For small gardens and patios, large pots are probably the best solution. If you are interested in this type of gardening, large number of small pots can be perfectly fine, but combining different plants in larger pots always looks more interesting. The explosion of colors will make your time spent in your garden, terrace or nicely decorated patio even more enjoyable.

Large containers can be in different sizes and shapes. Plastic ones aren't so decorative, and plain terracotta containers aren't really interesting. But, there is something you will certainly appreciate, beautiful mosaic garden planters. They will provide one perfect frame for your luxuriously blooming flowers, and give a special look to your outdoor space.

Mosaic is one really interesting and highly appealing decorative technique. Although some basic earthy and stone colors are usually used for it, there are no special rules for this, and any color combination will do. Simple patterns are effective as well, although they can be sophisticated and complicated as well. It depends on your personal taste, just give it a chance, you will just love it.

Ancient motifs are something you simply cannot make a mistake with. Geometrical patterns or mimicking nature, for example, leaves and flowers, is also always a very good idea. Old Greek or Roman motifs are quite popular for this purpose. In any case, this decorating technique successfully transforms plain and boring terracotta containers and makes a great difference.

The mosaic can be made using small pieces of stones, glass, ceramic tiles, or any other similar durable material. You can use perfect little squares or irregularly shaped pieces, it doesn't really matter, both can be used in achieving lovely results. People sometimes use some leftovers of ceramic tiles, simply broken into smaller pieces using a hammer, for example.

Really, if you keep some tiles in your garage, all you need is a package of ceramic tiles glue, a few old terracotta pots and a hammer, and your mosaic adventure may begin. Your boring old terracotta planters will never be the same again, and your outdoor space will be transformed into something to be proud of. You'll be surprised how little effort it really takes to do that. And how satisfying the results are.

The fact is that most people simply have not enough time or will to make something like this. It doesn't mean that you cannot have similar planters on your terrace or patio. In your nearest garden center you will probably find beautiful containers made using the mosaic technique. If not, try online. Some suppliers offer really interesting decorative containers you will simply adore.

And another thing. Although those so called earthy and stone colors are highly popular, if you enjoy more vivid colors, you should give them a chance. The explosion of colors in and on the planter, why not. Human brain reacts on colors, and they affect the mood. Your garden may be full of lovely colors all year long, not only during the blooming season. Transform your outdoor space and enjoy in life, anytime, anywhere.
