Why Desk Planters Belong in Every Office
Desk planters are small in size but big in impact. Studies show greenery can ease stress and sharpen focus, making it a natural fit for professional settings. They also lift the look of desks, cabinets, tables and counters, adding warmth to otherwise plain surfaces.
With a choice of colours and shapes, desk planters can be matched to any décor. From minimalist black and white to more textured finishes like concrete, each option balances design appeal with plant health.

How To Choose the Right Desk Planter
When selecting desk planters, think about both the plant and the space:
- Plant type – Compact leafy plants thrive in shallower pots, ideal for our desktop range.
- Desk size – Smaller surfaces call for petite pots, while larger desks can accommodate medium planters without feeling crowded.
- Work setting – Shared tables benefit from low, narrow designs, while executive desks may suit taller, statement pieces.
- Style and finish – Neutral colours blend into professional offices, while adding colourful foliage can inject personality into creative spaces.

Desk Planters in a Larger Design Scheme
While effective on their own, desk planters can also be used as part of a bigger planting plan. Combined with floor planters and troughs, they help create layers of greenery across a space. This approach not only improves aesthetics but also promotes cleaner air and a healthier atmosphere for employees.
Our team partners with architects, designers, and corporate clients to recommend the right planter mix. By weaving desk planters into the broader design, workplaces gain a consistent look that supports both style and wellbeing.
