They can also be used for everything from storing blankets, magazines and knitting to toys and kitchen utensils. The uses are endless. The range available is impressive and Holt offers inspirational designs for every situation in many shapes and sizes.

Galvanised containers

Tips:
- Choose pot cover colours as a dinner party colour-theme and bring in potted plants to make a green centrepiece.
- Learn a new skill and make macrame hangers for pots to hang or use hanging planter baskets. Using more of the vertical space makes a room more complete.
- Add a more playful vibe to a corner with brighter colours and bolder shapes with pot covers.
- A shelf painted the same shade as the wall is the perfect place to add a line of potted plants in pot covers mixed with natural baskets and décor items.
- Go seasonal with flowering indoor plants like bulbs packed onto an entrance table. Each season will then present a different look to guests or just to please yourself.
- Use large pot covers in the same colour to make a room divider.
- Display plants on different levels and don’t forget the floor. Make use of pot stands to get different levels.
