Don’t do all the gardening indoors, one or two flower pots right outside will do the trick. If you’re thinking you don’t have suitable flower pots for outdoors, you may be right but we’ve got you covered. Here are 11 front door flower pots ideas you can use.
Painted Textured Flower Pot
Who wants a boring flower set up? Not you! Plain pots can look drab and can diminish the beauty of your flowers. Nothing adds more character to your setup than textured pots. It could be a Terracotta pot which is great for growing succulents or any other type you can find. Even with the texture on your pot, you can still make things more dramatic with spray paint. Choose a color that fits with the colors of your flowers or blends with your porch.

Antique Crate Planter
Do you know those items that can be used for a thousand different things? Crates happen to be one of them and we love them for that reason. An antique crate planter will do wonders for your front yard. You know those crates with inscribed names on them? That’s exactly what we’re talking about. The fact that they’re antique does not mean they have to look old and worn out. You can buy them brand new from a store. It is also great if you choose to upcycle your old crates.

Galvanized Bucket Planter
Galvanized buckets are multi-purpose and are great to use as planters. The plain look can be a let-down if you’re into bright and bold but it suits a farmhouse style far too easily. You can personalize the planters with handwritten inscriptions using vinyl paint.

Tall Log Planters
This is the planter you need to create the ultimate rustic look. Depending on your DIY skills and how much effort you’re willing to put into maintenance, you can choose to have a real log planter or a faux one. Building your log planter is not so difficult and thankfully, it doesn’t have to look perfect. The more distressed it looks, the better it fits the rustic style. Faux log planters are built as planters with drainage holes and have intricate wood detailing, it’s hard to differentiate. Do you know what’s better than one log planter? Two, placed on each side of your front door.

Milk Can Planter
Upcycling milk cans are one of the ways to contribute to saving the environment. It does have quite a wide range and can look as vintage as you want it or cute and quirky. Your design scheme plays a huge part in this. It is common to see milk can undergo makeovers and you can do that with yours.
