Our Picks
Monochrome tall pottery planters
Foundry Select
Have you already found the exact spot for your new tall ceramic planters?
If you’re placing them in a particularly busy area surrounded by patterned items or furniture pieces, then planters in a monochrome design would be the safest choice.
Statement tall ceramic planter
Dakota Fields
If, on the contrary, your new tall ceramic planters are next to neutral or monochrome items, you could seize the opportunity to introduce some more attention-grabbing colors, whether through a pattern or a design relying on several hues.
Tall glazed ceramic planters
Particularly popular in the Middle East and Europe, glazed ceramic is an elegant alternative that will immediately bestow a sophisticated feel on your tall planters.
It will also result in a brighter, eye-catching finish that will reflect any glint of the sun in a whimsical way.
Tall ceramic planter with wooden stand
Here’s a different take on the tall ceramic planter idea that’s been gaining more and more popularity over the past few years, especially thanks to minimalist and Scandinavian inspiration.
Instead of a taller piece, prop up an average-size pot with a wooden stand.
The result will be just as slender, and you’ll also get to match your other wood finishes.
Extra tall ceramic pot
Latitude Run®
Most tall ceramic planters tend to be between 16 and 24” in height. However, if you were planning on placing yours next to some even taller items (for example, your fireplace), don’t be afraid to go even bigger!
For example, a 3 foot tall ceramic planter would create a beautifully balanced result next to your front door.
Tall outdoor ceramic planters
Will you use your tall ceramic planter to further decorate your patio or garden?
Unless it’s in a sheltered spot, there’s something that you really can’t afford to forget about before choosing colors and designs: weather resistance, and especially UV protection.
Monochrome tall ceramic planters with a unique pattern
So far, we’ve looked at tall ceramic planters in a monochrome finish and a patterned or colorful style, but did you know that there’s also a creative compromise that you could experiment with?
Instead of being painted, some patterned pots rely on an uneven texture that creates slightly different levels and sections. This means that they’ll translate into hypnotizing tricks of shadow and light.
Set of tall ceramic pots
If you need more than one tall ceramic planter and you’re after a cohesive feel, save yourself some money by purchasing a set.
You don’t necessarily need to stick to the exact same pot. For example, some planters in the same style but different heights can be a conscious decorative choice, particularly when placed in decreasing order.
Contemporary tall ceramic plant pots
Your garden or patio can be the mirror of your contemporary interiors, and your new tall ceramic planters can actively reinforce it.
The trick is to stick to monochrome designs (even better if in neutral colors) and clean or symmetrical lines. This simple style will also help you maintain the actual plant in the spotlight.
Tall pottery planters with shelves
What if you need a home for a few more plants but haven’t got that much floor space left? In that case, some tall pottery planters can optimize it.
Instead of looking for one pot per plant, scout for layered designs with room for an additional one (or two) at the bottom.
