Transform Your Front Door with Custom Corten Steel & Powder-Coated Planters

🌿 1. Choose the Right Planters
When it comes to planters, size and shape matter. For a balanced look, consider the scale of your door and entryway. Tall, narrow planters create height and drama, while low, wide planters offer a relaxed, grounded feel.
Material tip:
- Corten steel develops a rich, natural patina over time—ideal for adding warmth and a rustic, architectural edge.
- Powder-coated planters offer a modern, clean finish and exceptional durability in all weather conditions, available in a variety of colours to suit any home style.
These materials are not only striking but also made to last, making them a smart investment for outdoor styling.

🌼 2. Pick the Perfect Plants for Your Entrance
The best plants for styling an entrance are those that are visually striking, easy to care for, and suited to outdoor conditions. Whether you're aiming for a classic, sculptural, or fragrant look, the right greenery will instantly elevate your entryway.
Some favourite choices include:
- Olive trees – elegant and timeless
- Lavender – soft, fragrant, and great for adding texture
- Dwarf citrus – lush and vibrant with seasonal interest
- Succulents – sculptural and low-maintenance
- Buxus balls – classic and formal, perfect for symmetrical styling or topiary-inspired structure
- Fountain grass – adds gentle movement and softness
- Yucca or agave – bold and architectural
🧑🎨 3. Style with Intention
Styling with planters is all about balance and personality.
- Symmetry: Try placing two matching planters on either side of your door for a clean, formal look.
- Asymmetry: Go for an eclectic grouping of different sizes and shapes for a more relaxed, curated feel.
- Colour coordination: Use greenery or blooms that complement your home’s façade or door colour.
You can also refresh your entrance seasonally—think flowering bulbs in spring, vibrant foliage in autumn, and evergreens in winter.
