Small Space, Big Style: How to Use Planters to Fill Empty Corners

Empty corners don’t have to be dull. With the right planter, you can turn even the tiniest nook into a stylish focal point. Whether you’re in an apartment or just maximizing space, here’s how to bring charm and greenery into forgotten corners—without the clutter.

Choose the Right Size
A tall, narrow planter works great in tight spots where floor space is limited. Go with something that adds height without overwhelming the area. If the space is wider, try a cluster of small planters for a layered look.

Play with Shape and Texture
Planters come in all styles—from sleek and modern to textured and rustic. Use different shapes to add personality. For a clean, cohesive look, stick to a similar color palette that complements your furniture.

Add Faux Plants for Easy Maintenance
No sun? No problem. Faux plants from Waysaving offer the lush look of real greenery without the watering schedule. They’re perfect for filling dim corners that wouldn’t support real plants.

Create Vertical Interest
Don’t just think at floor level. Wall-mounted planters or plant stands can draw the eye upward and add dimension. Great for creating visual interest without using up floor space.

Try Statement Planters
Sometimes the planter itself is the decor. A bold pot with a striking finish or pattern can double as an art piece—even with the simplest plant.
