Creative Ways to Display Your Houseplants: Plant Stand Ideas
Houseplants add life, color, and character to any space – but where you put them matters! Let’s dive into creative plant displays and fun plant stand ideas that will elevate your favorite plants (literally) and show them off in style. From modern designs to rustic setups, these tips will help make your greenery the centerpiece it deserves to be.
Hanging Planters for Airy, Elevated Vibes
If you’re running low on surface space or want a touch of whimsy, consider hanging planters. These elevated displays add a unique dimension to any room and keep your plants away from curious pets. Choose between macramé hangers for a boho vibe or sleek, metal frames for a modern twist.
Our Signature Stone Hanging Baskets by Kanso are perfect for bringing greenery to eye level without taking up floor space!
Ladder Shelves: For the Multi-Plant Display
Ladder shelves are a fantastic option for showing off multiple plants in one stylish, compact space. Perfect for small apartments or plant hoarders alike, ladder shelves let each plant bask in the spotlight without crowding others. Arrange trailing plants on top and shorter ones on lower rungs for a visually pleasing look.
Keep the mess off of your floor and shelves by using one of our best selling cork drip mats. Stylish and functional, these are a step up from the clear plastic saucers you may be used to!
Floating Shelves: Stylish Wall Displays
For an art-inspired plant display, install a few floating shelves along a wall. These shelves create a layered effect and can be adjusted to fit any space. Place your fiddle leaf fig in a sturdy pot on one shelf and smaller plants or accessories on surrounding shelves for a gallery-style display that’s fresh and functional.

Plant Stools for Height Variety
Plant stools are an excellent way to add height and visual interest to your plant collection. By placing a few taller plants on stools or small tables, you can create a dynamic, multi-level display. This setup helps highlight unique plants like fiddle leaf figs while making the room feel balanced. We love unique styles, using repurposed materials like tractor seats and water pumps!
Try playing with height and texture by using a tall houseplant such as the Chameleon ZZ plant or a Variegated Snake Plant and pair it with something that trails like a hoya!
Glass Terrariums for a Mini Ecosystem
Terrariums offer a stylish and contained way to display smaller plants or succulents, especially if you’re after a mini indoor garden look. They protect humidity-loving plants and allow you to add unique elements like moss, rocks, and soil layers. Plus, they’re low-maintenance – which means more time to enjoy and less time watering. Remember, you can use just about anything clear with a lid to create a terrarium, including large Mason jars, old jugs, or even antique crystal!
To ensure healthy roots in your terrarium, make sure you use pumice and vermiculite to enhance drainage and proper air circulation!
Bar Cart Garden: Roll Your Plants Anywhere
A bar cart isn’t just for drinks – it’s also a mobile plant display! Style a bar cart with your favorite plants, allowing you to move them around to chase the light or change up the decor. Perfect for sunny spots near windows or areas that could use a pop of green, bar carts make a flexible, fun plant display.
Woven Baskets for Boho Charm
Woven baskets are not only trendy but also great for creating a cozy, boho look in any space. Slip your potted plants into woven baskets to add texture and warmth, and use different sizes to display large and small plants alike. These work especially well with bushy plants like snake plants, Monstera deliciosa or large fiddle leaf figs that need a stylish disguise for plain pots.
Indoor Plant Walls: Go Big and Bold
For those ready to make a statement, consider dedicating an entire wall to plants. Create a green wall with a mix of mounted planters, wall grids, or shelves filled with greenery. Not only does this add a dramatic touch to your decor, but it also doubles as a natural air purifier.
Conclusion: Elevate Your Houseplant Game with Creative Displays
With these creative plant stand ideas, you can transform your plants into living art. Whether it’s hanging planters, ladder shelves, or woven baskets, the right display makes all the difference in highlighting your favorite greenery. Take a look around your space, get inspired, and give your plants the stage they deserve!
