The best hanging planters to elevate your home decor

Charming, simple, and inexpensive — a hanging planter is a great way to upgrade your home today. A hanging planter promotes a peaceful atmosphere and helps keep your household air clean. They are popular for a reason, but don’t get dizzy from all the choices out there. Lucky for you, we’ve curated this all-inclusive list to help you choose the best hanging planter for your space.

Installing a hanging planter in your home either on your wall, from your ceiling, or even off a shelf will instantly make your personal space more enjoyable. Additionally, a hanging planter is a simple way of expressing your personal taste without risking being tacky — think well-intentioned gaudy rugs or garish paintings.

With a hanging planter, you can’t go wrong. You just need to consider what type of plant you want to showcase and what material you prefer in a planter. You should also think about which part of your home would be a good spot to utilize vertical space. Now, let’s look at our top picks.

If style is your No. 1 priority, Umbra’s Trigg Hanging Planter is an effortless way to enhance your space. Each planter comes with a triangular concrete planter bottom and a triangle metal hanger, creating a diamond. This clean yet intriguing design is the best-looking option. Although the screws for installation are lightweight, avoid installing this planter on delicate walls.

Best for Small Plants

If natural and neutral is your household-decor motto, Mkono’s two-piece Ceramic Hanging Planter set is the ideal choice. Hang the macramé hanger on a hook indoors or outdoors, but this planter is best for small plants to avoid leakage and to match its petite size.

A hanging planter freshens up your home in as little as one step. Choose from resin, macramé, or metal hangers to complement your kitchen, office, or living room. Remember that some planters require wall screws or ceiling hooks, depending on the brand. However, this is a small step for a more-attractive home, better air quality, and a cohesive household theme.

Is your basement dark and dreary? Basement walls aren’t always the most welcoming, and can easily contribute to an uninviting aesthetic (especially if the rest of your basement design is similarly lackluster). Depending on the existing conditions of your space, you could face a drab and boring background that interrupts the flow of your personal style. And when it comes to sprucing up this area of the home, many homeowners struggle to know how to paint a basement wall while also keeping the sub-level mold-free.

Perhaps you’ve considered basement paint ideas to spruce up your space. However, painting your basement walls is not the same as traditionally painting your interiors.

Paint manufacturers say "yes" — it is an essential wall painting technique — because they want the best possible surface for the paint to shine. Do-it-yourself (DIY) fans seem less thrilled about the process, mostly because it takes more time and money.

So, do you need primer when you paint? The reality is that not every painting project is the same, and the answer is not a clear-cut one.
