9 amazing ideas to turn bicycles into beautiful planters

One of the most popular and widespread ideas, especially in the field of outdoors decorations, is to transform bicycles into flower boxes / planters. There is such a wide range of bikes and flower varieties to choose from and styles to be inspired by, that anyone can find a way to tailor this idea to their needs.

And there are those who decide, instead, to furnish the interior of their homes in this way, transforming bare corners of the house, or even blank walls. It is a very creative idea, and it never risks becoming boring or banal, because of the ways you can personalize them. We have collected for you some unique variations of this idea from which you can draw inspiration to create your own project.

A classic of this trend, is the white painted bicycle with flower pots in pastel colors set on both the handlebars and the saddle.

Following a slightly retro style, you can get an old iron bike and place some flowering plants on it, in an orderly and minimalist way, of course.

Then there is the country style, which is a little bucolic and never goes out of fashion. A bike leaning against a tree, as if it were abandoned, with a straw basket set over the rear wheel, and which contains lavender or wildflowers, is very cute. It will give  a deliberately casual effect, but with a strong visual impact.

For a more spectacular look, transform the bike into a flowerbed covered with flowers and greenery. Like this, you can only see the wheels (which have been painted in a color to match that of the flowers). Add other elements around it, such as additional flower pots and / or wading boots (which can also be used as planters). The effect will be that of a work of art.

For a truly spectacular look, try a monochromatic method. By painting the bike the exact same color as the flowers and any other items you add, the visual impact will be stunning.

And why not hang a bike that has been transformed into a planter on a wall in the home? By adding hanging or climbing plants, the "picture effect" is achieved.

You can even consider of hanging up only a part of the bike. By having the front end of a bike protrude from the wall, for example, its three-dimensionality will make everything even more spectacular.

And how about using an old tricycle that your children no longer use as a planter? The result will be enchanting and the impact of the memories past will add further value.

The last point suggestion deals with using only the bike's wheels as plant holders. This is also very widespread idea, but is always a source of joy for those who have done this.

As you can see, if you have read this far, the creative possibilities for using this bike-centred method of decoration are incredibly varied. You just need to experiment to find one that's right for you.
