If you live in a dry area or just want to save a lot of money on your water bill by harvesting rainwater, a rain barrel is a must. In addition to helping your budget, these hardworking heroes can help make your garden more eco-friendly, too.

But not all rain barrels are beautiful. If you?re looking for one that can add a decorative touch to your garden, check out some of these stylish options:

Terra Cotta Rain Catcher

Don?t worry, it won?t crack! This rainwater urn looks like terra cotta, but it?s actually made from breakage-resistant polyethylene. It features a four-foot hose with a shutoff valve, and a recessed basin where you can stash accessories or display a potted plant. $120.

Lattice Screen

If you?ve already got a not-so-pretty rain barrel, this attractive cover might be the perfect solution. This sturdy three-panel screen made from natural fir will hide your rain collector and add a decorative touch to your garden. Works for composters, too! $129.

Rain Barrel In Disguise
This container looks like a decorative planter, but it?s really a sturdy, water-resistant polyethylene rain barrel that holds up to 40 gallons of water and features a 4-foot garden hose with a shut-off valve, as well as a 3-foot overflow hose. Choose black or white, $199.98.

Plain and Simple

An economical and easy-to-use option, the 45-gallon RainStation barrel includes a planter top that can be used to grow annuals or herbs and a patented FlexiFit diverter that helps prevent flooding and overflows. Since it?s a sealed system, this barrel won?t turn into a mosquito ranch. Better still, it?s made of 85% recycled materials, meaning you?ll be keeping your garden greener with a truly ?green? barrel. $69.99
