By using your plant pot as a room divider, you combine practical use with stylish interior design. Placed in the middle of the room, the plant pot is an eye-catcher. Once you have built it yourself, your visitors will be amazed.
How can you build a plant pot room divider yourself?
To build a planter room divider yourself, choose a material such as terracotta, fiberglass or raffia. Design a blank made of concrete or Styrofoam and cover it with the chosen material. Place the plant pot on a plant roller and ensure drainage.
Which plant pot is suitable?
In order to really create an impression, the plant pot must of course not be lost in the room. It should therefore have a minimum height of half a meter. Bulbous, small pots are better off in the flower bed. You can read how to build an XXL plant pot yourself on this page. There are no limits when it comes to the material. Match the look of your flower pot to your interior style.
Tip
Since you will probably have to move your plant pot around the house more often while cleaning, we recommend placing it on a plant roller.
Build your own plant pot
For a harmonious look, it is important to use a material that looks natural but also fits into the interior. Terracotta, fiberglass and raffia always look good.
Terracotta planters
Do you want to recreate the high-quality material? Then you need a blank that you either cast yourself from concrete or make from Styrofoam. Both instructions can be found under the corresponding links. A plant pot made of Styrofoam is particularly light and therefore even more advantageous than the model made of concrete. With the right design, no one can see that it's just a covered planter.
Fiberglass planters
Here, too, cover a blank with fiberglass mats from the hardware store, which you cut to the appropriate size.
Raffia planters
- Get raffia from the hardware store.
- Braid the strands horizontally around several vertical wooden sticks.
- Build a rectangular shape this way.
- Put a mortar barrel in it, fill it with soil and plant it.
The exotic room divider
Do you want an unusual room divider? Then glue bamboo sticks close together to the outer edge of a plant pot. Trim the excess ends.
Note: Your room divider definitely needs drainage. Since a drain hole is out of the question, we have put together helpful alternatives here.
