I’ve been drooling over indoor herb gardens and salad walls for a while. So, I thought I’d root around for some sprouts of inspiration. Indoor herb gardens bring a natural splash of colour to a kitchen space. They also infuse the room with appetising aromas even before you whip out the pans.
Salad walls are also a brilliant way to add a quirky creative touch to a cooking space. Endless possibilities range from rustic planters decorated in chalkboard paint for labelling, to vertical plant walls and self-watering designs.
Vertical Plant Walls:
If your wallet is burning a hole in your apron, you might like to indulge in a vertical plant wall installation. BloomWall planter walls have self-watering technology, which is perfect if you’re already busy watering your kids/pets/partner/self to bother with another thirsty individual.
This ingenious product is stackable and works as one product no matter how many sections you have. You can cover a whole wall with it, without any worries about filling up the extra reservoirs. These can be used for indoor and outdoor plants, herbs, and salad crops such as cut-and-come-again lettuce, compact chilli peppers, and tumbling tomatoes.
Herb Planters With LEDs:
If you’d love greenery in your kitchen but light conditions aren’t ideal, a Click and Grow Garden Kit is a smart solution. Integrated LED lights ensure that plants thrive even in the shadiest corner, and it’s self-watering to boot.
Just fill the water reservoir, drop in the provided plant pods, and plug it in. You’ll be livening up recipes with fresh basil and little effort in next to no time at all.
Window Boxes:
This Handmade Oak and Slate Planter has a beautiful natural finish that would add just the right eco-essence to a minimalist kitchen design. Three slate markers come along with the planter so you can label up your herbs, or why not make things a little more interesting by getting a bit arty? Personalise your planter with a favourite mantra in creative typography, or doodle a pattern.
Concrete Herb Planters:
These Concrete Planters are beyond cute. Use them for your herbs, use them for your succulents, I don’t care just use them! Top off the pots with a bed of white stones to achieve a clean minimalist aesthetic that complements the chalky, debossed design. The only problem will be deciding which room is going to get these little beauties.
Hanging Herb Planters
If you don’t have bench space or open kitchen shelving, install hanging herb planters. These black hanging plant pots have a stark minimalist appearance that suits any setting. Consider hanging them directly in front of your kitchen window where they will get plenty of sunlight.
