Watering cans

typically tend to fall under the category of household essentials that skew towards the utilitarian—which means that more often than not, they’re not the most attractive or style-focused pieces in the tool shed. And realistically speaking, we would be hard-pressed to splurge on said essential, seeing as its sole purpose is to simply transfer water from point A to point B.

That said, we scoured the market to unearth the watering cans that just may inspire an upgrade—to those who use a water glass in lieu of one, we’re looking at you. From the sleek and contemporary to the chic and budget-friendly, we found the very best of all that is available right now. Take a look.

$40

Less watering can and more of mister, this sleek number definitely deserves a spot on our list. Okay sure, it may be meant for coating the inside of martini glasses with spirits but, it can serve the same purpose for your potted greens—specifically, the ones that require only the most subtle spritz of water. And as a bonus, the mister can live on your bar cart and none will be the wiser.
