What is a Hamptons style planter box?
A Hamptons-style planter box is a classic exterior accessory designed to enhance curb appeal and introduce greenery with clean, coastal charm. One of the first signs a home embraces the Hamptons aesthetic is a tongue and groove planter box flanking the entryway. At Style My Home, we’ve reimagined this essential with a durable, low-maintenance update: Hamptons PVC planter boxes that are built to last outdoors and still deliver timeless elegance.
Why Choose PVC Over Timber for Hamptons Planter Boxes?
Our Hamptons PVC planter boxes are one of our most loved products—and for good reason.
Here’s why they’ve become a customer favourite:
Low maintenance: Unlike timber, PVC won’t rot, peel, or require repainting.
Weather resistant: Designed to withstand full outdoor exposure—rain or shine.
Cost-effective: PVC offers better durability at a more affordable price point.
Timeless design: Our tongue and groove pattern brings a fresh, classic Hamptons look.
“When curating new products, our focus is not just on how beautiful and timeless a piece is, but equally on its durability.” – Style My Home
Where Should I Place My Hamptons PVC Planter Boxes?
The most popular place to style your PVC planter box is by the front door. It’s the perfect way to create a welcoming first impression.
Other great styling ideas include:
Decks & verandahs: Add warmth and colour to your outdoor lounging space.
Poolside zones: Frame a pool area with greenery for a lush coastal vibe.
Apartment balconies: Use the rectangular version to grow herbs or add privacy.
Outdoor dining areas: Soften the space and create ambiance with flowers or foliage.
And yes… nothing says “welcome home” quite like a planter and a pet at the front door!
Available Sizes and Colours
Our Hamptons PVC planter boxes are available in two sizes and two colours:
Sizes:
Square: Perfect for topiaries or feature plants near an entry.
Rectangular: Great for herbs, florals, or narrow balcony spaces.
Colours:
Crisp White: Classic Hamptons freshness.
Dove Grey: A soft alternative for more tonal styling.
Each planter box is also easy to assemble, making them a convenient solution for anyone seeking stylish outdoor décor.
What Should I Plant in a Hamptons Planter Box?
While green foliage like boxed hedges and topiaries is a popular choice, these planters are incredibly versatile. Here are some ideas:
Faux or real topiary balls for structure
Lavender or white hydrangeas for a coastal floral touch
Rosemary, thyme or mint for functional herb gardens
Succulents for modern, low-care impact
Whether it’s your front porch, pool deck, or balcony—these planters deliver form and function.
