Hello! Last summer I used simple chalk paint to brighten up some planters on my patio. It was quick and easy, and has held up well. You can see them here: http://momhomeguide.com/?s=Chalk+pots+ Good luck!
Marigolds, Geraniums, Nasturtium, Dwarf Zinnia, Petunias, Mexican Daisy, lot of choices -- I like Million Bells, but they take a lot of water for a plant grown in full sun! https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/million-bells/calibrachoa-million-bells.htm
Use bright colored pots and match your plantings
Make your own unique and pretty planters with repurposed items you find at thrift stores or yard sales. Here's some I've made:

I would say take to Pinterest. I have seen so many ideas there.
sounds like a great idea I love pots of Calibrachoa mixed in with short zinnias and trailing ivy. Easy to care for they love the sun and you can create several in a variety of nice colors.
Before I forget if you're looking for an easy to build planter box you may like this tutorial

You can buy very pretty resin pots at all of the big box stores. I like these because they are not so heavy! Here is a photo of my resin pot with variegated ivy and cora bells. This is it's second year outside!
I don't know where you live, but this one was left out on the front step through freezing weather and 2 snows! Of course we do not get anywhere near zero! You can put in Caladium and ivy for a beautiful pot you do not have to worry with except to water!
Thank you ever. Super ideas. Going to repurpowe some pots. Will post when I get it done.
