Summer-Ready Hospitality Entrances

Summer is the peak season for commercial outdoor designs. From the hospitality entrances that invite guests in, to the outdoor amenity decks where people gather and celebrate, summer is the time of year when intentional design decisions truly shine.

This summer, we’re highlighting the outdoor hospitality spaces
curated for those best-of-summer moments. Over the coming weeks, we’re moving through areas that define hospitality experiences, from the entryway to the rooftop, showcasing ideas to make your commercial projects summer-ready.

First up, the entrance, where every guest experience begins.

Commercial Planters That Make an Entrance

Summer guests arrive ready to relax and unwind, and the entrance is the first sign they are in the right place. A hospitality entrance sets the tone for the guest experience, and curating it to the venue’s aesthetic is key to creating the welcoming summer atmosphere they seek.

Planters that complement your design are the ideal addition to your entrance layout. The right commercial planters and plants enhance the atmosphere while directing foot traffic, creating a sense of place, and welcoming guests with an eye-catching, photo-worthy first impression. Plus, since they are lightweight and durable, they can be arranged to fit various footprints and withstand foot traffic—all summer and beyond.

Here are a few design concepts for incorporating outdoor commercial planters into your entrance design.

The Formal Arrival

For spaces with a more traditional look that embrace luxury and elegance, matching commercial outdoor planters in solid, neutral tones do the trick. Symmetry signals order and gives your venue’s entry a formal feeling.

Flank your doorway with our Two-Tone Urban Round Planters or Wilshire Square Fiberglass Planters to highlight the high-end experience guests can expect inside.

The Bold First Impression

For boutique spaces with a unique, artisanal feel, play with different textures and heights for an asymmetrical look that signals an organic, design-forward look. Commercial planters of varying heights add a visual rhythm, while the plants and planter materials provide a welcoming depth and texture to your entrance.

Our Bolinas Planters are available in solid or two-tone color schemes and are manufactured from GFRC concrete, which adds texture and warmth. Other options include our Aquarian Fiberglass Planters or Wilshire Aluminum Round Planters.

The Contemporary Entry

When specifying in spaces with a clean, contemporary aesthetic, rectangular commercial planters bring structure and intention to the entry. Add them to a walkway to create architectural lines that draw the eye to the doorway. Or add a row of rectangular planters in front of sidewalk-facing windows that double as a natural privacy screen for guests inside.

Our Wilshire Rectangle Fiberglass Planters are available in a range of sizes and finishes, from soft neutrals to bold tones, making them a versatile specification for modern exteriors.
