How to make your plant collection more organized

Plants add a nice natural look to your home, produce oxygen, and even help you stay calm and productive. If you are a plant parent, there is a good chance you are always looking for different ways to display your plants in your home, balcony or your garden. Or if you just want to change things a little and get some new plants for decorating or other purposes, you might not know where you should start. You never know how much of a difference something as simple or small as a plant shelf can make in your decor. 

If you already have a collection of potted plants and are (maybe) tired of looking at them just lying there, scattered, on the floor, we have come up with a list of things you can use to make your collection more organized and beautiful, to decorate your house, balcony and garden with different types of plants.

Plant shelf

Shelves are one of the best ways to organize pretty much anything – showpieces, art, trophies, crockery and even plants! You can use any kind of shelf that suits your preferences and plant needs, and you can mix and match a few pots, books, showpieces and more! A plant shelf can come in a number of different styles, materials, designs, and sizes. If you are not sure what would go with your décor and make your plants look good, you can go ahead with any wooden plant shelf – wood fits perfectly with almost anything, and adds to the plants’ natural look. You can have a look at this triangular shelf, for example.

It can hold more than six pots at once, add beauty with its multi-tier display and the color of the wood can go with any background – dark tones, light tones on your walls, pastel décor, a garden, a balcony, anything! You can have a look at it here.

Decorate your patio

If you have a patio, plants are one of the best ways to decorate it. They give your whole house a natural, green look. There are a number of ways you can add plants to your patio – an outdoor patio shelf, varying sizes of pots, plants and stands, maybe small pots on your patio table, bigger ones beside your patio chairs, and more. Think about the colors and the number of plants and pots that would look good in your patio, you can match your plant décor with the furniture or the floor of your patio, creating a blend or a contrast.

Plant Corners

One of the simplest and cost friendly ways to use plants for decorating your home is placing large pots with large leaves in empty corners, or placing a small plant pot in a small corner. This can add a simple yet beautiful little natural touch to your décor. Plus, plant greenery goes with pretty much everything – light tones, dark tones, greys, teals, white, pastels, and so much more. You can also arrange a few different plant pots in the same corner to create a clustered natural corner. All you need to do is get some pretty pots and vases that go with the décor and wallpaper or paint in your home, and you are good to go!

Center stage

You can get one large plant in a large pot on a large stand, and make it the center of attraction in your living room. This sounds a little loud, but when executed turns out to be one of the more minimalist and modern approaches to using plants in your décor. You can focus on one type of plant and make it the focus of your room, using pots and stands in colors that complement the other décor and colors in your room, or you can mix up a variety of different sizes and leaf shapes and create your own little forest in the middle of your living space.

Low light plants

If there is an area or corner in your house that is darker than the others, you would not usually put a plant there because of the lack of light. But there are a number of different plants that can also thrive in low light areas, and will lighten up dark spaces in your home with some life and greenery.

Single plant stands

You can always choose to elevate plants with a plant stand. You can play around with colors and positions with plant stands in you home, balcony and garden, and choose from different materials and themes like vintage, modern, playful and more!

Vines

Vines are truly underrated! You can get a few vines or creepers and let them grow and wrap around mirrors, doors, photo frames, walls, other pots, entrances, garden stands and so much more. They give your house a pretty, natural and casual look.

DIY

If you cannot find something that suits your taste, why not just make it yourself? Or maybe you have some old stuff lying around that has not been used in quite a while, but you do not want to throw it away, maybe you are just bored and want to do something to spend your time – just grab some paint, some glue, an old rack and get going! An old tv stand, a table, some old pots, and pretty much anything can be spiced up with some craft materials and a little time. And the best part is that there really are no limitations! You can make things in any color, shape and size you want.

Hanging planters

If you have an empty corner or an empty wall, you can liven it up by using hanging planters. They will not only add life to that empty space, but also add vibrance and something unique to your living space. Hanging planters are available in different types and sizes, they are usually smaller in size so as to not put too much load on the main hook, and you can select them on the basis of your décor and how much space you want them to take up.

These are just some ways you can use to display your plant collection in a neat, organized manner, letting them show off their pretty leaves and colorful flowers. There are no limits to your creativity and to what you can try. You can give a try to a number of these ideas in different rooms, balconies and in your yard, or you can create a nice mix to add some more life to your home. To get the best out of these ideas, you can keep these tips in mind – use a variety of plant types and sizes, arrange them in odd numbers, play around with leaf shapes and colors, take your plants’ sunlight and water needs into consideration, and take careful and constant care of them to help them stay in their best shape. These details and steps will help you keep everything organized, neat, beautiful and keep your plants healthy – inside and outside. If you are looking for furniture for your plants, you can find a variety of different collections including shelves, stands, tables, sets, and more on costway.com. You can also find a range of multipurpose furniture, appliances, and pretty much everything pretty and productive for your home.
