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.

Mosaic is one really interesting and highly appealing decorative technique. Although some basic earthy and stone colors are usually used for it, there are no special rules for this, and any color combination will do. Simple patterns are effective as well, although they can be sophisticated and complicated as well. It depends on your personal taste, just give it a chance, you will just love it.

Some of the most popular motifs are those inspired by ancient arts. For example, ancient Greeks and Romans often used this particular technique for decorating their floors, walls or vases. The motif of leaves is especially interesting, and any of these lovely motifs may transform your old, unattractive planter into something you will be proud of.

Mosaic technique mostly uses small, rectangular pieces of stones or ceramics. But, interesting effects can be achieved using irregularly shaped pieces of any durable material, for example, glass. You could also combine different materials. Or, simply take a hammer and some leftover ceramic tiles you keep in your garage, and give it a try.

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.
