Forget simple colour schemes and minimalist shapes – these novelty pots are designed to give your houseplants a quirky edge.
Looking to add some life to your interiors? Houseplants are the perfect way to add a beautiful point of difference to any room.
But to house your new plants, you also need the perfect plant pot, and thankfully, the options are endless. As houseplants have grown in popularity, so too have the variety of plant pots on offer. From classic ceramics and raised planters to cute animals and elegant faces, the days when pots were designed simply for functionality are long gone. Nowadays, it’s all about eccentric designs.
