people to view and place them accordingly in the display area. Angles are very

depending on the angles they’re placed in.

Decide the centrepiece
To give your garden a pleasing and

full blossoming flowers can become a great centrepiece. On the other hand, the
containers with tall plants can be kept on the corner for the best view.

bed. But the flowers should be in full blooms. You can also use these

1. The paint colour should be
picked at last
Most of the people pick a paint colour before
everything else and this is a big mistake. Paint colour should be the last
thing for you to pick once you have everything inside your home. You can choose
from a wide array of tones and shades to make your home look better. Also, for
a welcoming and eye-catching look, you can use outdoor planter pots for decoration.
2. Do not overcrowd your room
Just like you, every other thing in your
house needs space to breathe and manoeuvre with ease. And for this, you should
resist yourself from investing in a lot of furniture. You can browse through
our range of indoor and outdoor objects that are available at reasonable cost
to give your room a new and serene look. Moreover, rather than investing in a
lot of things, try to buy quality pieces.
3. Create a focal point
Design too has the main and supporting roles
like any production. Your main star should be the focal point to anchor your
room. Everything in your home can’t be in the leading role. So allow other less
attractive items to take a secondary role and create a focal point for every
area.
The focal point might be a dramatic outdoor
pot at the entrance of the room, a mantel in the living room or a hood in the
kitchen. You can choose anything that according to you will draw the attention
of your visitors or guests.

pots for decorating your home and giving it the perfect eye-catching look.

One of the biggest mistakes that people often make in gardening is- garden without a plan. And planning is more essential in a balcony garden, without which it won’t be a success. You need to plan cautiously to create a beautiful garden in your balcony. Therefore, to make your planning process easier, here are 3 ultimate tips for a successful balcony garden.
- Learn about your balcony
Caution: a collapsed balcony can cost you a fortune!
So you need to first learn about your balcony, the weight it can hold. If you wish to use garden pots and planters, combined with water and earth, they’ll weight a lot. Therefore, you should first determine how strong your balcony is and the amount of weight it can hold.
Moreover, if it is a wooden balcony, you can use trays under the pots to prevent soil from falling into the wood. Again, in case of walled balcony, you can place the pots and planters on walls.
- Set a budget
You can easily go crazy getting things including beautiful plant accessories, seeds and plants that aren’t in your list, but will make your balcony garden look appealing. But trust us; an unplanned shopping for your garden will hurt your pocket and the death of plants will add up to the pain. So determine your budget and then modify your plans to fit into your budget.
Do not forget to add trays, gardening tools, pots and other necessary things in your budget.
- Choose a theme
To give your home an eye-catching look, you can choose a theme depending on the sunlight patterns and weather of your balcony. You’ll need heavy ceramic planters if your balcony is windy and if always in shade, you should choose plants that grow better in shade.

You can use organic matter in low quality soils to make it better and use it for planting high quality plants. Also, the garden pots and planters you use should be according to the size of the plants.
- Over watering the plants
Remember, your plants need water to drink and not to drown them. Moreover, different plants have different water requirements and you need to take care of it. You first need to understand the requirements of the plants and then water them accordingly. But in no case the plants should be drowned.
- Misplacing the plants
The amount of light needed for growth varies from plant to plant. So before you choose a particular plant and decide its placing location, you need to know its growing habits and amount of light required for its proper growth. Poor light management is a mistake that most gardeners make and this results into poor growth of the plants.
Some plants will need more direct sunlight compared to some other plants. So place your garden pots and planters according to the sunlight requirement of the plant.
