Adding plants is one simple way to make any space look better, whether inside or outside. Make your houseplants stand out with our custom plant stands. Instead of buying one from the store, try making your own with easy-to-find materials like dowels, paint, and old wire tomato cages. Check out our top DIY plant stand ideas to give your home a fresh look.
Modern Outdoor Plant Stand
This simple geometric plant stand is a fun project you can finish in a day. Start by cutting plywood into 22×22-inch squares. Cut a circle in the middle of one board to hold a bucket for your plant. Glue the plywood pieces together to form a square, then paint it in your preferred color. Plant your favorite houseplants in the buckets and display them indoors, or seal the wood and place your plants outside to spruce up your porch. Either way, this modern DIY plant stand is a beautiful way to show off your flowers.
Gabion Plant Stand
A gabion plant stand is a lovely addition to any garden. Normally used as walls to hold soil, this DIY project gives it a new purpose. You’ll need just a few materials, and it can be done in an hour! Begin by flipping and securing three tomato cages together. Cut off the sharp legs so the stand stays stable. Fill the cage with stones and top it off with a paver and planter.
Wooden Trellis
A trellis plant stand is great for your deck or patio. Its sleek black lines give a modern look to the classic trellis. Add vibrant plants and pots to make it stand out. To make this stand, just put together two store-bought trellises with square dowels and duct caps.
Midcentury Plant Stand
Midcentury modern style is still trendy because of its simple lines and natural elements. Add to your space with a wooden plant stand in this style.
Cut square dowels to be twice as tall as your planter to make it. Measure your planter’s widest part to know how wide to make the stand. Put the stand together using dowel pins and wood glue. The great thing is you can stain it to match any style you like.
Pretty in Pink
Give your plant stand a pretty touch. Use a pink vase and pedestal to hold a lovely bunch of colorful flowers. Wrap the pedestal with a piece of fabric that matches for a seamless look, or choose colors that you like. This cheerful setup will catch everyone’s eye at any gathering.
Use Antique Treasures
Who says you need to make a plant stand from scratch? Look for a cool antique piece instead. You can use things like a stool, washtub, champagne stand, or pedestal to show off your plants.
Have you got a piece of furniture that’s still in good condition but you want to give a vintage vibe? You can do this by distressing it, which means sanding off some paint to make it look weathered. Start gently, and if you like how it looks, keep going until you get the look you want. This weathered style will give your DIY plant stand some charming, old-fashioned flair in any corner of your home.
