IKEA Is Selling a “Beautiful” Plant Pot, and People Are Buying Multiple at a Time

It turns out gorgeous greenery isn’t the only star of your outdoor space — planters can elevate the look, too. Classic terracotta planters are great, but why not add a touch of color and pattern? IKEA has a plant pot that’s being praised for its uniqueness, and you can grab one for your collection right now for 50% off its original price. 

The BÄCKDRÅG is a pot that looks like it could come alive at any moment. It’s designed with a scaly texture and cool gray color that might make guests do a double take. But because it’s still neutral and simple in shape, the BÄCKDRÅG will fit in perfectly with your existing pot and plant collection and let your foliage be the star of the show.

It’s made of durable concrete, which makes it suitable for use both inside and outside, and each scale is accented with a touch of paint to add more dimension and depth to the texture. The BÄCKDRÅG has an almost five-star rating on IKEA’s website — so it’s unsurprising people were quick to share their reviews. 

“I love this pot,” one IKEA shopper wrote in their review. “First I bought a small one, then went back to buy a large one, but bought two instead since they look good paired. Like the original texture and fish scale design. Price was amazing. Love IKEA’s garden department where I can discover unique ways to display my plants.”

“Beautiful and unique,” another reviewer wrote. “This design is a steal at this price point.”

And someone said that it’s even better in person. “This planter is even more beautiful in person than the picture captures,” they wrote. “The colors really come out from the ranges of pale grey to almost a stormy blue tint with some beige around the little dots. It has a nice sheen to it and looks very expensive. It’s got a nice weight to it with thick walls — won’t chip easily. Just a very unique planter that I adore adding to my collection. Highly recommend!”

If you want to add even more interest and texture to your plant collection, consider this pot from Wayfair, which features a similar scaly design. It’s called the DBKD Cloudy Ceramic Pot Planter, and it’s available in a variety of colors and sizes.

Pick up the IKEA BÄCKDRÅG in one of three sizes and add a bit of interest to your plant collection while saving big. The IKEA Summer Sale only runs until June 30, so grab it now while you can score it for half off.
