The Benefits of Custom Planters
Custom planters integrate greenery seamlessly into interiors, matching the scale and finishes of bespoke joinery while ensuring plants fit without disrupting design intent.

Design Essentials for Joinery Planters
When planning joinery to accommodate live plants, it’s essential to address:
- Pot Sizing – Allow adequate width and depth to suit chosen plant species
- Waterproofing – Protect surrounding materials from leaks or excess moisture
- Access – Ensure planters can be easily reached for maintenance
- Finish – Select materials and colours that complement both plants and interiors
Our Pot Sizing Guide, available in the Designer Resources section, details specifications to help document and build joinery correctly for planting.

From Design Stage to Installation
Effective custom planters are best considered early in the design process. Documenting planter requirements upfront ensures joinery is correctly sized, waterproofed, and built to support plant health, while also reducing the risk of costly changes later.
Our team works with project stakeholders from concept through installation, supplying plants that align with both the design brief and practical needs, creating interiors that are cohesive, low-maintenance, and supportive of long-term plant growth.
