and heat. They won’t fade, peel, or crack, and you won’t have to move them inside when the weather gets wild. They’re still light enough to move easily if you feel like rearranging them, though.

Mini Planter Set

There’s just something irresistible about tiny things—especially cute little plants in adorable planters. If you thought tiny plants were only for indoor spaces, think again!

These fun mini planters are made of concrete and durable enough to use outside. The neutral-metallic colors are modern and chic and they come in a set of three. They’ll look perfect clustered on a patio table or growing a tiny outdoor herb garden.

Metal Planter Set

If you like a more rustic design, these metal planters might be just your style. They have a weathered finish for that antique, farmhouse vibe, while the tall bases add a slightly modern twist.

This set of two large planters will give your outside space a fresh look with minimal effort. Plus, if you’re not into gray metal, they also come in bronze, red, or white.

Stoneware Planter

For a different take on a rustic style, try stoneware. These planters have an ombré finish with an earthy, textured design that creates a handmade look. The rusty coral color is a great neutral choice, but you can also get the planter in trendy metallic silver or bronze.

You can choose from a few different sizes as well, so this is a great option if you want to group some different plants in matching planters.

Terracotta Planter

Terracotta might be the most timeless planter style of all. This lovely take on a classic by August Grove features a hand-pressed bouquet and hummingbird design. For a more modern, shabby-chic look, you can also get it in distressed white.

It’s durable enough for outdoor use, although you’ll want to store it in a garage or shed during winter to protect it from the elements and freezing temperatures. This unique, but classic style will instantly upgrade your favorite outdoor hangout.
