Picture Perfect Porch Planters and Filler Ideas

Porch planters are picture perfect accents to frame your home and add a pop of color and texture when all year – even when landscaping is dormant. It’s the easiest way to update your exterior, with minimal effort and expense!

Front Porch Planters
When we purchased our home, I was anxious to update exterior to make it feel warm and welcoming. Through time, we painted the brick exterior, added copper lanterns, copper gutters, a new Dutch Door and landscaping. Porch planters really make it pop – especially in late fall, winter and early Spring when our garden looks a little dreary.


Fill porch planters with fresh or faux flowers, plants and topiaries to enhance your entrance, patio, deck or dress up a drab garage.


Porch Planter Tips
- Size Matters – Bigger is better to give porch planters impact from the street.
- Drainage – Choose a planter with drainage holes for fresh plants to keep them healthy.
- How Many – A single large-scaled planter can make an impact on its own. Use two planters to flank a door, columns or steps for symmetry or a trio of small, medium and large planters gathered together.

Picture Perfect Planters

Overall Pick
This classic style has drainage holes, is durable and comes in 3 sizes to scale for your porch.

Runner Up
I love the timeless style, available in white, navy and black for less than $50. They have drainage holes, so they’re suitable for fresh and faux fillers. Our paint has scratched off after a few years of use.

Lattice Planters
I love these planters and am impressed with the quality – especially given the price $2/50! They look pretty on our porch, deck and dock!
