Greenery is the only living element in a room. It softens harsh corners, connects indoor and outdoor spaces, and makes expensive materials appear less austere. Eichholtz planters feature brass, stainless steel, zinc, ceramic, and stone, in forms that can stand as objects even without a plant.
The Planter Matters More Than the Plant
An ordinary green plant in a beautiful planter looks better than a rare plant in a plastic pot. Therefore, it is worthwhile to focus on the planter. As a rule of thumb: The planter should account for about one-third of the total height; for a 1.50-meter-tall plant, this means around 50 centimeters. Planters that are too small make the plant look unstable, while those that are too large can overwhelm it.
Where Greenery Belongs
The empty corner that no furniture fills is the classic application. Placed next to a sofa or a console table, a tall plant breaks the straight lines of the furniture. In an entrance, it transforms a passageway into a room. Light is crucial: anything placed in a dark corner will wither, which is why artificial greenery is the more honest solution there.
Artificial Plants Without Compromise
Good artificial plants are recognized by three things: leaves of varying sizes, visible stems with slight irregularities, and a matte rather than glossy finish. They should be placed in a real planter, not the included plastic pot, and covered with soil, moss, or pebbles. This makes the difference invisible from two meters away. Dust them with a dry brush or on a low setting with a hairdryer.
Outdoors and in Commercial Spaces
On the terrace, planters serve as walls: arranged in a row, they structure a space and provide screening without closing it off. Combined with outdoor seating groups and outdoor accessories, they create an outdoor room. Frost-resistant materials and drainage holes are essential outdoors; in winter, planters that are not frost-resistant should be placed under cover. Learn more in the guide Eichholtz Outdoor.
