From mid-century stands to bamboo shelves, find the perfect home for your plant.
You work hard to keep your plants alive, so there's no denying you have every right to show them off. Plant stands do just that—they prop them up, add some color and dimension, and create a space that's dedicated to your houseplants. In some cases, they can even help the plants stay healthy and grow faster. No matter your level of plant care experience or your home's decor style, there's a perfect plant stand out there for you and your plants—and it's probably on this list.
First, there are a few different types of stands to consider when choosing a home for your plant baby:
When shopping for a plant stand, make sure that it's made of water-resistant material, open enough to receive plenty of airflow, and won't block light. And most importantly, have fun! Once you're confident in your green thumb, mix and match all different types of plants and stands to create your own indoor jungle. Ahead, the 25 best plant stands for your home.
Bloomscape, one of our favorite online shops for live plants, also has everything you need to keep plants happy and healthy once they arrive at home—like this classic wood plant stand. It is perfect for medium to extra-large plants that require a pot that is 8-12 inches in diameter.
This antique-looking end table will add some chic pizzazz to your space, and your plant will look all the more glamorous perched on top of it!
If you want a stand that's versatile, this adjustable wood plant stand is a great option. It can be flipped to work as a tall or short stand and fits any pot that's 8-12" in diameter.
This mid-century planter has it all—a wood stand and a matching extra-large 14-inch ceramic planter. It is low to the ground and sturdy made to hold your heaviest plant or eldest indoor tree. (PSA: it's discounted over $70 off right now to $107!)
Whether you have rattan accents in your home or are obsessed with a bohemian aesthetic, you'll love the laidback feel of this planter. It comes in three different sizes with an open lattice weave. This stand is great for keeping new plants in their plastic nursery pots if they aren't quite ready to be repotted.
Choose a set of two planters and accompanying iron stands for the perfect bang for your buck. The metallic finishes (they come in shiny white, silver, gold, or black) are great if you have a glam decor style, or prefer metal accents to wood.
If you are looking for a home for a smaller plant, a plant stool is a great alternative to a plant stand. They have a lower profile and take up less space, and are also a great way to arrange your plants at different heights. This white stool would make a lovely companion to a colorful flowering plant, like a bromeliad.
Here's a wood plant stool that will blend into any space or decor style effortlessly. It fits so many different pot sizes—anything up to 10 inches in diameter—and has a subtle design so your plant will be the star of the show. Plus, assembly is a breeze.
Looking for a stool that is as much a part of the display as the plant itself? Opt for this live edge wood stool. It is made of reclaimed cedar stumps, so each stool is as unique as the plant it's supporting. Plus, it'll work just as great as an end table or footrest, sans plant.
This stool has enough height to fill an empty corner or anchor a smattering of shorter plant stools. It's also tall enough to house a trailing plant that grows long over the edge like a string of pearls succulent. If gold isn't your thing, it also comes in black, white, or brown.
For the plant parent who has a favorite (shhh, we won't tell), this groovy stool will that you want to stand out among all the others. It can sit on the floor or even on top of a desk or table to give extra dimension, and comes in three whimsical color options: swimming pool blues, sweet red + pink, or fresh greens.
A plant stand in the style of a table is the way to go if you're limited on space, since it can double as an end table or side table. This three-tired option would look great in a sunny corner next to a cozy chair or sofa.
This metal plant table comes in two different options: a wide version that holds one plant or a slightly taller version with two shelves. Either way, the basins are large enough to store remotes, keys or other knick knacks with a plant friend.
Save big on this minimal plant stand from Amazon! It's made of sturdy rust-proof metal and the two trays are removable for easy watering and cleaning. It has about 20 inches of open air between the two shelves, meaning it can easily hold two medium-height, leafy plants.
Each shelf on this tiered stand one rotates, so you can easily adjust your plants to get just the right dose of light. Even better? It comes fully assembled, so it's ready to go as soon as it arrives.
For the plant lover running low on floor space, a plant shelf is undoubtedly the way to go. This one will hold seven medium-sized plants but only takes up a 15-inch footprint, making it the perfect choice for a small space or corner that gets that just-right sliver of light.
This plant shelf has three wide ledges for plants of all shapes and sizes. Each shelf gets progressively more narrow, so you can arrange your larger plants on the bottom and small succulents on the top. The thick wood beams would be perfect for wrapping the stems and leaves of a vining plant, like a pothos or philodendron. It also folds flat so it's easy to move around.
If you have high-maintenance plants that need a grow light, opt for this floating shelf with a built-in grow light. It comes in a landscape option that's 20 inches wide and would fit about three small plants, or a portrait option that's more narrow and meant to showcase one medium plant. You'll be happy to see it show off your plants as the works of art they are.
A ladder bookshelf is a great way to make your plants the focal point in any room. Turn each shelf into a mini-greenhouse by grouping plants based on their care needs and they will thrive together!
Though technically less of a stand and more of a hanger, this plant shelf will hold all your green babies just the same. It is specifically designed to be hung over a window, perfect for plants that need plenty of natural light. It works just as good hung on the wall, too, if you want to create a living wall.
This oversized plant shelf will turn your outdoor space into a green oasis. Perfect for a backyard, patio, or balcony, it has 17 shelves, so it will fit that many plants at a minimum, but you could definitely fit 2-3 small plants on each shelf. It's made of eucalyptus wood that is weather safe and comes with plastic joints for assembly—no screws or nails needed!
Similar to the classic three-tiered plant stands above, this stand is actually for outdoor use. It's perfect for small outdoor spaces like a terrace or apartment balcony. Unlike most other options, it also includes the three cement planters pictured.
This utilitarian metal shelf comes in a 2-shelf, 3-shelf, or 4-shelf configuration. It's made of steel so it's very sturdy and can support heavy plants, but is also lightweight enough to easily move indoors or outdoors.
Inspired by the classic bamboo-style plant shelf, this stand features an adjustable rod for hanging planters, so you can show off even more styles of plants and flowers. While it could be used indoors, we love this as an outdoor option featuring hanging flowers like petunias, impatiens, or chrysanthemum.
This rolling cart would make a wonderful (and mobile!) potting station. The wide shelves have plenty of room for storing soil, extra planters, and a watering can, it is made of metal so it wipes clean, and it folds up for easy storage.
