This summer, indoor pot plant trends reflect a balance between aesthetic elegance, practicality and sustainability, allowing people to personalise their homes with greenery in a stylish, eco-conscious way.
With this in mind, Portuguese pot designers, Borralheira, renowned for their exquisite ceramic artistry, unveils its Spring/Summer 2024 collection with a range of pots that seamlessly blend tradition with modern design.
Borralheira’s new collection incorporates earthy tones, subtle pastels, and vibrant accents that align with this year’s most sought-after colour palettes. From soft bone and blush pink to bold terracotta and lush green, these hues offer a harmonious balance of calmness and vibrancy, perfect for refreshing an interior.
Here’s a closer look at the trends to expect:
Biophilic design influence
As people strive to bring nature indoors, we’ll see pots that emphasise organic textures and natural tones. Colours of the landscape like terracotta, clay, blue and green will be prominent, alongside organic, rounded shapes to promote a soothing, nature-inspired ambiance.
With a nod to the growing biophilic design trend, the Borralheira Palm Indoor Plant Pot adds the calmness of water with a tropical twist.Featuring an intricate embossed botanical design, the pot is available in two sizes so can easily be styled in a group arrangement to add depth to a space while elevating the ambience with greenery.
Textured and handcrafted pots
Artisan-crafted and textured pots will be big this summer. Pots with unique finishes like matte or gloss ceramics, rough-hewn surfaces, or woven designs will offer a tactile, handmade feel that adds character and warmth to a room.
It’s easy to bring timeless design to interiors with the Borralheira Cylinder Indoor Plant Pot featuring a classic cylindrical shape and textured vertical lines. Available in vibrant terracotta or refreshing light blue, the interesting pattern and thoughtful design make it a truly versatile pot that will work in any setting, from a sleek urban apartment to a coastal cottage.
Bring spaces to life by mixing plants of different shapes and sizes; choose from upright, trailing or small potted plants. For a unified look, choose similar-shaped pots in a single colour.
Neutral and monochromatic palettes
Minimalism continues to dominate interior design, so pots in neutral and monochromatic shades such as white, beige, grey, and muted pastels will remain popular. These colours provide a soft, sophisticated backdrop for lush greenery to pop.
Ideal to bring a refined touch to spring and summer style is the Borralheira 14cm Smooth Indoor Plant Pot. Featuring an organic bubble shape, the design evokes the lightness of summer and makes a statement that can elevate an entire interior design. Available in bone or pink, its simple minimalist appearance highlights the beauty of plants, and paired with a bold, structured plant like a cactus, succulent or mother-in-law tongue will create a striking centrepiece.
Bold colours
On the flip side, vibrant colours and playful patterns will also make a statement. Bold ceramic pots in bright hues such as the Borralheira 13cm Two Tone Indoor Plant Pot, bring life to indoor spaces. Featuring a white base with a striking bold stripe, the pot is available in burgundy, green, light blue, or yellow. Its sophisticated blend of colours and design adds a bold fresh touch. Whether used as a single statement piece or combined with pots in various colours to create a vibrant collection, these pots offer endless styling possibilities.
Borralheira pots are crafted from superior quality ceramic material with a high-quality glaze finish. Each piece is handmade in Portugal, featuring non-porous, water-tight construction, making them suitable for indoor use. The Borralheira Pot Plant ranges are available at Bunnings Warehouse nationwide.
