Investing in some high-quality planters will save you money in the long run because you won't need to replace them as often, if at all. It's tough to get more durable than concrete containers, which also lend a sophisticated, neutral element to your indoor and outdoor spaces. However, concrete is heavy, which makes it tough on backs whenever you need to move your planter from one place to the next. Instead, try faux concrete planters that look and feel like the real thing, yet are more lightweight and less expensive. Available in an array of sizes, shapes, and colors, the options below will give your home and garden a modern upgrade.

The Faux Concrete Planter Urn by Linda Vater can be used both indoors and outside.

This weather and fade resistant planter is about 13 inches tall and 15 inches in diameter. It weighs only 15 pounds and comes in a terracotta color that is easy to match with various decor styles.

Bonus is the UV protection built into the planter, which helps to prevent chipping or fading.
