Black Urn

A black urn is a decorative vessel finished in black, traditionally characterised by a rounded body and defined rim or base. In interior and exterior design contexts, black urns are used as statement decorative pieces or as planters, offering a classic silhouette with a contemporary finish. For trade buyers, black urns provide a durable, repeatable decorative solution suitable for hospitality, residential, and commercial projects.

How It’s Used in Commercial & Trade Interiors
Black urns are commonly specified in hotels, restaurants, show homes, offices, and landscaped commercial spaces. They are used in entrance areas, reception spaces, terraces, and interiors as standalone decorative pieces or as planters for artificial or live greenery. Trade buyers value consistent sizing, finish, and form when specifying multiple urns for symmetrical layouts or large-scale installations.

Materials, Design & Build Quality
These urns are typically crafted from ceramic, stone, composite materials, metal, or fibreglass, finished in matte or satin black. Build quality focuses on structural stability, surface durability, and resistance to chipping or wear, particularly in high-traffic environments. For trade buyers, consistency in colour, texture, and proportions is essential when ordering in volume for contract or hospitality settings.

UK-held stock, competitive trade pricing, and reliable manufacturing standards make them suitable for bulk ordering, phased deliveries, and long-term project planning.
