Flower stands as an element of home interior
Many people are interested in floriculture. Many people's apartments are simply filled with pots of plants. There are so many of them that you inevitably have to solve the problem of purchasing or constructing special flower stands with your own hands. This activity is interesting, just like growing.
Beautiful stands with flowers in the house fit perfectly into the home interior. By placing pots with plants and flowers in them, they free up space, making the rooms more open. This is especially beneficial for those living in small apartments.
At the same time, the option of grouping house plants at one point is also welcome in large apartments. And of course, such interior decoration items are widely used in country houses.
Flower stands are often displayed in winter gardens and in open areas in gardens laid out in summer cottages. Such items represent elements of landscape design.
Triple flower stands in the interior
With triple flower stands in the interior, you can create a unique composition in your own living room. Choose plants in different shades of green and place them near the sofa. Also, choose decorative pillowcases in green and orange. The living room in this version will receive an additional dose of energy.
Flowers on a triple stand look especially interesting when the pots are at different heights. There are also metal stands in the form of three steps. From wide at the bottom to increasingly narrow at the top. Such designs fit perfectly into the corner of the room to create a two-tier wall of plants there.
Types of stands
In addition to choosing the size of the stands, there are other factors that affect the order of arrangement of flower pots. If you want to find out what types of flower stands there are, you discover that there is a whole classification according to which all flower stands are selected or made independently, no matter where they are located.
More often they are divided into groups according to the place of fastening and installation. The most famous home groups are wall-mounted and floor flower stands.
Each of them can include several varieties of fastening methods, and also includes the types of plants and flowers most suitable for this type of arrangement. Improper use of stands for certain types of plants can lead to discomfort.
For example, hanging wall-mounted varieties, in which hanging vines or plants with overgrown branches are placed, will have many advantages if they are placed on the walls, as expected. And it will be quite difficult to install them on the floor. Below they will not look as attractive as when the stand is mounted on the wall.
Shapes of floor stands (tower, pyramid, high)
Sizes and shapes vary depending on the ingenuity of the designer. The tall, floor-mounted flower stand holds one or more pots (up to 10). When choosing a multi-tiered type, make sure that the flowers get along with each other.
Made of metal
Based on general characteristics, stands are divided into the following groups:
- For large ferns (with large roots), low stands with wide square or round glass are used. The diameter of the glass is available in various sizes - from 30x30 cm to 75x75;
- For significantly smaller dimensions - about 2-3 platforms on legs (material - chrome) from 30x30 cm to 45x45 cm;
- Long rectangular pots - different heights of legs are used (calculation is based on plant growth).

For lovers of bouquets or other compositions, floor flower stands made of wood, metal or forged with a flat tabletop are suitable. Tower stands are good for small rooms, where they do not take up too much space due to their compactness.
Types of floor flower stands
Floor varieties have their own divisions. They can be stationary or mobile. The latter are convenient for quick movement, as they have small wheels at the ends.
Many plant varieties require special care. They need to be rearranged so that they receive more light and air. It is much easier to carry out such a process with a mobile stand.
The stationary variety allows you to place more pots of different formats. Both small and quite heavy. The stable position of the stand allows it to withstand significant loads. Much larger than a mobile stand can handle.
Both main types, stationary and mobile, can be installed and placed on any size area as desired. If you look at photos of flower stands in catalogs or on websites, you will notice that some flower growers prefer to place them all over the wall, in the form of fixed racks or separate shelves, while others like high floor stands.
You may notice that many people prefer to make coasters with their own hands rather than buy them in stores or markets.
Material for making flower stands
Flower stands are made from different materials. The most commonly used materials are wood, metal, glass, plastic, and stone.
Metal
This is the most common material that manufacturers use to construct stands. The forged stand looks especially beautiful and presentable. The florist will be able to place up to 12 flowerpots with flowers on one metal structure, as it is strong and stable.
Forged flower stands come in different types and styles. They are great for use at home. The shapes of forged accessories can be very different and unusual - in the form of a carriage, heart, pyramid, treble clef. The imagination of manufacturers here is limitless.
Among the disadvantages of a forged product is its high cost. After all, metal itself has a considerable price, to which is added the work of the master. If you have a metal structure in your home, try to protect it from water. Especially if there are places on such a stand with damaged paint, the rusting process may begin.
Tree
Flower stands made of wood are a cheaper analogue of forged products.
With their help, you can really organize the space competently, placing several vases with flowers in one zone at once. They are used in Provence interior style to create a minimalist design. And the design, made in the form of several steps, is ideal for interiors in loft and hi-tech style.
The wooden stand is perfectly complemented by metal elements, such as support tubes. They strengthen the structure and give it an elegant look.
Wicker wooden stands are also used at home; they are especially good for country-style rooms. But such a stylish accessory cannot withstand a lot of weight; small flowerpots with flowers are quite suitable for decorating the composition.
Glass
A very interesting and justified solution for home decoration is a glass flower stand. It will create a wonderful tandem: a harmonious combination of plants and a breathable, space-enhancing material - glass.
Glass coasters come in different shapes and colors, decorated with patterns and plain. Orange, sky blue, white - they will highlight the green leaves of plants, create a great mood and make you smile. Glass products are suitable for decorating any style of room, because this material is universal. Such products will be complemented by metal or forged elements.
Plastic
This plastic material can take on any shape and design. Bright products are made from it - large and small in size. Both experienced flower growers and those who consider a low price a priority when choosing a product will be able to find a suitable accessory for themselves.
Among the disadvantages of plastic products is their fragility. Therefore, you need to be careful when using them. Among the positive aspects of plastic is its immunity to water, as well as to mechanical damage.
Most often, in order to achieve an optimal result during the production of flower stands, several materials are combined in one design. They combine glass, metal, wood, plastic. The buyer makes a choice depending on his taste and cost of the product.
Materials for the stand and their finishing
The basis for what you can make a stand with your own hands can be different materials and objects. At home, needlewomen sometimes make flowerpots that are suitable for both floor and wall types of stands. Metal or wooden rims are most often used.

The latter are suitable for small pots with light loads. Metal ones are of course much stronger, but less aesthetically pleasing. Wooden flower stands can be decorated with varnish and carved patterns.
Metal stands require additional intervention. Detailed instructions on how to make a flower stand or decorate an existing one can be found on websites on the Internet, in video tutorials, and master classes.
Chic interior: wooden flower stand
Wooden flower stands in the interior should also be very stable. In addition, they must be protected from excessive amounts of water. Despite the fact that the wood in the product is coated with waterproof varnish, it is worth wiping it dry after watering the flower. Then coasters made from natural materials will last much longer.
Decoration for country landscape
The topic of constructing country stands is especially interesting. The starting materials for them can be any more suitable items. Fixed wooden or metal racks, old benches or benches, and so on.
Everyone approaches the question of how to choose the best flower stand from their own perspective, depending on their preferences. In each case, the main thing everyone strives for is to achieve an aesthetically attractive appearance.
