The 7 Best Hanging Planters of 2022

Once you’ve run out of room for plants on your tables and shelves, the next logical place to display new greenery is on the walls and from the ceilings. Hanging planters are not only a functional addition to your home, but they also come in a wide range of stylish designs to suit every taste. Plus, hanging your plants is a great way to keep delicate varieties away from pets or small children.

When choosing a hanging planter, be sure to take into account the size of your plant, as well as how you plan to hang it up. Wall-mounted plant brackets are a good supplementary purchase, as they'll be sturdy and ensure your planter hangs far enough away from the wall, but you can also make do with a hook or other hardware.

Here, the best hanging planters for your home:

For a more natural, bohemian vibe, this hanging rattan planter is definitely the way to go—it would look amazing with a leafy philodendron or oversized spider plant inside!

The planter features a woven basket supported by three wooden rings, all tied together with a corded binding, and it comes in two sizes. The smaller one has a 7-inch opening that would be perfect for a medium-size plant, while the larger planter has a 13-inch opening that can accommodate your biggest greenery.

The downside is that this planter doesn’t include hanging hardware, so you’ll have to purchase that separately.

If you’re willing to put your creative side to work, you can create a one-of-a-kind plant display in these sphere-shaped hanging baskets. All you have to do is line the metal cage with moss, burlap, or another liner, and you’ll be able to fill the basket with soil so your plants can call it home.

There are four planter sizes available, ranging from small (11 inches in diameter) to extra large (a whopping 28 inches in diameter), and all the baskets are hand-forged from steel and given a weathered patina finish, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

This space-inspired planter is as cool as they come. The gold planter features a round bowl that’s 10 inches in diameter, and it’s supported by three matching hoops that mimic Saturn’s rings. It hangs from the ceiling by a gold chain, but you do have to purchase your own hanging hardware to connect the chain to the ceiling.

Nonetheless, this modern design is sure to become a focal point in your home, and if you want to create a cohesive display, don’t forget to scoop up the matching freestanding planter (available at Anthropologie).

Who said terrariums have to live on a tabletop? You can display your favorite succulents all throughout your home using these contemporary glass planters, which have an eye-catching pyramid shape. There’s a metal loop welded to the top for easy hanging, but unfortunately, the terrariums aren’t water-tight, so make sure you take them down before watering—or use them to display air plants, which you can simply mist periodically!
