Our homes have become even more important this year as we have had to spend more time indoors than usual. Houses and flats have been turned into makeshift offices, schools and gyms, so it is no surprise that there is an ongoing trend of people wanting to bring the outdoors in.

Houseplants have allowed people with no access to outdoor space to surround themselves with greenery and nature, providing them with a much needed energy and positivity boost.

There is also a growing need for interiors to become friendly spaces with a comforting feeling and this is reflected in current design trends. Popular colour schemes consist of warm palettes of light and dark natural and pastel tones to help make people feel grounded. Even a quick browse through Instagram or an interior design magazine will illustrate the growing popularity of the use of colour, with ‘#BantheBeige’ regularly trending on social media.

Leading plant pot manufacturer, elho, recognises the importance of both house plants and colour now more than ever. As such, with its new 2021 collection, it has created a range of indoor plant pots to tap into this soft colour trend, to help people create homes that make them feel comfortable and at ease.

The new vibes range of indoor pots has an organic, textured finish, being ribbed both outside and in. The slightly rounded body and decorative pattern utilise natural and soft shapes to reflect the beauty of nature, creating a sense of calm. This is elevated by the use of four new soft shades – butter yellow, delicate pink, deep blue and silky white. The pots can be grouped together, one of each colour, to create a fashionable, eclectic look, or single pots can be used to create a subtle colour-pop against more neutral backdrops. Each of the colours helps to create a harmonious, friendly ambience however they are used, whilst being the perfect home for houseplants, which even have the option of including self-watering inserts.

The brussels diamond provides an alternative design element to interior house-planting. The sleekly designed, high quality flowerpot brings out the best in flowers and plants with its beautiful lustre giving it a sophisticated touch. It comes in a variety of colours including shimmering lilac, velvet violet and oyster pearl, so it can complement any interior style.

With nights drawing in, plants need to be given a helping hand to give them the best chance of survival over the winter months to help maintain their beauty. elho has this covered with the leaf light care which includes a unique 15h-cycle light to keep plants happy by providing the exact right amount of light, even in the darkest corners of the house. It even has an extendable stick that grows with the plant.
