Buy or make it yourself
The easiest way is to go to the store and buy a ready-made stand/stand for flowers. Today, manufacturers offer many different models of flowerpots, shelves and wall structures. Moreover, such products can differ quite greatly in appearance, design and shape.
It’s more fun to make flower shelves with your own hands. The Internet is full of detailed instructions and master classes describing this process in detail. As for materials, you can use any available means of your choice or purchase “raw materials” from a specialty store.
The advantage of creating a stand for indoor plants yourself is the uniqueness of the end result. You can decide on the design configuration, color scheme, and texture yourself. And you will have no doubt about its exclusivity. Such a thing will be the subject of your pride and the envy of others.

A product made with trepidation can become one of the bright accents in the interior. As a result, all actions for its manufacture must be done carefully, without haste and fuss.
Thanks to homemade flower stands, you can emphasize the design features of the room, for example, create the atmosphere of a French province or an Alpine chalet.
Metal wall shelf "vine"
This is the author’s version of the flower shelf, but we also chose it for consideration in the master classes. For work we will need:
- Sheet iron or fittings.
- Paint, brushes.
- Parts for fastening the shelf.
Step-by-step diagram-instructions for the master:
- The main difficulty with this model is the required blacksmithing skills. If you do not have such practical skills, contact a specialist to make just the frame for you. You can arrange the rest of the details yourself.
- The frame should be in the form of a weaving vine.
- Prepare the leaves-stands. These are wide platforms with sufficient thickness of material. We need to weld the blank leaves to the branches of the vine.
- We cover our product with paint and varnish for additional shine.
- We form the fastening elements and hang the decorative shelf on the wall.
- For additional fixation of flower pots, you can slightly bend the edges of the leaf pads to make small border borders.
Such work will not be difficult for those craftsmen who have already had experience working with metal decorative products. For beginners, this variation will require some financial costs. However, beauty and unique style will decorate your home and transform the interior.
Today there are a huge variety of designer models for home decoration. Much of the work is done online, allowing you to learn creative skills in real time under the guidance of experienced mentors. If you want to make adjustments to the interior of your own apartment, successfully arrange your home flowers and organize your own mini-garden, start learning right now. And the results of fruitful work will not keep you waiting!

Classic wall flower stand
In order to make such a design, you will need very little available material, tools and a little patience.
You need to prepare in advance:
- shelf or board made of wood or chipboard,
- a decorative element for connecting the structure (in this case, a strong tree branch of a suitable configuration),
- drill,
- saw or jigsaw,
- screws,
- paint,
- varnish,
- pencil,
- brush,
- roulette
The choice of material and fasteners depends on the future load on the stand. It is clear that the larger the dimensions of the product, the more reliable the fasteners are needed.
Hanging structure for flowers
The hanging structure for pots with hanging plants looks original. It is convenient and easy to make.
To implement your plan, you will need several pre-prepared shelves, a strong rope and a drill.
- In the shelves you need to drill two holes on each side. Their diameter must correspond to the diameter of the rope.
- The rope is passed through the prepared holes and fixed at the desired level using knots.
- The original stand is secured with ropes.
This option for placing flowers is ideal for a window sill or loggia. This design is not massive, so it will not greatly shade the room.
A variety of shelving can be made from wood. Their shape can be classic, in the form of a ladder, asymmetrical, and so on. The design can be straight or angular. The main requirement for the product is its aesthetics and durability.
Metal flower stands
Metal stands and stands for plants are beautiful, durable and very popular. It is important to take into account that such a stand will be a very original decorative element, so you need to work hard on the idea so that it fits well into the interior.
For the manufacture of such products, forging is used or a welded structure is performed. You'll have to work hard on it. Then the product must be carefully treated against corrosion and carefully painted.
During operation, it is necessary to monitor the condition of the coating to avoid rust.
Such stands are usually made on the floor or mounted on the wall. They have a large margin of safety and are able to withstand large flowerpots.
The shape of metal stands is very diverse. These can be classic racks for two or three places, familiar from Soviet times, or openwork structures in the shape of an old bicycle, wheel, ladder, and so on.
Plastic stands
Typically, such stands are made from leftover laminate or plastic panels. The material is not at all afraid of moisture; structural elements can be painted in any color using acrylic paint.
In addition, finished plastic products are often used in work, supplemented with decorative elements. This category of products can easily include stands made from used plastic containers.
Glass coasters
They are difficult to manufacture because they require experience and careful processing of sections. In addition, they require constant care and are not able to bear a heavy load.
Example of an original stand
You can make a stylish flower shelf using the simplest things, such as twigs and planks. The pots must be placed on planks one above the other. And if you replace plant pots with glass jars, this will add originality to such a craft.

This design looks very interesting and allows you to quickly arrange indoor flowers. It takes up minimal space.
Make holes
Now you need to measure the installation depth of the flower pots on the balusters and make holes using a drill. In our case, it turned out to be about 50 cm from the ground. Here again a pencil and ruler will come in handy. Determine the height and mark the desired point on each baluster.
The hole should be located in the middle. One thing to keep in mind at this stage is that the area where you are going to make the hole should be thick enough so that the length of the screw or nail is half the entire thickness. If this distance is less, there is a high risk that the strength of the structure will be compromised and it will not be possible to place too heavy flower pots or decorations there. And since in this design all the parts depend on each other, a situation where at least one part is out of balance must be avoided. So, make holes on all the balusters.
Are calculations necessary?
Simple variations of flower stands do not require calculations. However, for more complex designs it may be necessary to make a sketch. The more complex the idea, the more calculations will be needed. They are necessary to avoid instability and shakyness of the stand. In addition, thinking about the nuances allows you to achieve ease of use.
The advantages of making it yourself
- Now there are a lot of retail outlets that sell materials that can be used to create flower shelves with your own hands.
- Any creativity allows you to make a thing so that it fits exactly into the existing interior.
- The stand can be made to any size you need.
Design for pots on the windowsill
The window flower stand must meet the following requirements:
- compactness;
- high light transmittance;
- aesthetics.
It is best to place violets on it.

When deciding on the design, you need to pay attention to lightweight suspended systems. Most often they are designed to be placed on the sides of windows. This solution has many advantages, the main one of which is that they provide a minimum of shadow.
Most often, multi-tiered shelves are made of wood, choosing species that are easy to process. There is nothing complicated about creating wooden stands. The process itself is very exciting.
The cost of flower shelves will tend to zero if you use materials remaining after repairs, for example, chipboard scraps.
What are we doing?
And we make very special flower stands from balusters. The stand itself is a great thing, because it is not only an element of space design, but also serves as a convenience. The height of the stand is fully adjustable to the desired size. And if the need arises to make a stronger support, then instead of three legs you can easily make four. In addition, wooden balusters serve as an excellent starting material. At first it can be used in its pure form, and then, say, after a few years or once a year, as a special home ritual, it can be repainted to suit the interior or in order to add a bright accent.
Use your imagination, use additional design materials and enjoy the result. You can make a similar thing as a gift to a friend who is also interested in growing flowers. In general, balusters are a great thing that will always come in handy in the household.
Forged stands/stands for flowers
Making a metal stand at home is not easy, but it is possible if you put in enough effort. In addition, it requires forging skills. But, before you start work, you need to make sure that such a thing will be appropriate in relation to the chosen interior style.
Forged structures for plants can be either floor or wall-mounted. Both solutions are quite elegant and convenient. The choice depends on your preferences. But remember that metal stands require more financial investment than wooden ones.
Other materials
The most popular material for creating flower shelves is plastic. It can be of different colors and textures. It's easy to work with. No special skills or special tools are required. Even a beginner in needlework can make shelves and racks made of plastic for placing plants, if he has such a desire.
It is impossible to list all the products that are offered in stores for constructing flower stands - they are too diverse. You can easily choose any option that is suitable for your case. And the cost of such “raw materials” is quite reasonable.
A shelf or rack for indoor plants can be a good gift for an amateur gardener. Especially if it is handmade. After all, by creating a thing yourself, you put a piece of your soul into it.

Selected options
If you have a two-story house, then you can adapt the stairs to the second floor for flowers. This detail can transform the interior and become an ideal place for growing a small flower garden. Plus, on the ladder you can create a wide variety of compositions without any problems.
Choosing a location is not difficult; you just need to involve your imagination in the process. If you want to place your flower garden not in the garden, but right indoors, then do not rush to immediately place the plants on the windowsill, as many housewives do in the photo, you will still have time to do this. Place them at the edges of the steps so that the hanging vines are evenly distributed along the stairs.
Wooden and metal structures for flowers
The most popular option is a structure made of wood. It will look beautiful whether it is in the garden or on the windowsill in the house. For example, an ordinary staircase, on the steps of which you can place pots with plants, due to its simplicity, will not lose its attractiveness.
Another option consists of knocked-together boxes arranged on a base in the form of a lattice made of metal. Such a structure, designed for flowers, can be hung on a wall or door, or simply placed on the floor.
Metal structures are distinguished by their elegance and luxury. They mainly consist of 3-4 steps and will look great both indoors and outdoors. The main advantages of such stairs:
- Easy to use.
- Durable.
- Do not require any additional care.
The material used for manufacturing is a rod or square made of durable metal, examples of which can be seen in the photo. Floor ladders are often found on wheels, which makes them even easier to use. True, only masters are engaged in their production.
