Bringing all those gorgeous green plants indoors is one of my favorite things. But finding the perfect stand? That can be a challenge.

I used to think you had to spend a ton of money for something stylish. But I was so wrong! Here is my roundup of the trendiest DIY plant stands and some inspiration for how to decorate with them.

DIY Minimal Plant Stands

Sometimes, you want the plant to be the total star of the show, right? I get that! That’s where these minimal plant stands come in.

They are all about blending right into the background. Forget loud colors or busy patterns. Here, simplicity and a clean look are the most important things.

Color and Pattern

I am a total sucker for anything that adds a pop of color or a fun pattern to a room. But, I know it needs to be done without messing up the whole modern vibe. These two cool plant stands do exactly that!

This next one, the DIY concrete stool, is just so versatile. I love it! It’s a project that will absolutely last forever, and it lets you bring in a little bit of spunk.

It can even handle the weather. If you want something less flashy, just leave the concrete finish as is. It would look amazing in an industrial style room.

Multi-Level Plant Stands

Have a lonely little potted plant in the corner? Why not swap it for a multi-level plant stand? It feels so much more alive and vibrant. You can fill it with a mini herb garden, some gorgeous flowers, or all those cute succulents.

Okay, I’ll admit, a DIY multi-level plant stand needs a bit more of your time compared to the other simple ideas. But if you’re comfortable working with wood, it shouldn’t be a problem at all.

You get to decide on the number of levels and the stand’s shape. And once it’s built, there are so many different ways you can style it.
