You’ve probably jumped on the “more is more” plant craze by now, stocking every living room shelf and deck ledge with potted greenery. However, if you want to make a statement with your ficus, succulents, or tiny palms, a plant stand outdoor—or many arranged in a tight arrangement—is the way to go. Mixing it up with plant stands of various types and heights is how to achieve a professional aesthetic that isn’t too generic, similar to making an accent wall. We’ve compiled a list of our favorite plant stand alternatives on the market, so keep reading for our top picks.
Top 10 Best Plant Stands for Your Home in 2021
Traditional plant stands appear to be divided into two types: those that are low to the ground and fit just one large pot, and those that are more bookshelf-style bamboo structures with a few shelves that may store a variety of smaller plants. Both designs may be attractive and practical, but they are also somewhat restrictive. Fortunately, outdoor plant stands for multiple plants may be any object on which you can place a plant, and a quick search on the internet will reveal that you can put plants on a variety of objects. If you have a medium-sized plant dangling from the edge of your windowsill, why not place it on top of a seat, a bar cart, or floating shelves?
If you’re a bit of a plant hoarder, with every square inch of floor and table surfaces filled, you can better arrange your collection using mobile utility carts, shoe benches, or bookshelves. Whatever type of “stand” you select, you’ll want something with an open design to let in light, as well as something that can sustain a reasonable amount of weight and withstand the occasional water spill. We’ve collected together some of our favorite plant stands, as well as some end tables, step stools, art supply carts, wooden crates, and other items that are perfect for displaying plants.
What to Think About
Indoor plant stands for multiple plants are a wonderful home addition, and picking the ideal alternative for you is primarily determined by personal style, the amount of space available, and the size of the plant. The first essential consideration is whether the outdoor plant stands for multiple plants will be used indoors (or both). Plant supports are often composed of metal (sometimes powder-coated to avoid corrosion) or wood, which is occasionally treated to withstand moisture. Aside from that, there is a broad range of sizes and designs available, ranging from midcentury modern to contemporary to classic.
