Indoor plants offer many benefits not just for homes but also for offices and other spaces. The way you display them also has an important impact on the way they influence you and the décor. So let’s discuss, once again, indoor plant stands, more specifically the DIY kind. Surely store-bought planters would make things a lot simpler, but then your display of plants will be lacking character. Moreover, the following DIY plant stands are pretty simple to create.
Fun DIY Plant Stands To Add More Decoration to Your Home
1. Copper and Concrete Plant Stand
Copper and concrete come together in this project featured on Camillestyles. Assuming you want to make a set of three planters similar to those in the images, you’ll need three buckets, copper pipes, and tube caps, concrete mix, glue, tape, and a cup. The planters are customizable so you can decide the exact dimensions and even the shape you want to give them.
2. DIY Wire Plant Stand
For the project on Themerrythought you’d first have to find a lampshade that has wires connecting the top and bottom. This is the most difficult part, everything else being extremely simple. In addition to this particular lampshade you’ll also need wire cutters and some spray paint in case you want to change the planter’s color.
3. Marble and Copper Plant Stands
Simplicity also defines the chic planters we found on ajoyfulriot. The materials needed for this project include copper pipes, a pipe cutter, marble tiles and very strong glue. The first step is to figure out how high you want the planter to stand and to cut the pipes to size. Then start building the frame and glue the marble tile to it.
4. A Wooden Planter Stand
A wooden planter stand can be just the thing you need to make your beautiful plants stand out in an elegant and a simple way. To build the planter, you’ll need a cedar plank for the legs and one for the base as well as some outdoor stain, a sander, a saw and wood glue. After you cut the pieces for the legs, round them and sand them. Cut holes in their sides so you can then add the x-shaped base. Put all these elements together and use glue to keep them secure. Then stain the stand.{found on remodelaholic}.
5. Create a Plant Stool From a Piano Stool
Another option when creating a plant stand can be to repurpose things you already have in your home such as for example, a piano stool. You can pretty much just take the stool, find a good spot for it and put a planter on top. Of course, you can first give it a makeover and maybe paint it. {found on nur-noch}.
6. Faux Succulent Dachshund Planter
Speaking of things you can repurpose, check out this awesome dachshund planter. Actually, this used to be a dog dish stand. It’s made of metal and looks really interesting, regardless of the function it serves. The two bowls were filled with white rocks and then succulents were added. {found on learningcreatingliving}.
7. DIY Acadia Wood Plant Stand
Now, this is a really interesting plant stand. It can hold three planters and you can make it using the Ikea PS plant stand, three wood plates, some glue, and clamps.

8. DIY Vertical Planter Garden
In case you want a stand that allows you to display multiple planters in one spot, the project featured on Rufflesandtruffles can be a perfect option.

The supplies needed include two stair risers, five planter boxes, a wood board, 4 bolts, 4 nuts, 8 washers, 28 screws, and a drill.
9. A Cube-Shaped Planter Stand
A design that’s simple, versatile, and also very easy to make can be found on Vintagerevivals. You can make it out of some square wooden dowels plus some wood glue and nails or screws. The goal is to make a cube-shaped planter stand that can hold a planter of the size you desire. So if you already have a planter in mind, use it as a reference.
10. DIY Mid-Century Planter Stand

If you have a specific type of plant pot that you want to use, the stands can be made to fit them exactly.
18. Tiered Plant Stands
Tiered plant stands are great because they can hold more than one plant which is nice if you have a collection that you want to put on display. This design has only two shelves and is made of scrap wood. It can potentially be modified to include more shelves or to have different proportions. However, we like the simplicity of this particular design. If you want to see how it was made, there’s a tutorial on anikasdiylife that you can check out.

There are lots of different materials that you can make use of when making your custom planter and concrete is one of them. The biggest advantage is that you can shape it however you want.

A plastic bucket works out great as a mold and to get that texture on the edge you can use a hammer and a flat head screwdriver. You can find more details about this project on lilyardor.

For small plant stands you can use balsa wood strips and embroidery thread to make some lovely designs like the ones featured on thelovelydrawer. You can make these in different heights and sizes and they’re easy to customize by using different thread colors or painting the wood strips. Either way, you should pair them with pots that have a lip around the top so they can rest on top of the frame.
21. DIY Rolling Plant Stand
A lot of plant stands are mainly decorative. However, certain types are also designed to be very functional. For example, this rolling stand featured on biggerthanthethreeofus is perfect for big outdoor pots that are super heavy and difficult to move. All you need to make a similar stand is a wood slice and four caster wheels. You can also use a piece of wood or plywood if you prefer a smooth, circular edge.
22. Step Ladder Plant Stand
One of the easiest ways to get a plant stand is by simply repurposing an existing item, such as a step ladder for example. This works out great if you want to make a stand for the patio or the balcony but the same design can also look beautiful indoors given the right décor. If you want to find the details of this particular project, head over to songbirdblog.

You can use it for one or several pots, depending on their size. Check out placeofmytaste for more details.

27. A Plant Stand and Side Table
This plant stand can quite easily function as a side table at any time. It definitely has the right size and shape for it plus it has a very chic and stylish look.

29. A Japanese Plant Stand
This Japanese plant stand from instructables looks exquisite and has a simple, sculptural and very elegant design with just a hint of classic and mid-century modern charm. However, although it looks very simple, it actually has a fairly complex structure. Making it from scratch is not exactly a walk in the park with the right tools and equipment you can absolutely pull it off.
30. Quick and Easy DIY Plant Stand
Here’s another iteration of a tall and narrow plant stand, this time with an x-shape base and a symmetrical structure. It’s 22’’ tall in total, including the extended boards that frame the pot. It’s not a difficult project but it does require a scroll or band saw and a nail gun. Additionally, you’ll also need wood glue, 4 pieces of 1×2 lumber cut to 22.25’’, and 4 pieces cut to 10’’. The stand featured on thestonybrookhouse has a flat black finish but, as always, this part of the project is very customizable.
31. A Modern Plant Stand Using Leftover Tiles
A cool idea that can save you time and money is to use leftover tiles as tops for your handmade plant stands (or even for custom side tables). There’s a detailed tutorial on homeyohmy which explains how this particular design can be achieved. Everything is measured according to the tile that is to become the top so keep that in mind when planning your steps.

Instead of just putting this item in the trash, turn it upside down and make it one of the most sturdy plant stands in your home. Homey Oh My shares this simple project which spruces up an old trash can to create a fun swirly pattern for your plant stand.
