Most planter advice assumes outdoors. Inside, three of the usual rules invert, and getting them the right way round matters more than which model you pick.
Indoor planters and drainage: the rule reverses
Indoors you usually want no drainage holes at all. Outdoors a planter without drainage is a liability. Indoors a planter with drainage is one, because whatever leaves the bottom lands on a floor. This is why we do not drill unless you ask.
Use a liner or a nursery pot instead. The standard interior arrangement is a plant kept in its nursery pot, dropped inside the decorative planter, sitting on a layer of filler so it is not standing in its own runoff. It also makes swapping a tired plant trivial.
If you do want drainage indoors — for a conservatory floor that can take it, say — Jay Scotts add holes free of charge at order time, and a drilled planter is final sale.
Scale against a room, not a landscape
Outdoors a planter competes with a garden. Indoors it competes with furniture, and the useful comparison is a piece of joinery rather than a shrub. A 24 inch planter reads as a side table; a 48 inch one reads as a column.
Height beside seating. Around 16 to 24 inches keeps planting at eye level for someone sitting down, which is where most interior planting actually gets looked at.
Height in circulation. Thirty two inches and above reads standing, and starts to divide an open plan space without closing it.
Every exterior dimension, interior opening and empty weight is published on the specifications page.
Weight on a finished floor
Fiberglass is the reason large interior planters are practical at all. Empty weights here are a fraction of ceramic or concrete at the same size, so a piece can be repositioned without a trolley and without a conversation about floor loading.
Still put something underneath. A planter sitting directly on timber, stone or a finished screed will mark it over time, drainage or not, because moisture collects under the base. Feet, a stand or a mat solve it.
What we do not carry
Small pots. The smallest pieces here are sill scale. For a desktop or a shelf, a specialist in small ceramics will serve you better.
Plants. We supply the planter. Whoever supplies the plant will want the interior opening figure to match a nursery pot to it, which is why we publish it for every size.
Self-watering systems. These are plain vessels. A liner and a sensible watering routine does the same job with fewer parts to fail.
Finish
All thirty-two are finished to order in any of the 20 standard colors across matte, gloss, satin and metallic, or a custom match. Indoors the finish reads much more strongly than outside, because the light is even and you see it from close range: a gloss becomes a reflective object, a matte recedes. Custom color orders are final sale.
