How to Choose the Perfect Plant Shelf for Your Space

Match with Decor

Consider the existing decor style of your room and choose a shelf that complements it. Here are some specific examples to help you make the perfect choice:

Timeless/Classic Decor:

If your home is full of timeless details like wainscoating and wall trim, you might decide to opt for something simple like a floating shelf or a more functional piece like this entryway shelf.

Modern/Minimalist Decor:

For a sleek, modern room with clean lines and neutral colors, a Modern Geometric Plant Shelf featuring a minimalist design would enhance the contemporary aesthetic without overpowering it. 

Rustic/Farmhouse Decor:

If your room has a rustic or farmhouse style with distressed wood furniture and vintage accessories, a Rustic Floating Plant Shelf with a reclaimed wood look would blend in seamlessly with your decor.

Bohemian/Eclectic Decor:

If your space is bohemian with lots of patterns, textures, and plants, a unique standing plant tree would fit perfectly, adding to the eclectic charm. You could also opt for hanging rope shelves, which blend perfectly with bohemian macrame decor you may already have.

Industrial Decor:

In a room with an industrial vibe featuring metal accents and exposed brick, an Industrial Pipe Plant Shelf made with metal pipes and wooden planks would complement the raw, unfinished look.

Scandinavian/Natural Decor:

For a Scandinavian-style room with light wood, natural materials, and a neutral palette, a Minimalist Ladder Plant Shelf with a natural finish would provide a simple yet stunning display for your plants.

Mixing Styles:

Some of the best interior design choices are made when different styles are mixed. If you have a lot of farmhouse decor, you could opt for wooden shelves that are more timeless and classic. If you love the Scandinavian look, adding in some more industrial pieces would add contrast and personality to your space.

Room Considerations

Think about the size and lighting of the room to ensure your plants will thrive on the shelf. The goal is to keep you plants looking great while also keeping them alive.

Small Spaces

If you have a small room, such as a bathroom or a compact kitchen, consider a Compact Corner Plant Shelf. This type of shelf maximizes display area without taking up much floor space, making it perfect for tight corners.

Large Spaces

What should you do with that big blank wall? For a spacious living room or an open-plan area, a Customizable Multi-Tier Plant Shelf can create a striking focal point. The multiple tiers allow for a variety of plant sizes, filling the space beautifully. Long, hanging tiered shelves can also fill up the space while adding some personality.

Low Light

In rooms with limited natural light, like a hallway or an interior bathroom, choose shelves that can be positioned near artificial light sources. An Industrial Pipe Plant Shelf works well here, as it can be placed under or near bright, directional lights.

You can also add plant lights to any of your shelves to bring them the life they need in any area of your home.

Bright Light

For rooms with plenty of sunlight, such as a sunroom or a south-facing window area, a Vintage-Inspired Hanging Plant Shelf can make the most of the natural light. Hanging shelves keep plants at eye level, ensuring they get ample light and are easily admired.

Material and Finish

Choose materials and finishes that align with your decor theme and personal preferences. Here are some specific examples:

Stain Colors

We offer a range of beautiful stain colors to match any decor style. From rich, dark stains that add depth and sophistication to lighter, natural finishes that highlight the wood's natural beauty, you'll find the perfect color to complement your home.

You might be wondering... What's trending for stain colors right now? We're currently getting a lot of demand for medium stain options that aren't too dark and aren't too unfinished.

But the truth is that most wood colors never go out of style and always come back in vogue. Whether you choose a dark, dramatic stain or a light, natural finish, you can be confident that your handcrafted plant shelf will remain relevant. Wood is a timeless option that will always bring a layer of authenticity to your space.
