Decorate Your Outdoor Space With Mosaic Garden Planters

By Linda Hill


Any outdoor space can become special if you put a little effort in decorating it properly. Most people use different plastic or terracotta pots for their plants, but sometimes you can find much better solutions. Large pots, or containers, with several different plants put together, might create more interesting environment, and it is also easier to maintain them.

Large containers can be in different sizes and shapes. Plastic ones aren't so decorative, and plain terracotta containers aren't really interesting. But, there is something you will certainly appreciate, beautiful mosaic garden planters. They will provide one perfect frame for your luxuriously blooming flowers, and give a special look to your outdoor space.

Using the method of mosaic in decoration is really effective. This could be just a simple combination of a few basic earthy colors, different interesting motifs, or even really complicated designs, this is entirely up to you and your personal taste. Some prefer geometrical patterns, while others enjoy irregular combinations of colors and materials. It's up to your own taste.

Ancient motifs usually included nature mimicking and simple geometrical patterns. You can see similar motifs in ancient Greek and Roman interior decoration, leaves, simple repeating patterns in earthy colors and similar. On the other hand, this method can be used in picturing different scenes. In any case, boring old plant containers will never be the same.

The mosaic can be made using small pieces of stones, glass, ceramic tiles, or any other similar durable material. You can use perfect little squares or irregularly shaped pieces, it doesn't really matter, both can be used in achieving lovely results. People sometimes use some leftovers of ceramic tiles, simply broken into smaller pieces using a hammer, for example.

The beauty of this method is that you have almost no expenses to start with. All you need is a few old terracotta pots, a bunch of old ceramic tiles, and some glue that is used for ceramic tiles. Just use your imagination, and you might find something else to combine this material with. If you need something else, including inspiration, visit your nearest garden center. It's a pretty good place to find whatever you may need.

The fact is that most people simply have not enough time or will to make something like this. It doesn't mean that you cannot have similar planters on your terrace or patio. In your nearest garden center you will probably find beautiful containers made using the mosaic technique. If not, try online. Some suppliers offer really interesting decorative containers you will simply adore.

Well, your containers don't have to be in earthy shades, of course. There are so many possibilities. You can bring spring and summer into your garden using vivid colors, why not. Bright color combinations are just perfect solutions for some outdoor spaces, and you can achieve beautiful effects using them. Not to mention that you will enjoy spending time there. Give your creativity a chance and enjoy transforming your outdoor space.
