A square stainless-steel planter sets off spiky spears, a centerpiece good for both indoor or outdoor tables. Cube planters available from chiasso.com.

Swords and spears

  • Dramatic plant swords and spears add bold vertical accents to your decor. Try filling a clear, square vessel with tightly packed variegated flax swords ("duet" or "pink striped" are good varieties to try; the one shown is from mooseyscountrygarden.com), then square off the tops so that they’re all on the same horizontal plane for a minimal-yet-natural cubist display.

  • For an especially exotic and elegant arrangement, try a few spears of fleshy yellow-and-green mother-in-law’s tongue set off-center in a square or rectangular glass container (we like the Zen vases at right, from cb2.com) and held in place with polished stones.
