Here are some ways you can use them to upgrade any area, according to Simply Calla:

Use callas on balconies. For those with limited space, calla lilies can work wonders on a balcony by hanging them in your favorite corner. Plant them in pots or planters that complement your existing decor. Their upright growth and shape can make a huge difference, even when placed in small spaces. Arrange a few calla lily pots around a cozy seating area to add a touch of sophistication and a swash of color, making your balcony the perfect spot for summer relaxation.

In a garden setting, calla lilies can be used to create eye-catching focal points. Plant them along garden paths, around water features, or in mixed flower beds where their forms can stand out against other greens. Their varied colors allow you to play with different garden designs, from monochromatic to a riot of summer colors.

Calla lilies love to be featured on terraces where they can be the stars of container gardens. Use large, decorative pots to make statement pieces, or group smaller pots together for a more layered look. Their tall shape can add height and drama to your terrace garden, making it an inviting space for entertaining or unwinding on warm summer evenings.

Boosting Indoor Spaces

Calla lilies are not just for outdoor beauty. They can also adjust well indoors with the right care. Place them in areas with bright, indirect light, such as near windows or in sunrooms. A single calla lily plant in a decorative pot can become a great centerpiece on a coffee table or sideboard. Their sleekness can decorate your living space's aesthetic, making it feel fresh and inviting.
