Want to make a boring solid colour planter interesting? Pick up a marker pen, give it a face (draw eyes, nose, lips) and voila! A drab object becomes a planter with personality. I love collecting faces and animal planters, and my daughter loves naming them. Here’s a list of planters with personality you can quirk up your space with.
Adore Planters From Chumbak? These Ones Will Make You Smile Just As Big
Cute Elephants
The cutest home for small blooms, this pair of ceramic elephant planters from Bageechawala is too adorable to resist. Place it on your bookshelf. Use it as bookends or put it atop a stack of paperbacks to add a cute and whimsical element to your reading space.
Uncle Crabby
Let’s call him Uncle Crabby. Mostly because of that expression but his hair can be a lot of fun. I would go with a ZZ plant. It’s bulbous and grows gracefully, the kind of hair Uncle Crabby would prefer. Jokes aside, this beautiful work of art by Harla would add a lot of character to your living space.
Lovers Tiff
Bageechawala has the most fun planters! What do you make of the expressions on these terracotta couple face planters? A great conversation starter, don’t you think! This will make for an interesting addition to your bedroom space. Bring on the ‘that's how the fight started’ jokes already.
Little Grim
Wouldn’t this little guy look great with a succulent plant growing out the top like his hair? I think his zen-like face needs a plant like that. Made out of concrete from Yours Concretely is great for both outdoor as well as indoor use. I suggest you place it on your windowsill. Since it’s heavy there is no chance of strong winds knocking it over.
Bubo Owl
If you love planters with personality, you probably own an owl shaped planter. Guilty, right? This Bubo Owl planter in concrete from Elemental By Nanya is quite quirky. Love this shade of blue. Place it wherever you please, it is sure to make that space in your house stand out.
Grey Dove
Bird is a popular choice when it comes to animal shaped planters. That said, this dove-shaped metal table-top planter by 1 BHK Interiors is an absolute wonder. The design is eclectic and neat. Dark grey colour adds to its uniqueness. Perfect table accessory for a minimalistic living space.
Arty Face
Something tells me that your plants will take a serious liking to this terracotta pot. Line art face drawings are always very intriguing. This terracotta plant from Earth Heart comes in three colours - red, black and turquoise. I can already picture this piece in the corner of an artist's studio.
