Hanging Plant Shelf
This eight-foot-long hanging plant shelf from @styled_by_christine is suspended from the ceiling with eye hooks.
A hanging plant shelf is a great option if you’ve got limited space but still want to fill your room with beautiful greenery. This type of shelf can be hung anywhere. But near a window, as seen here, gives the plants optimal light without taking up wall space.
Tiered Plant Shelf

Place wood planks on each rung, using gradually shorter lengths as you near the top. Then sand and stain the wood shelves and the ladder. Add your favorite potted plantsand watch your babies grow!

Bedroom Plant Shelf
Is the wall above your bed blank and boring? Add a long plant shelf like @krisreneeautho! She purchased a long piece of wood from The Home Depot, spray-painted it white, then attached it to the wall with heavy-duty shelf brackets. Use a stud finder to ensure the brackets can support the weight of multiple plants.
Bookshelf Plant Shelf
Here’s another easy way to display plants, no shelf-hanging required: Use a regular bookshelfbut swap out the books for plants. Keep the look cohesive by using matching pots, as seen here in this example from @alamdalamrumah. Or if you prefer a more eclectic look, go crazy with pots in different colors, shapes and sizes.
Window Plant Shelf
Give any small, ordinary window a makeover with plant shelves!
@kelseysigarsdesigns decided to transform this transplanted garage window by attaching two scraps of wood directly to the window frame. And voilà! What once was an eyesore is now a pretty plant display and herb garden with plenty of sunshine.
Floating Plant Shelf
For the minimalist plant-lover, check out these sleek, round floating shelves. Each circular shelf is made from red oak. It can hold up to three pounds if hung with wall anchors, and up to eight pounds if attached to a wall stud. Experiment with different arrangements to make your perfect modern plant display.
