Flower Container Ideas

Let the sweet scent of summer blossom outside your home by adding flower containers. Here are a few flower container inspirations from Boston Design Guide professionals to get you started:

Front Entry

The home's front entry is the first impression visitors get once they arrive. A well-maintained entryway with flower containers creates a welcoming atmosphere.

A pop of color, like the blue flower containers shown above, is a great way to revamp an entryway. The bright colors are cheerful and compliment the home’s color.

Coordinate the container and flowers to reflect your homes personality. This will make the atmosphere inviting and comfortable. Bright colored flowers with a decorative container always look nice together.

On a Stone Ledge

There’s no better way to enhance outdoor stonewalls than by adding flower containers. Flower containers add color and natural beauty to what is typically a grey colored wall.

Around the Pool

Flower containers around the pool are a wonderful way to create your own backyard oasis. Often it’s difficult to plant flowers in the ground around the pool because of the surrounding surfaces.

Add flower containers along the pool stairway if possible. Another idea is to stagger flower containers on each step of the stairs for a dramatic look.

Along all four corners of the pool is a popular look. This is a great way to dress up the poolside.
