20 Gorgeous Planters by the Swimming Pool

For people who are into plants – whether they just purchase them or plant it themselves, planters is may be second to the most important thing that they need after the plants themselves. As we featured before here in Home Design Lover, there are tons of planter designs that are available in the market. They come in different designs, sizes, manufacturers and designers that actually are pretty. There are even those that look collectible because of how minimal the number of the planters is in the market.

Below is a list of 20 Gorgeous Planters by the Swimming Pool that are pretty much contemporary and something that you can see in the market every day. Some of the designs are really neat and expensive-looking while others look simple but really fascinating. Take a look at the designs below and tell us what you think about them.

1. Athens

Decorpro

This large planter is named after the Greek goddess of wisdom. The color and shape is very sleek and modern and the addition of the cute plant in here made it look more beautiful and interesting. I personally love the color of this Athens planter from Decorpro.

2. Atkinson

California Pools & Landscape

The circular planters we see in here look really nice with the cute cactus plant that they added to it. It’s nice because a cactus is not high maintenance and still it looks really good. The contrast of the color of the planters and the cactus sure is common but always a neat idea!

3. Caulfield North

Nathan Burkett Design

The wooden planters seen in this outdoor area are simple in design but it surely complements the overall theme of this swimming pool area. The plants used in the planters area well-kept and I like them.

4. Country Estate

Arterra Landscape Architects

This country home has a wonderful outdoor area with tons of greenery and they’re all pretty! The large trees on the background promise a beautiful landscape behind it. The colorful plants in this outdoor area are really beautiful and something I’d want for my own backyard.

5. Cube

Usona

The cube planters by the swimming pool seem to have grasses in them. I am not really familiar with plants that you use in spaces like this one; but I love the idea that this space is decorated with white planters – white sure is something that you will never go wrong with.

6. Dressel Pool Pavilion

Dotter & Solfjeld Architecture + Design

This is one large outdoor area – a large swimming pool is the center of attraction in this space. The fact that there are tons of large trees in here, I would like to believe that this home is not located in the city. There are a lot of planters in here and they look all too pretty.

7. Hillgrove

Tim Barber Ltd. Architecture

This looks like a rest or vacation house that you can see in movies. The design of the house is a bit traditional but the outdoor space looks really gorgeous! Whoever added the plants in here, made sure that it is pretty but easy to maintain.

8. Hilltop Modern

Nest Architectural Design, Inc.

This black and white house is quite intimidating. I do not know if it’s the columns or the small swimming pool – but aside from looking really expensive, this Hilltop modern home sure is sophisticated and classy. The color and the design of the planters in here sure look really glamorous!

9. Island Modern

Raymond Jungles, Inc.

This outdoor space is surrounded by tons of plants and flowering plants. Most of the plants by the swimming pool is low maintenance so it wouldn’t be hard to manage.

10. Khanna Residence

AMS Landscape Design Studios

Well, this is one beautiful infinity pool with a cute accent in the middle. Well, it’s not really an accent but a stunning plant that surely looks very fun! If I had this space and have a view like this one – I think that it is just wonderful.

11. Los Angeles Tropical Pool

Estate Pools & Landscapes Design/Build

Want a cute waterfall effect on your swimming pool area? This is one great idea you can ask your designer to add to your outdoor space. I love the fact that there are plants around the pool, although I think that there are a lot of them in here, it still looks fascinating and Earth-friendly.

12. Melbourne Outdoors

DDB Design Development & Building

In this home, for example, the planters around the swimming pool sure is great because of all the concrete in this property, a little green area would very much nice for it.

13. New Pool

Symphony Pools Inc.

I do not really know the size of this pool, but it sure looks enough for a short swim every day. It’s background seems to be in some mountain or something and adding the plants on the corner of this property seems very abundant; the fact that it looks crowded seems to imitate the feel of mountains or forests.

14. Private Residence

Harold Leidner Landscape Architects

Fancy a mansion-like location? This looks like the space you are looking for. This home sure is large and very telenovela-like and very interesting because of the said look and feature. The shrubs that are surrounding the pool is cute and looks like its really well-taken care of.

15. Robins Way

Bates Masi Architects LLC

This place looks really charming because of the lighting from the inside of the house that seems very ideal for cafes or coffee shops that use mood lighting. The design of the house is also really beautiful – and with a beautiful scenic and background in here, this is definitely one astounding space. Note the spherical planters that are on the sides of the pool.

16. Sonoma Guest House

Michael Tauber Architecture

Fancy and desert feel in your swimming pool area? From what I can see, the insides of this guest house is still empty, plus the planters were somehow made into large planter boxes to place all the plants on it close to the pool. The aura of this outdoor at this hour seem interesting and a bit spooky.

17. Stratford Residence

AquaTerra Outdoors

A cute rectangular pool which is adorned with tons of plants around. From this angle, the look of the facade of the house plus the roofing looks something that you can see in places like Rome; I know it’s not always the case but I think this facade looks romantic and really pretty.

18. The Estuary

Harwick Homes

Well for a residential space and pool, I wouldn’t really expect having palms this big as a landscaping plant but if you the place rarely sees palms or that the owner actually loves places with palms, this outdoor sure is ideal and even perfect. I think every now and then, fallen leaves would be an issue, but if you have someone to maintain it, then there’s no problem!

19. Tribeca Pool Garden

Jeffrey Erb Landscape Design

Envision using shrubs but in a vase or planter? Take a look at what they did with the plants in this pool garden in Tribeca. The brick walls added drama to the spaces and the wooden floors seem really neat that completes the look of this space.

20. Whittaker

Craig Reynolds Landscape Architecture

Interested in adding a couple of planters by your swimming pool? This sure seems to be the answer to that. The look is simple but very contemporary. The planters may look simple because they are ordinary cubes or squares and white, but I think the look in here is just perfect.

What do you think about the 20 Gorgeous Planters by the Swimming Pool? Aren’t they beautiful and nice to look at?

5 Ideas For Gorgeous Planters Around Pool Areas + Tips & Tricks Jay Scotts Collection

What do your customers picture in their minds when they say they want a pool oasis? Perhaps they see a serene water feature, a pleasant atmosphere, and of course, a tropical paradise. By including various pool planters with different types of greenery, you can make your pool customers’ visions come to life.

Pool planters are great additions not just for beauty but also for functionality. But where do you begin with so many planter materials and plant options?

To put it simply, planters installed around swimming pool areas must be somewhat resistant to sun damage and endure the most extreme weather conditions, such as severe winters, frost, and salt exposure. In particular for commercial applications, materials utilized for pool planters must be flexible in design to fit, enhance, and complement any pool area as well.

As for the best planter material for pool areas, high-quality commercial fiberglass planters tick all the boxes!

That’s because fiberglass planters aren’t just for show. They serve a vital function in preserving seclusion as well as the simplicity of the upkeep of the plants surrounding outdoor spaces.

This article will provide you with a professional insight into the benefits of using planters around the pool PLUS 5 effective ideas to arrange pool planters!

4 Benefits Of Using Planters Around Pools

1.

Planters Add A Splash Of Color To The Pool Area©Jay Scotts

A pool often dominates your environment with its enormous blue beauty. The blue will be emphasized and softened by the addition of other attractive hues to the border of your pool or decking, which will create a striking visual effect. The use of container plants around your pool is excellent for adding color.

2. Planters Add Height To Swimming Pools

An in-ground pool is remarkably flat, regardless of size. A decent, balanced design is aided by the addition of some taller potted plants. Try experimenting with different sizes of pots and plants.

A low, broad planter with a taller palm, for example, is attractive. A tall, narrow container loaded to the brim with cascading flowers (wave petunias, for example) may be a nice contrast. Experiment with plant and container height to create different types of vertical appeal.

3. Flexibility In Arrangement

Depending on the different sizes and shapes of planters, they can easily be moved around the pool area to spice things up if it gets too boring using the old layout day by day. The key principle to take into consideration when purchasing any planters is the materials.

For instance, concrete or metal planters are great for outdoor but they are too heavy to be moved around frequently. Fiberglass planters are the best if you desire flexibility in landscape design.

4. Soften The Hardscape

Planters are an easy way to add interest to the outdoor swimming pool, they also help soften all the hardscaping that goes around the pool area, while also providing a sense of deep relaxation for you or your customers.

For commercial settings such as hotel pool areas, balancing between hardscape and softscape is extremely crucial. According to The University of Washington’s Urban Forestry Research, commercial spaces with high-quality landscapes saw 7 percent higher rental rates than those without.

5 Pool Planter Ideas To Enhance Your Outdoor Swimming Pool Space!

Divide The Pool Area

A pathway usually surrounds a pool. Whether it’s concrete, brick, stone, or wooden decking, the final result can be monotonous and unpleasant if the edges aren’t softened with color and texture. Adding potted plants breaks up the landscape and allows your individual design flair to flourish.

Plants placed in a random pattern can accent the edges of your pool. Add symmetry by uniformly arranging your chosen plants around the edge of your pool, or alter locations to add interest.

To keep things modern, utilize square plant pots such as Kathryn Square Tapered Planter, and grow distinctive ornamental grasses and flowering plants to add a finishing touch to your swimming pool area.

Create Some Privacy And Shape For Your Pool

Planters strategically placed around your pool can provide shade and solitude.

While you can create a beautiful atmosphere with a series of containers filled with tall ornamental plants, a long rectangular planter will achieve the same effect but without using lots of different planters. Choose tall bushes or plants with broad leaves for more shade and seclusion.

Jay Scotts’ Hollywood Rectangular Plantersare one of the best rectangular planters to effectively organize all your container plants, whether they are used for growing herbs or small trees! Plus, the clean straight lines and canopies of plants offered by planters provide a great privacy screen for any swimming pool area.

Create A Unique Grouping Of Pool Planters

A cluster of planters is a classic technique to add intriguing aesthetic components to your landscape, so it stands to reason that a grouping of planters would enrich your pool area.

Use planters of varied heights to create a focal point or two of the same planters for some balance. Take the Jay Scotts’ Valencia Tall Round Tapered Planter as an example; the perfectly placed lines and smooth curves of our bowl planters come together to offer an amazing design that is highly adaptable, stunningly attractive, and ultimately timeless.

Valencia planters are refreshingly unique and come in a wide selection of traditional and more contemporary colors, so you should have no trouble mixing and arranging them exactly how you want.

At this time of the year, everyone is talking about planning a spring garden and planting seeds indoors. Gardens are wonderful givers of life and a great way to help your family and the Earth. Fruits and vegetables grown in your garden nourish not only your body, but also your soul. While outdoor gardens are truly beautiful in many ways, plants can provide amazing benefits when grown indoors as well. Indoor gardening is one of the many known ways to improve indoor air quality, which is an important step in achieving optimal health in most homes.

Did you know that, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the level of many indoor air pollutants can be 2-5 times higher than outdoors? In some cases, indoor levels of these air pollutants can be over 100 times higher than outdoor levels. It's time to open the windows!

The reason indoor air pollutants are such a big problem is that most people spend up to 90% of their time indoors. Some sources of indoor air pollutants can include burning kerosene, wood or oil, smoking tobacco products, emissions from household cleaning products, pesticides, building materials, radon, and more. If you don't take steps to remove these pollutants from your indoor air, your health may suffer. So if your home is like most homes with poor air quality, adding houseplants to your home is a great way to start tackling the problem.

Creating an indoor garden can benefit your home in many ways. Plants can

Help improve indoor air quality

Add a unique touch to your home décor

Reduce food costs - if you grow edible plants!

There are so many beautiful and unique ways to keep plants in your home - you are no longer limited to simple pots and planters. From vertical gardens, hanging containers to recycled containers, there is sure to be an indoor gardening option that will capture your attention and sense of style.

Check out these 15 unique ways to get started indoor gardening and take the first step towards improving the air quality in your home—and add a touch of beauty while you do it!

Build it and the plants will come

If you are designing a new house, consider bringing a greenhouse into your home. There is no need to build a greenhouse on the street when it can be part of the house itself. An indoor greenhouse is a great way to bring a ton of air-purifying plants into your home. You can even incorporate edible plants into your greenhouse design so you can just walk up to the window and grab the ingredients for a delicious salad! This is the perfect design for indoor gardening.

Pipes for more than just plumbing

There are many ways to transform ordinary PVC pipes into unique garden planters.

This DIY copper PVC pipe planter is ideal for small houseplants and is a unique wall hanger.

Pretty little plants like succulents can be planted in PVC tubing just like any other pot.

Larger indoor planters can also be made from large PVC pipes.

You can even go a step further and use pipes for plumbing and gardening at the same time as this DIY aquaponic garden.

Climb the Walls

There are so many unique ways to make planters to decorate your walls.

This leather and wood trellis allows you to cover the entire wall with plants of your choice.

Recycle old soda bottles to make a unique vertical garden that's an inexpensive talking point.

Of course, no list of indoor gardening ideas would be complete without mentioning jars! There are so many ways to create indoor gardens for herbs and other plants using jars.

Here's a simple idea for a wall mounted herb garden that's perfect for any kitchen.

Want something less messy? How about these elegant vertical gardens that use moss and rock instead of mud? They will add elegance to any home.

There are many interesting ways to dispose of wine corks and bottles. One of the cutest ways to recycle wine corks is to turn them into little seedlings. With a few simple materials and adorable succulents, you can make wine cork seedlings that can be used as fridge magnets. You can also simply place wine cork seedlings on your windowsill to add an extra touch to your decor. Want to do something different with your leftover wine bottles (besides recycling them)? Make your own self-watering seedlings from the top of the bottles. This idea is great for those who forget to water their plants for a long time.

Convert an old stump

outdoors to indoors? We live in a national forest and there is wood everywhere, including stumps. I see so many amazing designs people make from fallen trees. This modern stump planter is a beautiful and unique way to place your favorite plants in your home. All you have to do is gouge and seal the old stump and you'll have the perfect addition to your indoor garden.

Spready

Living in an apartment doesn't mean you can't bring plants into the house. For example:

If you have a few old coffee tins, you can turn them into a hanging herb garden.

If you're not a DIY enthusiast, there are many great hanging gardens available.

This glass hanging planter is beautiful and will allow you to see your hanging plant from all angles.

This greenhouse doubles as a lamp and herb garden, so you can use the heat from the lamp to grow herbs. For double use!

These are just a few ways to bring more plants into your home to help purify the air and add beauty to indoor gardening.

This project began as a design-build proposal to build an addition for an indoor swim spa and exercise room to a ranch style house. The Clients were seeking a functional and inviting space reminiscent of the luxury resorts and space they have visited during their international travels. One of the biggest challenges was to fit the program within the site and buildable area constraints. In order to maximize floor area, the exterior walls of the addition were located parallel to the property lines along the required setbacks, which resulted in a non-orthagonal geometry in plan. The volume of the addition began to take shape with large floor to ceiling openings strengthening the connection to the outdoors with roof line that rises northward to capture daylight. A series of operable skylights ventilate the room and allow more daylight to penetrate into the adjacent existing den. Inspired by modern additions made to historic structures in Europe, we made a conscious decision to not try to blend the addition into the language of the existing ranch house, choosing instead to juxtapose a structure that was layered and felt light next to the cement tile roof and framed picture windows.
