Placing containers solely on the floor will mean quickly running out of space. Instead, use shelves, windowsills, and furniture to expand your container garden design. Macrame and hanging basket planters are a couple of other great ways to fit as many plants into your home as possible.

If you’re not a big fan of plain terra cotta pots, invest in planter covers that match the rest of your home decor. You can also mix-and-match containers of varying sizes, shapes, and colors for a boho-inspired aesthetic.

7. Patio Container Garden Ideas

If your patio serves as an outdoor living or dining room, arrange your potted plant collection just like you would indoors. Use large containers to fill out corners and frame furniture pieces. Place an echeveria or similar succulent in a small clay pot on your small patio table as a centerpiece.

You can line patio edges with traditional clay pots or build custom planter boxes to act as a border. Plant small hedge-like plants like boxwood to divide your outdoor patio space from the rest of your lawn.

With a big enough planter, you can even grow ornamental shrubs and trees on your patio. Citrus trees, eucalyptus, hibiscus, and palms are perfect for a tropical look. For an old English garden, sprinkle rose and hydrangea bushes around your patio.

Plants have been used as living artwork throughout much of human history. The art of topiary pruning dates back to the Roman Empire, if not further. So it’s pretty impressive to see these trends hold strong even in today’s landscaping.
