Five ways to use a statement planter indoors

Planters aren’t just for the garden. A beautiful, well-placed indoor planter can completely transform a space, adding colour, height, texture and a sense of calm. Whether you’re dressing a shelf or filling an empty corner, a statement planter brings both function and flair to your interiors.

Here are five easy ways to style one indoors to complement your home.

Brighten up a forgotten corner

Got a lonely nook or a bit of dead space in your living room? A large planter with a tall, sculptural plant (think fiddle leaf fig or kentia palm) can make that spot feel intentional and inviting. You could use a matte planter with neutral tones to keep things grounded, or go bold with something textured or colourful to draw the eye.

You could place your planter near a mirror or lamp to bounce light and create a more open feel.

Create a bathroom spa vibe

Bathrooms often lack greenery, but they’re the perfect place for moisture-loving plants like ferns, peace lilies or even trailing pothos. A small or medium planter on a stool, shelf or windowsill can soften a tiled space and bring a calming, natural element to your routine.

Style your shelfie

Planters aren’t just for floors. Smaller statement planters can add height and interest to bookshelves, sideboards or open kitchen shelving. To take it a step further, you could even look into creating an internal living wall - a bold and beautiful way to really bring the outdoors in.

Dining table centrepiece

Move over, flowers. A low-profile indoor planter with herbs, succulents or sculptural greenery makes a beautiful and low-maintenance centrepiece that lasts. It’s unexpected, elegant, and ideal for long tables or kitchen islands. You could add scented herbs like rosemary or thyme for a subtle fragrance boost.

Bring nature into the bedroom

Plants in the bedroom you say? Absolutely. They help purify the air and add a peaceful presence. Place a medium-sized planter next to the bed, on a dresser, or in an unused fireplace. Calming greens like snake plants or rubber plants are stylish and low-maintenance options that thrive in low light.

A statement planter is more than just a container: it’s an invitation to slow down, to connect with nature and to style your home in a way that feels good. Whether you're a seasoned plant parent or just starting out, Bluum’s carefully curated collection offers pieces that are made to be seen and loved.
