MY MEDALLION
Whether you’re an accomplished gardener or a beginner hoping to cultivate a green thumb, you’ll want to master the art of display. We’ve rounded up some clever ways to showcase all of your plants, flowers, and succulents; each is easy to do, relatively inexpensive, and will make a great design impact on your space. Here are 4 DIY ways to display houseplants.
Use A Bar Cart
If you don’t already have one, a simple bar cart can serve a variety of purposes in your home decor: we propose using yours as a way to display your plants and flowers. It’s practical because you can easily rotate plants from the top to the bottom tier depending on how much light they need. It also adds a lot of style to a room, because having multiple plants grouped together in one vignette makes a real visual impact. Of course, the biggest benefit of using a bar cart for this purpose is that it’s portable; you can easily and conveniently move your plants around your space, ensuring that they get maximum sunlight.
Make A Macrame Plant Hanger
These creations actually date back to the 1970s when macrame anything was the height of style. Macrame is a simple DIY crafting project that only requires cord (thick cotton string), a tape measure, scissors, tape, and maybe a few wooden beads for embellishment. You’ll need to learn how to make a couple of basic knots to get started; watching a tutorial or two beforehand is always a good idea too. A sturdy hook that can support the weight of your hanging plant is the final touch.
Use A Planter Box As A Centrepiece
If you have a table or other flat surface that could use a bit of adornment, why not use a planter box, which is typically meant for the outdoors, inside? Using a planter box to display a curated collection of your favourite houseplants makes a strong statement and is an unexpected touch indoors. It makes an excellent centrepiece down the middle of a table, but would also work well on a console or sideboard—anywhere you have the room for a stunning bespoke arrangement.
Create Your Own Plant Stand Out Of Wooden Crates
Another great way to show off your gardening prowess is to arrange your plants and flowers in a cool display that can include different heights. Wooden crates are a cost-effective material that you can customize by painting them a colour that complements your decor. Arrange them however you like: straight up and down in a tower, lined in neat rows, or stacked in a specific pattern. They are also relatively light in weight so you can move them around whenever you feel the itch to redecorate.
These creative DIY solutions for displaying houseplants may just encourage you to expand your plant collection. Thanks for reading and don’t forget to follow the Medallion blog for more great home decorating ideas.
