How to protect furniture from terracotta pots – I like terracotta pots, they’re affordable and they’re great for low light homes, because they absorb moisture from the soil. However, since they’re often wet, they can damage wooden furniture.⠀
⠀
What I used originally in this video are so called felt pads. They work great, not only for pots but also for heavy furniture, if you want to protect your floors from scrathes. ⠀
⠀
Since then I’ve discovered something even better – rubber non-slip pads 🙂
