If you’re keen to discover unconventional ways to decorate your garden this autumn, why not take a look at utilising reclaimed chimney pots? These old pots can become really stunning garden features, due to their atypical designs and vintage aesthetics. Below, Cawarden Brick & Tile Co. has offered four uses for reclaimed chimney pots that are sure to please the garden designer in you.

 
 

Planters
Nowadays, it is all the rage to use reclaimed materials, such as old bottles or railways sleepers, as planters for your garden. Reclaimed chimney pots can also look remarkable as potted planters, particularly when in contrast to a wildly coloured flower sprouting over the rim of the pot. By dotting a couple of chimney pots around the garden, you are instantly brightening up the area and creating visually eye-catching features.

Spray paint the pots
In their own merit, reclaimed chimney pots carry an authentic, vintage feel that cannot be replicated. However, by simply giving the pots a spray with a distinct colour, such as copper or silver, could bring a whole new aesthetic to your garden. Experiment with colour by using temporary spray paints, or embrace a holiday theme such as Halloween or Christmas for a fun twist.

Large candle holder
Ideal for creating a smooth ambience even at night, slotting a large candle into the hole of the reclaimed chimney pot will keep your garden light and appealing even as autumn settles in. This decorative statement could also be used indoors with slightly smaller chimney pots for the same effect.

Ice bucket
Need a place to pop your champagne whilst you’re celebrating in the garden with friends? Simply line your the inside of your chimney pot with a clean layer of tarpaulin (or a tough material that’s similar), fill with large cubes of ice, and pop in your bottle. And there you have it! A ready-made, alternative ice bucket that is both functional and stylish at your disposal.

Ultimately, the purchase and use of a reclaimed chimney pot will work wonders for improving the overall atmosphere and appearance of your garden.
