Hardworking windowsill

Use a wide windowsill as a stage for potted plants. The collection serves as a visual barrier (and can help absorb sound) and will thrive with the natural light. Vary the silhouettes and structure of your plants for visual interest.

Second story

Is your plant collection past capacity for floor space? Create a second tier of containers by positioning pots atop and below a bench. Keep the tallest ones (and trailing ones) up top and tuck in smaller containers at front so they don't get lost on the floor.

Stool stand

Reinvent a metal chair as a unique plant stand. After removing the seat and finding a pot to fit, sand and paint the frame. Apply two coats of paint, letting the stool dry thoroughly between coats. Set in your pot and enjoy!

Living Wall

Give indoor plants a good home. This plant ladder is ideal for any attention-grabbing flora or shy bloomer, but we love it paired with one or two that cascade over the edge for the ultimate effect.
