Planters do more than just hold plants. They enhance the ambience, improve air quality, and can complement a hotel's architectural style. For instance:

• A Welcoming Entrance: Large planters flanking the main doors create an inviting first impression.

• Enhancing Outdoor Spaces: Rooftop terraces, courtyards, or patio dining areas feel more luxurious with strategically placed greenery.

• Privacy and Partitioning: Tall planters can act as natural dividers, offering guests privacy in open areas like lobbies or outdoor lounges.

Many top hotels around the UK and beyond have embraced planters to great effect. The Ham Yard Hotel in London, for example, uses a mix of extra large planters filled with lush greenery to soften its urban surroundings and create a tranquil oasis.

Zinc Planters

Zinc planters have gained popularity in hospitality design for several compelling reasons:

1. Durability: Zinc is a robust material resistant to rust and corrosion, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.

2. Modern Aesthetic: The sleek, industrial look of zinc complements contemporary hotel designs, blending seamlessly with glass, wood, and steel.

3. Lightweight Yet Sturdy: Unlike stone or ceramic planters, zinc planters are relatively lightweight, making them easier to move and position.

4. Customisation Options: Zinc planters can be powder-coated in various colours, from classic black or white to bespoke hues that match a hotel’s branding. Check out the large range we have at Planters.co.uk for inspiration.

How to Choose the Right Zinc Planters for Your Hotel

When selecting zinc planters for your hotel, consider the following factors:

• Size and Scale: Large planters make a bold statement, while smaller ones are perfect for tabletops or window sills.

• Shape: Rectangular planters work well for defining spaces, whereas round or oval planters are more inviting.

• Finish: Opt for a zinc finish for a polished, modern feel or a corten steel or wooden planter for something more industrial or rustic.

• Drainage: Ensure proper drainage to maintain the health of the plants and prevent water damage. All Planters.co.uk planters come with built in drainage system, check the product descriptions.

Tips for Using Planters Effectively

• Mix Heights and Textures: Combine tall planters with cascading foliage for a layered look.

• Seasonal Displays: Update plants seasonally to keep the space looking fresh and relevant.

• Complement the Colour Palette: Use plants and planter finishes and colours that match or contrast harmoniously with your hotel’s interiors.
