Wooden Window Box Planters

Window box planters are more often made of wood, this a traditional material, which can be easily reached. Consider the outer look of your house and then choose the look of your box: modern and sleek, traditional and paneled, rustic and slatted. Take a box and paint it in any color you like without adding special touches – this is a more modern and fresh idea. If you want a natural touch, cover the box planter with twigs and branches completely, if you prefer traditional and classic looks – go for paneled box planters. A rustic stained box planter will be a nice idea for a farmhouse, the darker the stain is, the bolder the contrast will be.

After choosing a planter, you’ll need to choose plants and blooms for it. And again – if you want a rustic feel, add berries, cabbages, herbs and mix them with blooms. If you prefer more modern looks, fill the planter with greenery and foliage.
