Create some contrast
the box hedges neatly trimmed work perfectly with the rather intelligent façade of this house of Chelsea Victorian town and its traditional tiled entrance, black door and wrought iron fence and gate.
But then the owners have had fun and created a stark contrast to the formality and order, by injecting color shaped pink flowers cascading clouds loose on the edges of containers and on tile checkerboard

This is a fabulous idea for a deck or patio, creating a mass of foliage in a small, all white space (ideal if you have no all the earth or lawn to speak of).
The rusty iron window boxes planted with fragrant lavender plants that can waft inside when the windows are open. Then add an "artistic" prosper with horizontal "pot hangers" filled with emerald green foliage spilling onto white surfaces.

fill the gaps
More is often better when it comes to planting container so feel free to max on the foliage, the plant size and color. Avoid large differences between plants and, if possible, incorporate a whole year, the skeleton evergreen trees that can be refreshed, seasonal, with new bedding plants.

A clean and symmetrical arrangement of clipped, globes box, sitting in the custom metal "balconies" is spot on for this chip, urban façade.
The choice of plants harmonizes well with the laurels pot, bottom, and offers enough free diet-maintenence throughout the year.
Just do not forget to water!

go to pot pots
This is a rather charming alternative to traditional window box - and works well if you want to animate a shed or outbuilding.
a fixed, singular window box has been replaced by a pair of shelves lined with a profusion of potted plants in all kinds of shape, color and size. And remember such a beautiful bedding plants screen can easily be taken inside when the display is complete.

Create a fat blend
a staggered arrangement of bedding plants is perfect for this modern, casual look. The choice of flowers and color mixing (I love the band of rich purple pansies) is not too formal, but also the flowers does not spill over too haphazard to undermine the pleasant feeling of symmetry.
Make sure the plants standing in the back are not so small that you can not see inside, but then, too, and light in the house will be seriously reduced.

Be smart box
size is important and you should aim for a minimum depth and width of 20cm for your box. Any less, and your plants dry out too quickly.
secure attachment is also essential, and ensure screws and brackets are strong enough to support the weight of the box.
I really like the simplicity of this display evergreen where, crisp white box offers a simple against the silvery bushes muted and soft gray painted coating.

Look for the sun
the positioning is key. Sunny windows are usually the best place for a floral display well shade plants such as begonia can create eyecatching display against a north facing wall.
This mixture of yellow, brown and green plants is clean, gentle and unassuming and does not outweigh the impact of the azure blue wooden shutters.
