Perfect Pairings: How Habitudes™ Architectural Pottery Complements Living Walls in Biophilic DesignPost
Bring Life Full Circle: Pairing Pottery with Living Walls
There’s something deeply satisfying about balance—especially in design. At Elevation Living Walls, we specialize in biophilic design that transforms walls into lush, living surfaces. But lately, more designers, architects, and homeowners are asking: How do we complete the story? The answer: architectural pottery.
Introducing Habitudes™, our signature line of curated, statement-making pottery, designed to pair perfectly with our living wall systems to create cohesive experiences. It’s not just about plants on the wall—it’s about curating a layered, immersive experience of indoor greenery, organic texture, and sustainable elegance.
Biophilic Design, Grounded in Form and Function
Biophilic design thrives on visual rhythm and sensory richness. Living walls climb vertically, drawing the eye upward and refreshing the space with movement, color, and clean air. But pairing them with freestanding pottery introduces grounding elements—moments of stillness and form at eye level or below.
Whether placed near entryways, along walkways, or flanking a wall installation, Habitudes™ pottery reinforces the aesthetic with pieces that evoke hand-carved stone, organic silhouettes, or time-worn patinas. These planters not only enhance design appeal, they add layers of utility—housing larger specimens, specimen trees, or even edibles for indoor or patio use.
Why Pottery + Living Walls is the Future of Interior and Outdoor Design
Spatial Balance and Proportion
While living walls offer height and lush texture, pottery anchors the room with mass and symmetry. Use oversized vessels in groupings to frame a green wall or define a garden lounge. It creates a visual conversation between vertical and horizontal elements—something every designer strives to achieve.
Seasonal Flexibility
Unlike living walls, which remain fixed in place, pottery can be repositioned, replanted, or rotated with the seasons. This brings a dynamic quality to the environment. Imagine pairing a tropical living wall with cool-toned pottery in summer and rich, earthy vessels in winter. With Habitudes™, you’re not locked into a single look.
Material Harmony
Our Habitudes™ collection includes hand-finished, imported ceramic pots that echo the natural materials and refined textures found in our living wall systems. This creates a cohesive and intentional aesthetic—especially when the finishes complement nearby flooring, millwork, or wall textures.
Both Elevation Living Walls and Habitudes™ are rooted in sustainable design principles. Our living wall system is made in the USA, and our pottery is crafted with durable stoneware meant to last decades. It’s style that’s built to endure—and reduce waste.
Designing with both living walls and pottery taps into multiple wellness benefits. Indoor greenery improves air quality, reduces stress, and enhances cognitive function. The tactile, earthy feel of handmade pottery complements this by bringing grounding energy into a space—especially in high-traffic or high-stress areas like lobbies, lounges, or personal retreats.
Where We Shine: Customization and Curation
Every space tells a story. Whether you’re working on a luxury residential, hospitality, or commercial interior, our team works with you to curate the right combination of living wall systems and architectural pottery.
We consider:
Color palettes and how plant tones harmonize with glazes
Light levels to ensure plants thrive in both walls and pots
Focal points and how to create rhythm using elevation changes
Client lifestyles—from low-maintenance succulents to edible kitchen gardens
With Elevation Living Walls, it’s not just about installing greenery—it’s about crafting living experiences.
Final Thoughts: Design That Grows With You
When living walls meet architectural pottery, something beautiful happens. Spaces don’t just look better—they feel better. They come alive. Plants that are used in the wall can be introduced into pottery so a cohesive design narrative emerges.
At Elevation Living Walls, our mission is to help people connect with nature through intelligent, elegant, and elevated design. Pairing our vertical systems with Habitudes™ pottery offers a powerful and artful way to experience biophilic design in full dimension.
