Peculiarities
The use of green spaces in residential premises has its roots in ancient times. As soon as a person realized the need to build a place in which he could live for a long time, the path of evolution of the interior within this space began. In addition to the appearance of furniture and necessary household items, flowers and useful plants began to appear in the house. Since there was no medicine as such in ancient times, people were well versed in the healing properties of herbs and flowers and tried to keep them to themselves.
There are a number of beneficial properties that a person receives if they have green plants in their room:
- normalization of a person’s psychological state;
- indoor air purification;
- protecting your home from unknown forces.
In addition to the undeniable benefits, having flowers in a variety of colors at home decorates the room, making it brighter, pleasant and cozy. There are no clear limits on how many flowers there can be in a room, but if you want to have them in sufficient quantities, you should take care of the place where they will be located. Since plants have certain needs, it is important to provide them with the necessary amount of light and moisture, otherwise they will not live long.
The most common place where pots are usually displayed is a window sill , but this is not always convenient, so having specialized stands at home can significantly improve the situation.
Such products can be found in the store or you can make them yourself if you try a little.
Since not everyone can or wants to place flowers on the windowsill, there is a need to select the optimal place for them. At the moment, there is a fairly wide variety of stands that can fit in any room.
Among the most popular options:
- wooden;
- metal;
- combined;
- floor;
- wall-mounted
For indoor plants, any of the above options may be suitable, both in terms of material of manufacture and location. You can make wooden coasters yourself, since only a specialist or a person with experience in such a matter can work with metal.
A DIY wooden flower stand can have a different appearance, which depends on the number of plants that will be placed on it. If there are a lot of pots, then a multi-level design would be the best option. For one or two flowerpots, you should choose something elegant and stylish to decorate the room.
Independent construction of a product may include the use of a wide variety of materials:
- pieces of plastic;
- twine;
- wire of different thicknesses and colors;
- vine;
- threads
The stand does not have to be simple; it can be stylishly decorated and complemented with mosaics, decoupage or painted.
Before you start making the product, you should consider the option of the stand, its height, dimensions, sketch out drawings and decide on the final option. In the process of work, certain ideas for decorating an object usually emerge, but sometimes a ready-made form suggests the desired option, so there is no need to rush with it.
If a floor design has been chosen, then it is worth choosing the most suitable option. It could be:
- ladder;
- multi-level shelves;
- apartment flower bed;
- high stand;
- low stand.
The floor version is also called jardiniere. It is often used as a decorative element. It is not difficult to make such a design, you just need to choose a material that is convenient for the work.
Usually this is chipboard, wood or plastic, from which the stand itself and the base are made, connecting to each other. The stand can have any height, the main thing is that the entire structure is stable, for which the base must be at least 20 cm in diameter.
When creating a jardiniere, it is necessary to provide grooves, thanks to which all the parts will be connected, and to use specialized glue for reliable fixation.
Wall stands are usually created in the form of one or more shelves that connect to each other. This option is used in cases where there is no space on the windowsill or floor for additional objects. Most often, wall shelves are made of metal or wood. The most beautiful techniques are forging and figured wood cutting. If we talk about more affordable options, then these include connecting one shelf with sides or several shelves with membranes that will strengthen the structure.
You can also come up with a variety of stands for the window that will make the room more comfortable and beautiful, and also make it possible to place many more flowers in it. When thinking through the design, it is important to provide several important details:
- free access of light to the room;
- ease of use of the window sill;
- comfortable watering and care of flowers;
- the opportunity to admire the vegetation from anywhere in the room.
Wood, plastic and metal are most often used for window sills. The most beautiful stands are made of metal, with the help of which amazing things are forged.
Wooden and plastic products are less attractive, but more practical, because with their help you can make a small but high stand that will accommodate from 4 to 8 pots. The most popular option is to combine round wooden stands and a metal stand, which ensures the strength of the structure and its neat appearance.
The choice of option depends on the size of the room, the number of colors and the desires of the owner. You can make any stand with your own hands, the main thing is to understand the principles of its manufacture, select the right materials and make a suitable drawing.
When choosing a product for a room, you should also focus on the general style of the room, so that the new object complements it and does not stand out from the already finished concept.

To avoid making mistakes, you need to create drawings or look for ready-made sketches. If you have some experience in this direction, then it will be enough to see the finished product to understand how to make it.
Floor structures made of wood can have a very primitive appearance, but if the product is made carefully, it will become a real decoration of the room. A two-story stand will make it possible to place from 2 to 4 pots in one area, making it an accent.
It is worth using flowers of different types and tones to make the design more interesting.
If possible, you can build a very interesting structure at home that will become a real decoration of the room. With the help of round stands for pots, it is possible to make the entire structure lighter, and thin figured stands will add elegance and style to it. Light colors will be more preferable, but the final color scheme is formed based on the interior.
