Beautiful And Decorative 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.

If you want to put it all on even higher level, there are some other interesting things you might do. For example, you don't have to use boring plain pots, you can decorate your outdoor space with beautiful mosaic garden planters instead. They look really attractive and bring something special in your garden or any other space you want to decorate with luxurious plants. These plants will look even better in appropriate containers.

Mosaic is probably the best method for decorating terracotta pots, especially large ones. There are different patterns you can use for this purpose, as well as different combinations of colors. All possible shades of grey and brown, or so called earthy and stone colors, are always appropriate solutions for this type of decoration. Small fragments of stones and ceramics are often used, but other durable materials are also welcome.

Ancient motifs are something you simply cannot make a mistake with. Geometrical patterns or mimicking nature, for example, leaves and flowers, is also always a very good idea. Old Greek or Roman motifs are quite popular for this purpose. In any case, this decorating technique successfully transforms plain and boring terracotta containers and makes a great difference.

The mosaic can be made using small pieces of stones, glass, ceramic tiles, or any other similar durable material. You can use perfect little squares or irregularly shaped pieces, it doesn't really matter, both can be used in achieving lovely results. People sometimes use some leftovers of ceramic tiles, simply broken into smaller pieces using a hammer, for example.

Really, if you keep some tiles in your garage, all you need is a package of ceramic tiles glue, a few old terracotta pots and a hammer, and your mosaic adventure may begin. Your boring old terracotta planters will never be the same again, and your outdoor space will be transformed into something to be proud of. You'll be surprised how little effort it really takes to do that. And how satisfying the results are.

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.

When it comes to colors, there are no particular rules to follow. Earthy and stone colors are always popular choices, in any possible shade. On the other hand, vivid colors may bring more life onto a small balcony, even in those periods of year when there are no blooming plants there. The choice is yours, and combining lovely planters with luxuriously blooming plants, you just cannot make a mistake.
