Round Planter with Wooden Legs

Raising a planter on legs solves two problems at once. Water that runs through a pot no longer sits against the floor, which is what marks timber and lifts vinyl, and trailing growth gets room to hang instead of pooling on the surface below.

The mid-century combination of a rounded vessel on tapered wooden legs is used because it works: the legs are visually light, so a large planter does not read as a block sitting on the floor, and the timber warms an otherwise plain pot.

It suits a corner beside a sofa, an entrance, or a covered patio position outdoors. Use a saucer or the supplied liner regardless of the legs, since a raised pot still drains downward, and check whether your variant has a drainage hole before planting directly into it. Position it on level ground and keep the heaviest planting centered rather than to one side.

• Trailing growth hangs freely rather than pooling
• Tapered wooden legs keep a large planter visually light
• Suits corners, entrances and covered patio positions
• Use a saucer or liner; check for a drainage hole before planting
