Plants are a delightful way to bring some color and life into your home. They are not only an excellent addition to your decor, but they also help clean the environment and air around them.
For all the good houseplants do for you, the least you can do is give them their own good-looking home. Ceramicists and decor brands agree and have been cooking up some truly original planter designs.
As always, however, we here at OBN prefer to create our own planters.
Have you seen those hanging test tube planters? They’re actually a great way to bring plants indoors, whether at home or in the office. It’s also nice for micro-gardening. Plus, they look great against any backdrop.
A ready-made test tube planter retails for more or less $25. If you have some spare wood lying around at home, you can easily make your own. They’re very easy to make; it’s no rocket science.
