What’s Your Front Door Décor Style?

First impressions matter. And with curb appeal, it starts at your front door. Here are a few simple ways to give your home an instant facelift, and express your front door style, no matter your design personality. Speaking of…which one are you?

The TraditionalistLaguna Footed Deck Planter

Have a historic home or architecture you want to highlight? Or do you simply like the clean look and fine lines of traditional design? As a Traditionalist, you are likely looking to boost curb appeal with a nod to the timeless.

Pieces like our Laguna Footed Deck Planter bring that subtle sophistication to your space. Luckily, you can paint these compositive planters to match or complement your home’s exterior. They are also rot- and insect-resistant, so they’ll maintain their beauty for many seasons, no matter the weather.

In the same line, the matching Laguna Railing Planter has an easy mounting system—making it easy to attach to virtually any railing or fence. Constructed from high-quality PVC, this stylish railing planter won’t warp, fade, or rot in any climate. Built-in drainage holes prevent root rot, for beautiful plants and happy soil.

Can’t be bothered with live plants? Fill your planters, window boxes, and hanging baskets with always-beautiful blooms from our Artificial Plants collection.

The Nature Lover

English Garden Railing Basket

Do you consider yourself beachy, boho, or somewhere in between? Do you get inspired by nature, and natural materials and textures? Are wood grains, woven details, and raw fibers your vibe? We dig it.

Our handcrafted Newport Cedar Window Box is a natural beauty—and it’s naturally rot- and insect-resistant. The perfect complement to Craftsman houses, cozy cottages, and beach bungalows, these wood window boxes can be left unfinished or painted the color of your choice.

What about your railings? The English Hayrack Railing Planter mixes a sturdy yet decorative wrought iron frame with an all-natural, coconut coir planter liner. The simple bracket design means it installs in seconds, and the powder-coated steel frame is weather- and rust-resistant. Coconut coir liners come standard with it, and keep plants hydrated and soil aerated.

Add greenery at any height with our English Garden Hanging Baskets. Great for when you don’t have a ton of floor space for planters, or you simply want to add another garden accent, these hanging baskets let you express your green thumb with trailing vines, tumbling foliage, bold blossoms—or any plant combination!

The Old-World Fan

Fieldfare Urn

Want the feeling of wandering the rolling hills of Tuscany or strolling the streets of Paris? When picturing your ideal front porch, do you see an Italian villa? If so, these Old-World picks will instantly transport you to your Mediterranean dreamscape.

Classically Grecian in style, the Fieldfare Urn Planter looks like it belongs in an ancient palace. Made to resemble natural stone, but crafted from poly resin, this charming planter is lighter in weight than both stone and concrete. A stunning architectural feature, this textured planter will upgrade any porch or entryway.

You’ll also fall in love with our eye-catching Parisian Window Box. Distinctly European in style, this wrought iron flower box has a gorgeous scrollwork design further accented by terra cotta pots or a coco coir or moss planter liner. Endlessly versatile, this decorative window box can be mounted on windows, railings, walls, or fences.

Complete the Parisian look by adding a Decorative Scroll Hanging Basket Bracket—the perfect spot to mount the hanging basket of your choice.

The Cottage Core Enthusiast

Cottage Weave Window Box

Longing to escape to the countryside? Dreaming of the rural life—or just the rural aesthetic? If the simple romance of cottage style brings you joy, then these picks are for you.

With its textural style that resembles wicker, the Cottage Weave Window Box is what you’d expect to find on a rustic cottage in the woods—but updated for modern spaces. Mount it on a railing or wall, and fill the built-in reservoir for a self-watering planter that lets the plants do the work—wicking up moisture as needed, so they never become waterlogged or suffer root rot.

And did we mention there’s a matching Cottage Weave Hanging Basket? These round hanging planters sport the same woven aesthetic as the window box, and offer the same self-watering system. That means less time watering and more time doing cottage-y things, like making homemade jam or reading a book on your porch cozied under a soft quilt.
