As much as I want to love the plant pots available at my local hardware store and call it a day, the reality is that so many retailers now sell gorgeous planters of their own, and their styles keep calling my name. West Elm (which happens to actually be located right next door to my neighborhood hardware store) sells tons of beautiful planters—there’s even a whole section devoted to planters and greenery below $100 and many are on sale for up to 30% off right now. Below are a few can’t-miss pieces that we’re in love with—scoop them up now, or grab them the next time the retailer is offering a site-wide sale (although many of them are already discounted).

Portico Standing Planters – Orb

These modern planters are quite cool and eye-catching, and are small enough to sit on a nightstand or desk. While I’m partial to the white and gold combo, the mint planter would look darling in a more rustic or shabby chic space. Plus, the mint option is currently on sale.

Iris Planter + Chevron Stand, Triple

Standing planters are a great way to fill a neglected corner and add some life to a space. (You could even put a fake plant inside for purely decorative purposes.) We like this chevron-style triple plant stand as an easy way to up your green factor, but single stand versions are also available.

Pure White Ceramic Planters

Sometimes simple is the way to go, as evidenced by these white planters. Available in three sizes, they keep your space looking clean and neutral. The extra small size is perfect for succulents and cacti, while the medium can fit a fiddle leaf fig and other indoor trees.

Art in the Forest Cachepots – Herringbone

Who isn’t a sucker for a good herringbone pattern? On this planter it looks especially cute, especially with the tiny legs, and is a great way to add some personality to any room in the home. Use one to house a fern or ZZ plant and watch your plant babies thrive.
