Improve Your Home's Decor with Stylish Indoor Plant Displays

Unique indoor plant displays can brighten any room.

From natural indoor air fresheners to staples of calming feng shui, every home benefits from growing plants. With a few clever hacks, you always have room to creatively display your indoor plants and upgrade your decorating style.

Animal shaped ceramics make remarkable planters with a whimsical twist.

Contain with Style

No matter your decorating challenges, you can find delightful flora, pots and planters to fit the bill. Any object that can hold dirt and water can serve as a flower pot, which lends you practically an infinite amount of options. However, stylish containers prove to the world that you deliberately attended to your decorating scheme. From whimsical animals, ceramic heads (or skulls!), geometric shapes and wooden pots, you can find just the right planter for every plant and room in the house.

Create extra space with a-frame ladder stands that elevate your fragrant and colorful plants.

Up a Ladder

When you have few areas with sufficient natural light for green growth, you may need to concentrate your plants to those spots. This is where a ladder display comes in quite handy. With several levels, you can let the larger plants take up the lower platforms with the smaller ones above. A ladder display keeps your greenery together and out from under foot.

Oxidzed zinc wall planters can add a decorative focal point to your room.

On a Wall

Another great method to display plants without taking up too much horizontal real estate is to hang them on the wall. Vertical gardens earn double-takes. They also fill wall space when you haven't a clue as to what other types of art should live there. Plus, where sunlight shining on the wall might deteriorate your paintings and prints, your houseplants will love it and thrive.

A room�s corner is the perfect place for hanging house plants from the ceiling.

Hanging from the Ceiling

Although most plants root in dirt, they don't have to remain earthbound. Hang them in decorative pots from the ceiling. When suspended from above, you can elegantly fill in empty corner spaces up high. Hanging plants also serve to improve the acoustics in large, echoey rooms and soften those minimalist, utilitarian angles. You can hang them from bars across windows, from the ceiling or the undersides of shelving.

Use upside-down pots to show off foliage, fruit, or blooms in a stunning, unique way.

Upside Down

Want to go a little crazy with your indoor plant displays? Try growing them upside down. Like any hanging plant, you can string them from the ceiling or underside of any horizontal surface strong enough to hold the weight. In the kitchen, grow an upside down herb garden over your usual preparation area for instant access to your favorite fresh spices. Your topsy turvy plants will astonish your guests and start many conversations, the proof of a truly effective display.

Metal, wooden or plastic, choose a traditional plant stand the best suits your interior space.

Standing on Their Own

Classic plant stands offer many decorating benefits. Coming in a multitude of styles and materials, you can find the right set of stands for any interior scheme. Grouping stands of varying heights with plants of diverse varieties creates visual interest. Plus, you can quite easily move stands anywhere you want them. If your vegetation fails to thrive in one room, simply carry the stands to a good spot elsewhere. Stands provide a winning exhibit every time.

Indoor plants are good for you, but they convey greater delight when you discover interesting new ways to display them. Forget ordinary. Instead, acquire unusual pots and create clever arrangements to give your decor new life.
