Nobody wants sad, soggy roots, and keeping your pot plants happy means making sure excess water has somewhere to go. Outdoor plant pots usually have drainage holes to solve this problem, but they need to sit on pot ‘feet’ or pebbles to let the water escape properly.

However, with indoor plants, things get trickier because you don’t want water draining all over your floor! One genius hack is to keep your plant in the plastic pot it came in and place it inside your decorative pot but with a twist. Balance it on a few Lego bricks inside your pot for indoor plants! This creates space for water to drain away from the roots and through the flower pot while keeping your plant from sitting in the puddle. Plus, it’s a great excuse to dig through your old Lego stash. Happy planting!

While terms are often used interchangeably, there IS a difference. A plant pot is usually smaller and designed for indoor use – think of the cute little homes for your houseplants sitting on windowsills or shelves. They’re perfect for keeping your leafy friends cosy inside. On the other hand, a planter is essentially a large plant pot, generally bigger, and made for outdoor spaces. These are the large garden planters you’ll see on patios, balconies and gardens, often holding multiple plants at once. They’re built to withstand the elements and give your outdoor greenery plenty of space to thrive. So, if you are shopping for your indoor jungle, you need a plant pot. But if you need something bigger for your patio or garden, a planter is your go-to!

A tall vase is a statement piece in itself, so the trick is to complement its height with equally elegant and elongated stems. Think tall, slender blooms like lilies, snapdragons or gladiolus, which create a beautifully balanced and graceful arrangement. If you prefer something more sculptural, branches like eucalyptus add a natural feel, while dried pampas or palm leaves bring a soft look that works in both modern and boho interiors.

For the most stylish effect, avoid making the arrangement too rigid or symmetrical. Let the stems vary slightly in height and lean naturally – this keeps things looking effortless and organic. Finally, think about where your vase will sit; placing it on the floor, a console table or a mantel draws the eye upward, adding height to the space. However you decide to style it, the key is to let the vase and flowers work together to create a look that feels intentional yet effortless.

A small vase is all about effortless charm, and sometimes, less is more. The simplest and most stylish way to fill one is with a beautiful single stem; a single rose, sculptural tulip or even a daffodil you plucked from the garden yourself. If you prefer a fuller look, a few carefully chosen stems work beautifully too. Opt for a mix of textures, like a delicate sprig paired with a couple of small blooms, to keep things light and natural. Small vases shine when they feel a little spontaneous! Keep it simple, let the flowers breathe and place your vase somewhere it can add a little moment of beauty.

A bud vase is a small, narrow vase made to hold just one or a few delicate stems. They are perfect for showing off a single beautiful flower, like a rose or a daisy, without overwhelming your space. Bud vases are all about simplicity – they let the flowers take centre stage whilst adding their own subtle, elegant touch. These small vases are great for scattering around your home, whether on a bedside table, shelf or as part of a tablescape. They also make the most of leftover flowers from a bigger bouquet. All in all, a bud vase is a super easy way to add a little bit of floral charm to your space.
