Using Our Timber Tough Planters to Revamp Your Outdoor Space
It’s officially Spring, which means now is the perfect time to freshen up your outdoor space! Whether that be the front of your house, your cottage, or your backyard, one of the easiest ways to add some personality to an outdoor space is to use planter boxes to work in some greenery. Planter boxes can be used to grow your own herbs, vegetables, or to showcase your favourite outdoor plants and flowers making them a great way to add a splash of colour to any space! In this blog we’ll talk about ideas and ways that you can use planter boxes to achieve a great end result.
The first use we’ll talk about will be to add some much needed colour and style to the front of your home. Do you find your front yard or your home entrance lacking in curb appeal? One of the best ways to fix that is to add one or multiple planter boxes to accent your front entrance. Depending on the space you have on your front porch, or near your entrance stairs, you can play around with location to see where your planters would look best. You can use these planters to introduce some fun and fresh colours to your home exterior which will allow you to spice up your current layout. Tip: Depending on what you’re planting, you may need to make sure the spot you pick receives at least 8 hours of sun. Do some research on the plants you’re looking to use, and pick a planter box location accordingly!
The next use we’ll talk about is adding some flair to your backyard fence or deck. Does your backyard not have the appeal you’d like it to have? Do you look at your deck and wonder what you can do to add to your lack of décor? Once again one of the easiest ways to add style to your exterior space is by adding some aesthetically pleasing planters. You can put multiple planters lining your deck to make your backyard feel like an at home oasis, or you can use one or two to add that splash of greenery you’re looking for. Another way to use planters is to take them off the deck and line your fence with them spaced out evenly, creating a colourful garden. Tip: If you’ve always wanted to set up a backyard garden, planter boxes can help you do that without all the hassle. Just set up your planter boxes, plant your favourite flowers, and watch as they grow!
The last way to use planter boxes that we’ll mention in this blog is to use them to accentuate windows. You can either find a style that hangs directly from your window, or simply use a larger style to display underneath. Either way, adding splashes of colour to your windows can make all the difference when talking about your outdoor décor. If you’re opting for a larger style, try using plants that grow taller to account for the space between your planter and the window. Tip: One of the most versatile things about using planter boxes is that you can change the flowers or plants whenever you want depending on the season. The possibilities for planters are endless, so have some fun with it!
