Tiered wooden plant stands with shelves allow you to save space (micro apartments) and can be used to layer your plants according to the size. The latter can double up as your side table when not in use. You can pick from minimalistic designs, like the mid-century inspired four hardwood legged stands that nests the planter inside it, or you can go conventional and pick a contemporary wooden table with a surface, for pots that demand more soil and will be heavier. But when you pick wood as the material for the plant stand, it gives you a great opportunity to be creative.
Just about anything from upturned tomato cages to milk crates, side tables, and wire crates can be converted into plant stands.
Below, we rounded up some plant stands we like - along with a few bookshelves, end tables, step stools, art-supply carts, wooden crates, and more things you can also definitely put plants on.When it comes to plant stands, nothing is written in stone. No matter what kind of “stand” you choose, though, you’ll want something that has an open design to let in light and that can support a decent amount of weight and hold up to the occasional water spill. If you have a medium-size plant teetering off the edge of your windowsill, why not put it on top of a stool instead, or a bar cart, or floating shelves? If you’re a bit of a plant hoarder, with every square inch of floor and table surfaces covered, you can use rolling utility carts, shoe benches, or bookcases to better organize your collection. Thankfully, a plant stand can really be any object you can place a plant on, and one sweep of the internet will reveal that you can put plants on lots of things. Both styles can be good-looking and super-functional, but they’re also a bit limiting. Traditional plant stands seem to come in two styles: those mid-century-modern ones that stay low to the ground and fit just one big pot, and the more bookshelf-style bamboo units with a few shelves that can hold a bunch of smaller plants.
