Planters for Interior Designers
Posted by Jason Wyrwicz on Jun 6th 2025
Planters are more than containers - they’re tools that help you shape a space without knocking down a single wall. The right planter can guide foot traffic, soften a hard corner, or give a splash of color right where it’s needed. Whether you’re designing a boutique hotel lobby, a modern office, or a relaxed retail space, interior planters let you make big visual changes with very little fuss.
At Pots, Planters & More, our fiberglass designs are made to give you total creative freedom. They’re feather-light, durable, and endlessly customizable in size and finish. Additionally, self-watering inserts and adjustable feet mean they’re just as practical as they are beautiful.

How to Use Interior Commercial Planters
Make an Entrance in Lobby & Reception Zones
The entryway sets the tone for everything that follows. Planters can help define how people move through the space and make first impressions count.
- You can direct traffic naturally without barriers. A simple row of planters will help guide people through the space in an intuitive way - no signs or stanchions needed.
- You can hide cords and tech behind something more elegant. Instead of leaving wires, routers, or outlets exposed, use planters to keep things tidy with adding greenery.
- You can frame desks or entry points for a welcoming, tidy look. Planters will define key areas and bring structure without adding bulky furniture or visual clutter.
Our best planter picks:
- Tall tapered planters
- Slim troughs behind seating
Add Comfort to Living Rooms & Lounge Areas
Lounge areas and living rooms benefit from greenery that invites people to slow down and settle in. Plants soften the space and encourage guests to linger a little longer in a more relaxed atmosphere.
- You can create cozy clusters for conversation. Planters placed between seats will break up open areas and give each guest a sense of personal space
- You can use tall or trailing plants to soften walls and improve sound. Vertical greenery will add height and texture while reducing noise and echo in busy branches.
- You can reinforce your color scheme with natural textures. Planters in warm, earthy tones or matte finishes will tie into your décor and soften the overall aesthetic.
Our best planter picks:
- Broad round bowls
- Nested clusters
- Self-watering cubes

Define Space in Workplaces & Retail Interiors
Open layouts are great for flexibility, but they need a clear structure. Our interior design planters can divide, direct, and visually balance your space.
- You can create soft room dividers without blocking light. Planters can help define zones for different tasks or teams, while keeping the space open and airy.
- You can build product displays with plants for depth. Greenery will draw the eye and add richness to retail setups, making them feel less sterile and more engaging.
- You can match planter finishes with brand colors for a polished look. A consistent color palette will make your space feel intentional and upscale.
Our best planter picks:
- Partition planters on casters
- Logo-ready cubes
Bring Style to Restaurants, Bars & Hospitality Suites
In busy hospitality settings, modern interior planters help manage flow, add warmth, and keep utility zones out of sight. They also bring in natural touches that make the space feel more welcoming and put-together.
- You can steer foot traffic naturally between tables. Use planters to show where to walk without using ropes or signs, and keep the space feeling open and relaxed.
- You can lift the mood with greenery that fits the décor. Whether your vibe is modern, cozy, or bold, greenery will add color and life that will make guests feel more at home.
- You can discreetly hide bins, carts, or service stations. Planters can make it easy to cover up less-attractive spots so your space will always look neat and put-together.
Our best planter picks:
- Low rectangular dividers
- UV-stable bowls near windows
