Wrought Iron Plant Holders For Decorating

By Bonnie Contreras


Wrought iron plant holders are timeless; they never go out of style. A vast assortment of styles and sizes are available to complement any interior design, outdoor entertainment area, lawn or garden. Choosing the right planters and stands will enhance the natural beauty of potted plants, garden areas and landscaping. Plant holders made of wrought iron are the perfect way to display prized flowers and foliage.

Historical evidence reveals that ironwork began over 5000 years ago. Through time, many products including weapons, gates, shackles, wheels, furniture and more were manually produced by ironworkers. Using one process or another, according to the time period, the ore was heated and worked into different shapes and forms. The process of ironworking is time consuming and labor intensive.

Many years ago, the products were very heavy due to purity. Today, most items contain a notable percentage of other materials. The modern material is sometimes called mild-steel. Most holders for plants and other products now being sold are made of cast-iron or mild-steel. Both metals have an old- fashioned, authentic appearance and are quite durable.

Vases, urns, flower pots, shelves and ironworks of all kinds are available to coordinate with almost every interior design. Small and large vases, stunning centerpieces, spiral and tiered stands, and wall mounted and free-standing planters are a few of the decorative ironwork options that can improve the overall appearance of the room. They add texture and strength to any decorating style and can be used throughout the house. They provide eye-catching accents at the office, as well.

Mild-steel or cast-iron are versatile options for interior design. Styles and designs range from rustic to elegant. Some are plain and simple, while others are beautifully ornate with elaborate scrolling and molding. Decorating choices vary for lakeside cabins, classy condos, trendy apartments, fine hotels, train stations, suburban malls, offices and homes of all kinds.

Outdoor areas are perfect for ironwork planters, accessories and accents. The appearance of front and back porches, balconies, window sills, patios, screened rooms, flower gardens and other lawn areas can be greatly enhanced by displaying these decorative items. They are attractive and durable for many years of continued use and enjoyment.

Tiered stands, ornate flower pots and ornamental vases complement outdoor furnishings. Properly displayed greenery will add color, texture and warmth to outdoor entertainment areas. Placing vines, succulents, ferns, flowers and other potted plants appropriately will make the area seem more comfortable and inviting to guests. Most ironwork planters and accessories are weather resistant allowing for endless outdoor decorating options. Usually, they can be easily cleaned or painted.

Wrought iron plant holders can be found at many local retailers. Super discount stores, home improvement stores, farm and garden stores, hardware stores and department stores usually have a wide assortment of styles and sizes in stock. Savvy shoppers can look online to find products to suit personal decorative preferences. Whether shopping locally or on the internet, it is important to find out about warranties, return policies, and shipping costs before buying.
