Would you paint these concrete planters?

[Kellie]

Looking for advice please. My new apartment has these concrete planters on the courtyard/patio. I'm concerned they look a little unfinished. Do you think they would look better if I painted them? I know the concrete look is very much on trend but I think they look a bit ordinary at the moment. Thanks!

I think a satin white would go well on the planters.

Maybe choose a colour that ties in with the inside furnishings

I’m concerned about the safety of the planters given they may enable a  person (child?) to climb over the hand rail and pose a risk for falls.

That's a great suggestion to tie the pots' colour scheme in with those of the interior.
