Planters: 10 perfect models for small terraces


AT House, Cenit Arquitectos Cenit Arquitectos Garage in modern style

Sunny days are still ahead of us. We still have time to get our terrace or garden ready. To enjoy it fully, we can use one of the most useful items: planters. Similar to vases, but larger, planters have turned into one of the most effective and pretty ways, in terms of looks, to enhance outdoor areas.

The first thing we need to consider is that there are two kinds: ready-made ones and custom ones. The second type is the most convenient since we can move them to any spot in the house. For outdoor areas, it is better to concentrate on built-in ones, as they are much stronger and can hold any kind of plant and tree. Planters reflect the style and character of our outdoor areas. And the saying holds true: there is nothing sadder than a garden without blooms.

Option 1: One-sided planter

A small garden can be narrow or long. In these cases, this form practically limits its use. The only way out is to take advantage of the narrow wall and its length to arrange a battery of planters along its distribution. They will be a little narrower, but also longer. The problem of adaptation.

Option 2: Wall planters

When it comes to making the most of small spaces, even walls are our allies, just place a structure with your own hands that is faithfully set in the walls and capable of hosting a good number of plants. Once this is done, we will only need to pay attention to the type of vegetation we plant and the maintenance of the walls. Remember that the plants accumulate a lot of humidity which can damage the walls if they are not given the right attention.

Option 3: Smart designs

Placing planters on the garden plot seems a bit risky, especially when the last thing you want is to reduce the space and create obstacles in the transit area. But there is nothing that a brilliant idea cannot save, so if you have already decided that the earth will be where your planters are and also in the central part of it, turn to a way that allows you to use it further; For example, you design a path with your planters so you can walk along it in complete comfort while enjoying your plants.

Option 4: mix between planters and vases

When the space that makes up a garden is very small, the corners cannot be forgotten. They are the ideal place for planters. Its angular shape allows you to create simple models that do not take up much space, rectangles, squares and even triangles facilitate the union between one wall and another. As for the fusion of the planters with the pots, the greenery that the planters shelter highlights the presence of the vegetation without destroying the space for the planters.

Option 5: In good vibes

When the corners of a decorative element, in this case the planters, are clear, the fact that the respective element ends at that point is accentuated. On the contrary, if the corners become curved, the division softens and a much more homogeneous environment is visually obtained.

Option 6: If there is no concrete floor, turn it into a planter

So that other volumes do not absorb the few dimensions you have in your garden, choose to create or, better yet, define your planters as those outdoor spaces that you have not covered with a specific soil. Then you will have to plant only those plants that you want to accompany you during outdoor breaks.

Option 7: High level planters

What do you think of the idea of ​​playing with different levels of the pitch? When you don’t have much space, the gesture of creating a sort of shelf allows you to accommodate many more elements than you thought could converge. For this reason, since we have in mind the insertion of plants via planters, nothing prevents us from creating levels with them on one of the sides to occupy a single area intended for vegetation.

Option 8: Planters around the perimeter

If you already know in advance that inserting planters into your garden will significantly reduce the space that comprises it, it is better to do it uniformly, that is, without destroying the dimensions of any of the ends, better to reduce them equally on all sides. This way you will ensure that the decline is not appreciated and you will highlight the space available in your garden.

Option 9: U-shaped planters

This idea, similar to the previous one, is based on the installation of planters on almost all sides of the terrace, with the exception of the entrance to a rest area, which will be sheltered and protected from the rest of the sides, creating a front access or security opening. The embrace of nature is always very welcoming.

Option 10: Planters with style

And we end with an idea of ​​the height at which the planters are placed on top of the walls that delimit your garden, so consider that the wider these divisions are, the easier it will be to insert a certain type of vegetation into them.
