With architectural planters, you can avoid settling for anything less than the most eye-catching and unique additions to your indoor and outdoor spaces.
When you think of a planter, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? If you’re like most people, the word probably conjures up images of boring boxes that hold soil and plants. After all, what’s remarkable about planters?
But that couldn’t be farther from the truth. Your planters don’t have to be boring and uncreative. On the contrary, choosing architectural planters can add a unique and eye-catching edge to any indoor or outdoor space.

What is an Architectural Planter?
If you’ve never heard the term ‘architectural planter’ before, you’re probably asking yourself what exactly it is.
While the term sounds complex, the definition is simple: an architectural planter is simply a planter that has a unique design, is made with high-quality materials, and commands a stronger and more impressive presence than the traditional planter archetype.
And architectural planters come in a wide array of shapes and sizes to meet a variety of purposes and offer unique benefits to any space you place them in.
Add a Modern Design and Save Space with Rectangular Planters
If you’re looking for a sleek, stylish, and understated architectural planter that’s as much purpose-driven as it is visually appealing, you might want to opt for a rectangular shape.
With rectangular planters, you can maximize space efficiency because of their geometrical shaping. They offer a space-saving profile that lets you maximize your square footage without sacrificing on style, and they can even be grouped together.

Round, Bowl-Shaped Planters Add Style to Open Spaces
When you’re more interested in style rather than space efficiency, round, bowl-shaped planters act as incredible statement pieces for every kind of indoor or outdoor space.
From tall and slim to short and wide and everything in between, round planters offer a soft aesthetic and a modern design. They’re also available in a ton of different textures and materials, making them dynamic enough to fit any project.
Elevate Outdoor Spaces With Aluminum Planters
Durability and style aren’t mutually exclusive. At least they don’t have to be. And aluminum planters are here to prove it.
High-quality materials are an earmark feature of architectural planters, and these ones fit the bill. Made with marine-grade aluminum, these planters are alloyed for strength and resistance to corrosion — even when in contact with seawater.
So, when you want great-looking, sleek, modern planters that will withstand the elements, this is the right choice. In addition to their durability, they can also be powder-coated and cured in a range of colors.
Add an Avant-Garde Flair With Irregular Planter Shapes
Irregular shaping and elevated design features epitomize the idea of architectural planters. So, incorporating uniquely shaped planters can add an avant-garde flair to your space that turns heads and makes people take a second look.
One thing is for sure: when you want to create a space that looks and feels unlike any other, adding outside-the-box features is a great way to do it.
Stand Out From the Crowd With Fiberglass Planters
There’s no doubt about it: fiberglass is an unbelievably versatile material. That’s why fiberglass planters are your best option for eye-catching architectural planters in a vaster range of shapes of any other material. They’re also available in a ton of different colors and finishes, including matte, glossy, and faux stone or wood.
So, if you want your architectural planters to stand out from the crowd, you can’t go wrong by going with fiberglass.
On top of that, this material is extremely lightweight and versatile, meaning it can handle the elements and withstand the tests of time.

Add a Unique Look to the Outdoors With COR-TEN Planters
Not all architectural planters are created equal: some are built specifically for the outdoors, like COR-TEN planters. COR-TEN planters also happen to be unique and beautiful enough to turn heads.
With COR-TEN Weathering Steel Planters, you can add a distinctive touch to any outdoor space.
This naturally oxidized steel alloy is highly sought after for outdoor projects due to its unique look and weather resistance. It’s designed to resist corrosion with a protective patina that forms on the surface. This stable rust-like appearance makes them a stylish option for enduring moisture and the elements without losing their strength.
These planters also evolve over time, starting out with a look of raw metal which begins to patina over time.
They’ll make for an eye-catching addition to your outdoor area.
