There are several ways you can incorporate Mediterranean-style pottery and planters into your outdoor spaces. Here are some ideas:
1. Choose the right color palette: Mediterranean pottery often comes in vibrant colors like cobalt blue, turquoise, and terra cotta. Select planters and pottery in these colors to create a Mediterranean feel in your outdoor spaces.
2. Use a variety of sizes and shapes: Mix and match different sizes and shapes of planters for visual interest. Opt for large statement pieces as well as smaller pots to create a dynamic arrangement.
3. Group pots together: Create a cluster of pots and planters in a corner of your patio or garden area. This can create a focal point and make a statement while also adding a Mediterranean touch.
4. Incorporate traditional patterns: Look for pottery and planters that feature traditional Mediterranean patterns like Moorish tile designs or Greek key patterns. These patterns will instantly bring in the Mediterranean vibe.
5. Fill them with Mediterranean plants: Choose plants that are native to the Mediterranean region and have a similar aesthetic. Olive trees, lavender, rosemary, bougainvillea, and succulents are some examples that work well in Mediterranean-style planters.
6. Use them as accents: Place smaller, intricate Mediterranean pottery on tabletops, outdoor shelves, or along pathways to add pops of color and visual interest.
7. Hang pottery: If you have limited space, consider hanging Mediterranean-style pottery as wall decor. Use hooks or specialized brackets to securely hang the pottery on your outdoor walls or fences.
8. Use as water features: Some large Mediterranean-style pottery can double as water features. Look for pots with built-in fountains or consider converting a vessel into a water feature by adding a small pump and spout.
Remember to consider the overall style and aesthetic of your outdoor spaces when incorporating Mediterranean pottery and planters. Combine them with other Mediterranean elements such as rustic furniture, tiled surfaces, and vibrant textiles to create a cohesive Mediterranean-inspired outdoor oasis.
