Glass terrariums have been a beloved feature of mindful interiors for decades — small, self-contained worlds that bring a living miniature garden into any room. Ours are built around tung wood bases in natural and dark finishes, with geometric forms that catch the light beautifully throughout the day. Whether you are drawn to the clean lines of a cube or the soft curve of a ball top, each one is designed to hold a planted display that feels both calm and alive.
What you will find in this collection
Our terrariums are handmade glass gardens in a range of shapes and sizes. The larger pieces — including the Large Ball Top on Dark Tung Wood and the Large Octagon — work well on sideboards, shelves, or mantels where they have room to breathe. The smaller and medium pieces are ideal for bedside tables, windowsills, or grouped together on a shelf for a living display. Shapes range from the Geometric Terrarium Cube on Corner to the open, airy Terrarium Lantern Shape, each one designed to frame a small planted scene.
Choosing the right size and form
Think about where your terrarium will live. A Large or Extra-Large Ball Top on Dark Tung Wood makes a strong statement on its own, while a trio of smaller pieces — the Small, Mini, and Medium on Natural Tung Wood — can be arranged together for a layered, naturalistic look. Dark tung wood bases bring a grounded, earthy tone that suits boho interiors and darker wood furniture; natural tung wood reads lighter and works well with rattan, linen, and neutral schemes. If you love structure, the Pentagon and Octagon forms add a geometric quality that feels both modern and timeless.
Styling your terrarium
A glass terrarium works beautifully as a piece of indoor plant décor on its own, but it also pairs naturally with other slow-living pieces. Try placing one alongside a set of Boho Cushions on a low shelf, or let a Lantern Shape terrarium anchor a reading corner alongside a Wind Chime hung nearby. They complement Boho Bedspreads & Wall Tapestries with the same organic warmth, and they sit comfortably alongside Parasol Décor in a sunroom or conservatory. Keep them somewhere with indirect light, and water sparingly — the enclosed glass environment holds moisture naturally.
Frequently asked questions
Do the terrariums come with plants already planted?
No — these are the terrarium vessels only, built with a glass vessel and a tung wood base. You add your own plants, moss, and gravel to create a miniature garden that suits your taste. This also means you can refresh the display whenever you like, changing the plants with the seasons.
What plants work well inside a glass terrarium?
Closed glass terrariums favour moisture-loving plants such as ferns, mosses, baby tears, and small succulents in an open form. A layer of gravel at the base aids drainage, followed by a thin layer of charcoal and then compost. Because the environment is humid, less frequent watering is needed — only when the soil appears dry.
How do I clean the glass and wood base?
Wipe the glass with a soft, damp cloth and dry it with a lint-free cloth. For the tung wood base, a light wipe with a barely damp cloth is sufficient — avoid soaking the wood or using harsh cleaners, as this may affect the finish over time.
Are these suitable for outdoors?
They are primarily designed for indoor plant décor. If used outdoors in a sheltered spot, they should be brought inside during cold or wet weather to protect both the glass and the wood base from the elements.
What is tung wood and why is it used for the bases?
Tung wood is a durable, naturally beautiful hardwood traditionally used in furniture and craft. It takes a finish well and develops a warm patina over time. Our bases are available in a natural finish and a dark finish, both chosen to complement the glass vessels and suit a range of interior styles.
