6 Hanging Planters so You Can Bring the Outdoors In

Whatever the weather is outside, you can still enjoy nature while you’re indoors by adding potted plants throughout your space. If you live in a small home with limited floor space, going vertical with hanging planters is a great option. Even with all the room in the world, raising plants off the floor or tables turns them into living three-dimensional sculptures you can see better from more angles. Ready to add some hanging planters to your space? Take a look below at six of our favorites that will transform your space and your quality of air when hung and filled with plants or herbs.

Cork hanging planter

Atlas Hanging Cork Planter by mind the cork
Cork is such an underrated material yet it’s perfect for so many things beyond keeping your wine fresh and sealed. It’s lightweight, durable, antimicrobial and sustainable, all of which make it a great choice for a planter, like this hanging one from mind the cork. While the standard cord color is Off White, the planter has six additional cord color options available, including Jute, Mustard, Frost, Forest, Flamingo and Copper.
