At IKEA, even the most practical items are approached with thoughtful design. Whether you're watering your indoor plants, styling your kitchen shelf, or adding charm to a window ledge, IKEA's range of watering cans and decorative jugs offers both form and function in equal measure.

One of the most striking designs is ÄRTBUSKE, a green watering can created by designer Bruno Adrien Aguirre. Its bold, sculptural form is inspired by the cactus, and it's more than just a watering can – it also works beautifully as a decorative vase. It's playful, modern, and an unexpected visual highlight in any room.
If you prefer something more traditional, IKEA also offers a retro-style pale green watering can with two handles. Its rounded, vintage shape and soft color make it ideal for those who love a nostalgic or country-inspired garden aesthetic.
For a more contemporary option, VATTENKRASSE is a true standout. Available in navy blue, grey, and off-white, it features a long spout for precise watering and a refined golden metal handle. Compact and stylish, it looks great in modern homes and is functional enough for everyday plant care.
A more neutral and clean option is SALLADSKÅL, a beige watering can with light wooden handles. Its clean lines and soft color palette make it a natural addition to Scandinavian interiors. Designed for both aesthetics and practicality, it's perfect for indoor plant lovers who appreciate subtle design.
Also worth highlighting is SOCKERÄRT, a cream-colored ceramic jug that blends seamlessly into both rustic and modern settings. IKEA lists it as both a jug and a vase, making it incredibly versatile. Whether you fill it with fresh flowers, dried branches, or leave it empty on a shelf, SOCKERÄRT adds timeless charm and character to your space.

If you live in a small apartment or simply want to add a touch of greenery without taking up too much space, the IKEA ÅKERBÄR greenhouse is a clever solution.
