From modern to Mediterranean: this is how to combine Corten steel in any garden style

From modern to Mediterranean: this is how to combine Corten steel in any garden style

Your garden is an extension of yourself, your home and your personality. The style you choose sets the mood and look, which is why it is important that your garden is a place that suits you completely, no matter what style you choose. From modern to Mediterranean and Baltic to Japanese, with Corten steel you create the perfect combination of durability and design. 

Modern garden: clean lines & minimalist 

The charm of a modern garden lies in its simplicity and emphasis on geometric shapes and is therefore often characterized by clean lines and materials such as concrete or steel. But, with the rust color of corten steel you add just that little bit of warmth while perfectly reflecting the modern atmosphere. 

With square and rectangular planters you define your outdoor space with tranquility and harmony. You can use them to create a sleek entrance or as a separation between grass and terrace. But of course, you can also use a Corten steel retaining wall to easily bridge height differences and create a sleek, low-maintenance look.

A Baltic-style garden: nature-oriented and functional

A Baltic garden reflects the serene simplicity of nature. You create an environment that exudes relaxation by emphasizing functional beauty and the use of natural materials, such as wood and Corten steel. The rugged look of Corten steel contrasts but also blends well with the light, natural Baltic color palette. Combining Corten steel with ornamental grasses, ferns, herbs or wildflowers in loose groups creates a wild, nostalgic atmosphere.

Since the Baltic garden style is characterized by natural shapes, tones and simplicity, octagonal or hexagonal planters are a perfect match. The planters playfully blend in with the wild shapes found in nature. Combine them with quiet, green plantings, and break the lines of traditional gardens. 

Japanese gardens: an oasis of harmony

The Japanese garden is a sanctuary of serenity and reflection. Each element is thoughtfully placed and contributes to a sense of balance. Here, Corten steel products add value through their subtle yet powerful presence. Use corten steel border edging to create a clear and harmonious transition between gravel paths and carefully selected plantings. 

Tapered corten steel planters add a modern twist to these traditional garden designs. Place an ornate Japanese maple in the container and enjoy the way the color change of the corten steel accentuates the tree's seasonal changes. 

Mediterranean garden: a combo of Southern European colors 

Bring the vacation feeling into your garden with a Mediterranean design. The combination of Corten steel with traditional Mediterranean elements such as lavender, terracotta pots and natural stone creates a warm look. The deep rust hues of Corten steel enhance the natural beauty of sunny borders and fragrant plants. 

Create an inviting lounge area with our L-shaped planters. They envelop your seating area, creating an inviting intimate setting. Or bring a touch of flair with large Corten steel planters filled with olive or lemon trees for that authentic vacation feel. 

With Planters of Steel you don't just create a garden, you create your personal sanctuary, a place where you can escape daily from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Our Corten steel products are built to inspire and transform.
