Why Pot Shape Matters in Interior Styling
Every pot shape creates a mood. In fact, interior designers use planters to pull the eye, guide spatial flow, or define a corner. Here’s what shape does:
- Tall pots, such as our Hamlet pot, or medium cylindrical pots, make plants appear taller and slimmer, making them ideal for narrow hallways, entrances, or beside windows.
- Round or soft-edged pots are often placed in areas where visual flow is important, such as under staircases or beside curved furniture.
- Low or wide pots, such as the Apollo Pot, are perfect for console tables, shelves, or minimalist apartments that favour low-line decor.
When you select the proper shape, you’re not just placing a pot; you’re framing the mood of the room.
Choosing the Right Size for Artificial Plants
For artificial plants, scale and proportion are everything. A pot that’s too big can overwhelm a plant. Too small, and it feels awkward.
- Small plants (under 80 cm) pair well with pots that are 20–30 cm in height. Great for desks, bedside tables, and powder rooms.
- Medium-height plants (100–140 cm) go best with cylindrical or tapered pots. They help keep the plant grounded and stable while maintaining an elegant appearance.
- Tall plants, such as the Areca Palm (210 cm), require tall, weighted pots like the Rotunda Pot or the Apollo series to maintain visual balance.
When shopping from Oriental Effect’s plant collection, you’ll notice that every pot recommendation considers both the visual scale and the practical weight balance of artificial greenery.
