Your home’s interior style is a reflection of you, and your choice of pots and plants is a great way to express yourself. From a monochrome palette to a jungle of palms in vintage-inspired planters, container gardening is a cost-effective way to make a statement and let your personal style shine through.
Horticulturist and Northcote Pottery ambassador Melissa King is sharing how Northcote Pottery can help you to refresh your interiors with stylish, on-trend pots that are also practical, affordable and durable.
White is a timeless colour palette, the visual equivalent of a calm breath. Use it in a neutral room or select accents from Northcote Pottery’s White Collection enhance the natural beauty of your plants. Add subtle interest by choosing similar shades with textured finishes, and pair them with plants with striking foliage shapes, or variegated varieties with more than one colour.
Just as the little black dress is an enduring fashion staple, black pots are an elegant choice that never go out of style. Use black pots as a home for eye-catching plants – a dark pot makes striking foliage the star. “Add pops of colour by using plants with pink foliage,” suggests Melissa. “These are currently trending and readily available.”
Tip: Try Northcote Pottery’s Lex pedestal pot with its unique, soft-touch finish.
A coastal interior gives the relaxed vibes of a summer all year round, and strategically chosen pots can convey that sun-and-surf mood. Go for shades of nautical navy contrasted with matt white. Plant up with trailing succulents that will tumble from high shelves. Keep the look light and overcrowd the space with plants. Melissa suggests sticking to the rule of three and grouping Northcote Pottery’s Odessa, and Melody pots in asymmetrical positions for an eye-catching display.
Biophilia is the practice of bringing the living environment inside look that makes us feel calm and connected to nature. To capture this look, use pots such as Northcote Pottery’s collections in natural tones or textured finishes that replicate real stone. With this palette, you can mix and match pots in varied colours, and textures to create an interesting, organic display.
Soft and subtle pink is a new neutral – pair it with a warm shade of brick for a nostalgic palette that evokes the past. Combining Northcote Pottery’s blush-coloured pots creates a look that is warm and playful, easy to work into any style of interior. Double down on the nostalgic vibe by planting favourites from yesteryear, suggests Melissa. “Use lush ferns you might remember from your childhood,” she says.
Northcote Pottery’s Paloma Egg Pots come in various sizes, making it easy for you to upgrade your growing plant to the next pot size, or to welcome larger indoor plants into your space. Their clean and chic design elevates the look of your greenery.
Take care when selecting your plants as some can be harmful to children and pets.
