6 Creative DIY Plant Stand Ideas

DIY Plant Stand Ideas



An easy way to add plants to any corner of your home, inside or out. Elevate your houseplants by adding visual appeal to any room with our collection of custom plant stands. While you may choose to purchase a stand from the store, these custom plant stands allow you to get your hands dirty with a DIY project and use easily found materials like dowels, paint, and recycled wire tomato cages. Here are some of our favorite DIY plant stand ideas that will breathe new life into your home.


1 Modern Outdoor Plant Stand



This easy-to-make geometric plant stand is a fun project you can complete in a day. To make it, cut plywood into 22x22 inch squares. Trace and cut a circle in the middle of a board to hold a bucket. Once you've glued the plywood pieces together to form a square, paint the planter a color of your choice.


Plant your favorite houseplants in buckets and display them indoors, or cover the tree and place your plants outside to enhance your porch's curb appeal. Either way, this modern DIY plant stand is a beautiful way to display your flowers.


2  Gabion plant stand



This gabion plant stand is a beautiful addition to any landscaping or garden. Often used as retaining walls, the traditional gabion takes a twist to create this DIY project. Minimal ingredients are required and it only takes an hour!


Start by turning the three tomato cages upside down and securing them. Be sure to cut off all spiked anchor legs evenly so that your planter stays in place. Fill the cage with field stones and finish with a paver and planter on top of the DIY plant stand.


3 Wooden Trellis



This farmhouse-inspired garden is the perfect addition to your deck or patio. Clean lines painted in black give a modern twist to the traditional trellis. Add plants and containers with lots of colors to make your display pop. To create a plant stand, join two store-bought trellis boards together using square dowels and pipe caps.


4 Midcentury plant stand



Midcentury modern is popular for its clean lines and intervention of nature. Fill your space with midcentury modern style with this wooden planter.


To make a DIY plant stand, cut square dowels to twice the height of the plant you plan to use. To determine the width of the plant stand, measure the widest part of the planter. Assemble the stand using dowel pins and wood glue. The best part? You can stain it to match any aesthetic.


5 Pretty in Pink



Add some femininity to your plant stand. A pink vase and pedestal tie together this beautiful bouquet of vibrant flowers. Paint the pedestal with matching fabric for a monochromatic look. Or go with whatever color scheme speaks to you. This bright display will be the talking point at any gathering.


6 Use Antique Treasures



Who said you have to mess with your hands to make your own custom plant stand? Instead, take advantage of a beautiful vintage find. Use a stool, wash tub, champagne stand, or pedestal to display your plants.


Do you have a piece of furniture in good condition but want to give it a weather boost? An easy way to achieve this distressed look is to sand off some paint. Start small and if you like how it looks, continue until you achieve the look you want. Weathering your DIY plant stand will add old soul character to any corner of your home.

A successful small garden requires a big idea

You can let a large garden develop. And by 'large' I mean a garden more than 80 feet (25 m) long. All of the most successful small gardens I've seen lately have a strong idea behind them. In a small space, you can see everything at once, so it's important that everything looks good together. This principle applies regardless of shape, although many small gardens are wider than they are long. See here for general tips on the Shallow Wide Garden . Here are three successful small space garden ideas to inspire you. A plant-lover's garden After visiting Philip Ostenbring's garden (open once a year for NGS), I realized that a small outdoor space for unusual plants is a wonderful display area. There is no need to plant in a small space, in threes or in drifts, as the plants are very close to you. Each model looks great in a courtyard, terrace or patio garden. Whereas if you dot a variety of single plants around a large garden, everything can look out of p

Great Designs for Container Groupings

Once your single containers are ready to merge It's hard to fail with a group of containers. Any size group, from a simple couple to large multiples, can enhance any outdoor space. Open patios and decks become softer and more intimate when you place pots around them. A straight and simple outdoor path lined with containers can become a wave of sorts—a formal one with some plants or an informal path with others. You never know what you'll come up with by placing one pot next to another or a particular plant with others. Once you start experimenting, you'll notice many places where a container is grouped. 1. Combine bright colors This collection of colorful pots introduces the viewer to the vivid color scheme in the beds behind it, mainly blue flowers. However, to maintain exclusivity, pots get exclusive rights to colors like magenta, pink and chartreuse. 2. Formal lateralization A combination of papyrus and vases always looks elegant, but when placed side by sid
