5 Commercial Planter Trends for Creating Warm, Inviting Entrances for Autumn
Fall is one of the coziest seasons of the year. From sipping hot apple- and cinnamon-flavored beverages to carving pumpkins and cozying up on chilly nights with loved ones, it’s a great season for all to enjoy. While some hot weather is still lingering in various parts of the country, most regions are having cooler evening lows and daytime highs, signaling fall’s arrival. You’ve likely noticed some homes in your neighborhood or storefronts are starting to decorate for fall.
Most businesses display some form of fall decor, whether small or grand displays, incorporating mums, cornstalks, and hay for an autumn vibe. If you manage landscaping for a restaurant or hotel, own a store, or manage a commercial property, adding fall blooms to your decor is a great way to create a warm, inviting entrance and attract passersby. Keep reading to learn 5 commercial planter trends for creating warm, inviting autumnal entrances.
5 Commercial Planter Trends for Fall
Adding fall blooms to your commercial property’s entrance can attract passersby and customers, ultimately positively influencing customer experience. Research suggests that attractive landscaping and greenery can positively influence how consumers perceive a commercial property and their intentions to patronize it and leave reviews.
Below are 5 commercial planter trends for fall to attract even more customers:
Texture-Focused Arrangements
Rather than focusing on flowers and fall tones alone, a recent trend for commercial planters is incorporating texture-focused arrangements. To spruce up your commercial planters this fall, opt for mixing and matching different plant heights and leaf shapes to add texture while still maintaining a polished look. Adding plants like ornamental grasses can perfectly contrast foliage colors and textures like mums, attracting customers.
Define Spaces
Did you know that you can use your commercial planter for more than decoration? Your extra-large commercial planters can be used as functional barriers for defining spaces while still adding seasonal blooms your guests can enjoy. For example, placing large planters around your entrance can separate it from your patio space, giving guests additional privacy while still giving a polished appearance.
Layered Fall Plantings
Nothing stands out at a business’s entrance quite like layered plantings, especially when they contain vibrant fall hues. Consider pairing lower ornamental grasses like autumn moor grass or blue fescue with taller plants like tall asters or swamp sunflowers. Having a mix of shorter and taller plantings gives a layered look that draws passersby to your entrance.
Cold-Tolerant Plant Combinations
While it might not feel like it yet, cooler fall weather will be here before you know it, with colder overnight temperatures. Some summer annuals can tolerate cooler weather but will eventually die off once cold weather arrives. Planting cold-tolerant plant combinations will make your entrance stand out and require less maintenance to keep them looking fresh since they’ll be hardy to colder weather.
Large Statement Planters
Another great way to create a warm, inviting entrance on your commercial property is to place large statement planters both outside and inside your entrance. Using planters as visual anchors in your building’s design is an excellent way to attract potential customers and passersby, simply because they act as visual anchors by complementing your color scheme, aesthetic, and more.
Fall often means rich, dark blooms like mums and pansies will be on display as we near the holiday season. Though these stunning plants sport orange, red, and yellow fall hues, they won’t last all season long without an insulated commercial planter from PolyMade.
Why Incorporate PolyMade Commercial Planters into Your Property?
Are your shrubs, flowers, and other plants currently growing directly in the landscape around your property? Maybe you’ve also filled your commercial space with basic plants purchased from big-box retailers. While these planters seem convenient, they’re not built for the demands of a commercial environment or severe weather. They’re often associated with poor drainage and inconsistent soil conditions, and extreme weather can leave plants struggling and may require replacing both plants and planters more often than expected.
PolyMade’s commercial planters are built around each client, custom-made to echo the geometry of your brand’s logo or a statement-scale vessel to anchor a commercial landscape near your entrance. With vast color options, easy shipping and installation, choosing a PolyMade planter not only creates a warm, inviting display for your entrance but also protects your plants and investment.
Our planter design protects plants in several ways:
They aid in moisture retention and drainage
They have a UV finish to reduce stress on plants
They offer temperature stability
They’re weatherproof
They have a lower lifetime cost than alternatives
