How to Style the Egg Hexagon Handthrown Planter on a Patio

Quick answer

Style the Egg Hexagon Handthrown planter on your patio by placing it as a focal point, grouping it with complementary planters, and choosing plants that echo its soft geometric shape.

How to style the Egg Hexagon Handthrown planter on your patio

1. Choose a focal location: Place the planter where it will be seen from your main seating area or entry. A corner of the patio, next to a door, or at the end of a walkway works well. Avoid putting it in a spot where it will be crowded by furniture or other decor. Check that the planter is visible but not in the way of foot traffic.
2. Group with other planters: If you bought the set of three, arrange them in a cluster at different heights—use a plant stand or overturned pot for one. If you have only one, pair it with a contrasting shape, like a round or rectangular planter, to create visual interest. Common mistake: placing all planters at the same height makes the grouping look flat. Vary heights for depth.
3. Select plants that complement the shape: Choose plants with upright or spiky foliage, such as snake plant, ornamental grass, or agave, to echo the hexagon's vertical lines. Trailing plants like ivy or sweet potato vine soften the edges. Avoid round, bushy plants that hide the planter's silhouette. Check that the plant's mature size won't overwhelm the planter's proportions.
4. Use the glazed colorways intentionally: If you have one color, let it be a neutral anchor and add color with nearby cushions or throws. If you have two colors, place the darker one lower and the lighter one higher to draw the eye upward. Common mistake: mixing too many colors in one area. Stick to two or three for a cohesive look.
5. Protect the planter from harsh weather: While ceramic is durable, extreme cold can cause cracking. In winter, move the planter to a sheltered porch or indoors, or wrap it in frost cloth. If you live in a mild climate, it can stay out year-round. Empty the planter of soil before moving it to avoid cracking from frozen moisture.
