Window box planters offer practically endless benefits. For starters, they can up your home's curb appeal by adding color and depth to its exterior. Inside, they come in handy when the only well-lit area you can keep your plants in is on your window sill. They can also liven up a coffee table or kitchen counters. And you don't have to be a big plant person to use them either. You can use one as the base for a DIY table centerpiece filled with candles and faux flowers. Or if you want to get really creative, you can use one to organize anything from bathroom products to kitchen spices.
