IKEA's $25 Metal Planter Gives Any Patio Instant Cottage Garden Charm – And It's Big Enough for a Whole Herb Garden

Herbs on a potting bench.

For the longest time I'd been searching for an aged metal planter to give my garden a rustic-feel, but my options have been limited while working on a budget. That was until I stumbled across my dream find in the most unexpected place: IKEA.

I love how herb gardens looked planted up in antiqued metal tubs, but sourcing one large enough can be both difficult and pricey. That's why I was so excited to have found the IKEA KORKGRAN metal planter for just $24.99. It looks like it's straight off my Pinterest board sitting proudly on my patio, with a slightly distressed finish that gives it a timeless feel.
