It is always nice to have plants as part of your home decor. Most would agree that no matter the plant, it always gives out that warm and relaxing feeling to a room, and having a balcony or patio bared of plants seems almost wrong. When imagining indoor plants, you might think of large heavy pots and planters, like dirt-filled accidents waiting to happen, especially when you have kids or pets running around. Another setback is that they can take up valuable space both on the floor and on the shelves. Luckily, there are other options to solve these problems and have your plants, too. Hanging planters is one of them.
“But I already have enough planters. I don’t want more.” is what you might say. No worries. There’s no need for new hanging planters, since all that you need, you might already have in your home. Making a hanging planter is fairly easy and entertaining once you get the basics of it. Here we’ve gathered a few hanging planter tutorials for you to choose from and ones that when finished and placed in your home can make a significant transformation.
So, check out our list and see which homemade hanging planter will become your next home improvement project.
