10 sweet new standing planters for every single decor style
Minimalist, mid-mod... or unicorn, we've got a planter for you!
Decor maven or not, we all know enough to realize that one can't simply plop a potted plant down in the plastic pot it comes in (right?). Thus begins the hunt for a planter. And guess what? There's so much more out there than typical terracotta (but there's that, too). Whether creating a jungalow at home or adding some curb (or balcony) appeal to your outdoor space, there's a planter or pot for and every style. No, really. Unicorn is on our list. Find your perfect planter below!
Trendy
You know that simple geometric patterns are one of 2017's hottest design trends and you want your plants to look just as chic as the rest of your home.
Unicorn
You were first in line to try the Starbucks unicorn frappucino. You have a pale pink (or teal or lavender) streak in your hair. Your home is tastefully but playfully decorated. This is the planter for you.
