Buy or make yourself?
Perhaps, every housewife has asked herself this question. Today, a huge range of all kinds of decorative forms, stands, holders and supports is available. The only problem is that truly beautiful accessories are not cheap and not everyone can afford them. And what is affordable is not always pleasing to the eye.
Another advantage of "hand made" products is that they can be made to the desired size. If there is a small corner between the sofa and the armchair for a flower stand, or a fragment of the wall near the closet is ideal for a shelf, then, having carefully measured the space, you can create a neat and very practical interior detail.
Moreover, today you can buy various fittings, decorative elements and fasteners to make the item beautiful and as functional as possible.
Types of plant stands
Stands can be wall-mounted, floor-mounted, made of wood, metal, and even unusual materials at hand.
Another option is a wall model made of wood and metal. Wooden shelves are attached to a decorative metal frame. Their number can be different. The stand is very functional, as it allows you to place flowers in a modest-sized room.
A "flower bed" of this shape is often used as an outdoor element for summer cottages and large terraces. However, if desired, it can also decorate a room or kitchen. The lower shelf can be used for other purposes, or will allow you to place another batch of flower pots.
An unusual solution for placing flowers. The stand is fixed both to the ceiling and to the floor. This model will decorate a large living room or a hall of impressive dimensions.
Another version of the "floor flowerbed". In this case, the frame with stands acts as a screen and can be used to zone the space even in small rooms. The main thing is that the pots "sit" tightly.
If space allows, you can use volumetric structures. They are made in different styles and are selected depending on the interior design. Light-loving flowers are placed on the upper steps, and further down, pots with plants that are not so demanding of light are placed.
DIY Floor Flower Stand
It turns out that creating exclusive decorative elements does not require serious material costs. The main thing is imagination. At the same time, even the simplest model looks elegant and exclusive.
One of the possible options: a stand in the form of a ladder with a support on the back side. To make it, you can use a regular ladder cut to the required size. To make the support, you will need bars and a screwdriver. In extreme cases, you can fasten it with nails. Wooden pallets are used as stands for pots.
The finished stand for flower pots is varnished. This model looks good both in white and with an antique effect. It will decorate the terrace or complement the interior of a country-style home.
As you can see in the photo, not only pots with fresh flowers, but also figurines and candles look beautiful on such a “ladder”.
Another unusual floor stand for flowers, made with your own hands. The key point is the supporting part of the structure. Of course, you can use regular wooden bars (the optimal size is 5x5 cm), but then it will lose its natural charm. Having correctly chosen the branched part, all that remains is to attach wooden stands under the pots and the base. This is also done with a screwdriver.
DIY Window Sill Flower Stand
And yet, the main place to place flowers in a house or apartment is the window sill. Firstly, because it is the brightest place, and, as we know, without light there is no life. Secondly, because of space saving. If you can still put and hang something in the corner or on the wall, then the window sill, as a rule, remains a free zone.
And in order not to be satisfied with just the length of the window sill, an elegant way of placing flowers has been invented. These are classic shelves. They can be made of different materials:
- plastic;
- glass;
- trees.
And they can be attached to the window opening in different ways, too. Either close to the glass or next to the window opening.
In this case, the kitchen window is decorated in an unusual way. Glass shelves are used inside the window opening. An alternative is transparent plastic. The shelves are attached to special holders.
Another similar model, only the shelves are held on special devices near the window. By the way, gardeners use a similar design to grow seedlings.
Models with wall mounting type
Another frequently used option is wall-mounted flower shelves. They are mainly valued for their compactness and versatility.
It is difficult to imagine more handy materials than the remains of pipes of different diameters. As you can see in the photo, you can place flowers in such a structure in any order. Especially if we are talking about voluminous petunias that bloom all summer.
A laconic room version of a wall shelf looks like this. Without unnecessary decor and volume.
A very interesting homemade shelf. To make it, you will need a board that needs to be sawn into square elements and a hole cut in the middle. A thick rope is used for fastening. In this case, the structure is held on two pieces, but variations are possible, for example, you can use four pieces. For them, four holes are drilled in the square element.
A similar structure can be attached to the wall.
Ordinary jars with transparent glass are used as pots. Before placing plants in jars, it is better to fill them with pebbles, it will look original.
Metal stand
Forged floor flowerpot for three flowers
Metal flower stands have been popular since Soviet times. However, back then, it was not about the exclusivity of the model or its functionality. As a rule, these were the simplest wall-mounted options for two flowers.
It is simply impossible to make such models on your own without skills and special equipment. To create such a masterpiece, you definitely need a drawing, a sketch and an accurate calculation.
A simple but very elegant option: a stand for three flowers. The model is made of two identical parts, located parallel and connected in such a way that the stands for flower pots are placed in the gap.
Flower boxes on the window, balconies for flowers
Flower balconies can completely change the appearance of a house (or apartment). With their installation, a special style and sophistication appears. Even the most ordinary apartment looks very dignified.
A balcony for flowers is installed on the window of an ordinary apartment.
If climatic conditions allow, even indoor flower compositions are grown in such flower beds, for example, cyclamens, dracaenas and some ampelous varieties.
Forged structures have different shapes.
Hanging flower stand with hot forging
Using hot forging technology, incredibly elegant items are created. Sometimes you can't even believe that coasters or decorative elements are made of metal. This is the result of the work of real professional craftsmen. To create a masterpiece, special equipment, skills, and talent are required.
An interesting model of a hanging flowerpot. Even without flower pots, it is a self-sufficient decorative element that complements the interior.
And hanging flowerpots of this type look good not only indoors, but also as a decorative component of the exterior of the house. They are usually placed next to the front door. The main thing is to ensure that the flowers in this pot are always well-groomed, because this will be the first impression of visiting your home.
Even the simplest houseplants are perceived differently when they are correctly placed on shelves or stands. Finally, the use of stands allows you to save space and make the room more comfortable and functional.
