Floor stands for flowers

When the flowers on the windowsill get cramped, you have to look for other possibilities. The most convenient option is a floor stand for flowers. There are for any number of flowerpots, for large and small plants, for ampelous and climbing.

Types of floor stands

Flower stands can be stationary and mobile. Furniture wheels are attached to the base or racks of the mobile ones. Low movable stands are handy for large flowers. The plant is easier to care for, and easier to clean. There are very low ones - for plants higher than a meter, there are two-tier ones - for those that have not yet grown to a meter. In any case, this type of stand is convenient for large plants. This type is also sometimes called a pedestal for flowers.

Low floor stand on wheels - for tall or heavy plants

There are also high mobile shelves or flower shelves. The number of wheels is at least four, but five is better. Not because the weight can be heavy, but because when moving a tall structure on five wheels, there is less chance of turning it over. In any model, regardless of height, swivel castors are more convenient.

Mobile shelving is convenient - no need to carry one pot at a time. Everybody ride together

By location

There are also ordinary flower stands that stand against the wall or in the middle of the room. They can also be called straight or wall-mounted. They can be flat and wide - more like a bookcase, or a collection of stands for flowerpots located at different heights. They talked about single-tier ones, and they can also have shelves for flowers located on two, three or more levels.

Corner cabinet allows efficient use of space

There are corner models. They don't have to be in the corner of the room. Can be placed next to the cabinet, which is 50-60 cm from the doorway. The place is difficult to use in a different way, and the flower stand becomes good.

Multi-tiered flower stand with emphasis on the floor and ceiling

There are flower stands. There are two options - for the entire height of the room or for the window. The mounting method is the same - on the spacer rods. Only for window options, the rod is usually one, and for those that go to the entire height of the room, they make a base of several racks. Shelves or flower stands are attached to these racks. It is convenient if the shelves for flowerpots can be moved at your discretion to the desired height. But in this case, you need to look to ensure that the retainer is reliable - if a pot with a flower falls from a height of two meters, it will not seem a little. The second point is the ease of fastening. It usually has clamps or screws. With clamps, it is faster to move the shelves, but they are less reliable. Screws take longer and require a screwdriver. But you can tighten as required.

What materials are they made of

Human fantasy is amazing. They make unusual things out of completely banal things. Or, conversely, materials that seem to be unacceptable for this type of product are used. And what's interesting is that they are even better than the usual ones.

A tree trunk and water pipes - can also be the basis for a floor stand for flowers

Metal

The floor shelf for flowers can be made of metal - forged or welded. Forging is not the easiest craft, so forged stands can either be bought ready-made, or ordered in a workshop for your dimensions or according to your sketch. This is good, but not cheap. There is such a type of work with metal as cold forging.You can do interesting things with a pipe bender and some other devices. This is already an option for self-production. But the fragments will need to be connected by some method. Most often welding is used for this. If you can, great. There are a lot of options. Can be made from a bar - round or flat. A dozen options in the photo below.

In most products, style is difficult to define

You can find options from a profile pipe. Those who can cook metal, they can weld a base from a profile pipe, and stands for flower pots from a bar. There are very interesting models of metal stands for flowers in a modern style.

Metal floor stand - not necessarily curls

You can, as in the photo, use stainless steel pipes. Such a flower pedestal will fit into a modern style. There are spray paints that can have an interesting effect. If you "age" the paint, you can put it in loft-style room... If you apply paint with a metallic effect, you can fit into hi-tech and other techno directions.

Original metal flower stands

Whatever one may say, when working with metal you need welding. Welding machines in private households are not so rare today. But not everyone has it. In principle, some materials can be dispensed with without welding.

You can also make a stand from the remains of copper pipes

If there are leftover copper pipes, you can make a flower stand out of it. Copper can be bent, but soldering is required where that does not work. But since tightness is not needed in this design, glue can be used. If you know how to cut threads, you can assemble from old water pipes using fittings.

Wood

An equally common option is a wooden floor stand for flowers. Often there is one or more stands on one stand. Shelves are attached to the racks, on which flowerpots are placed. There can be only one stand on one rack, or several. They are often directed in different directions.

Single-tier, two-tier, multi-tiered wood stands

There are "classic" options, more like whatnots. They can be assembled from varnished or painted wooden planks. The height, number, and size of the levels all vary.

Floor stand in the form of a shelf for a different number of flowerpots

In general, it is quite a handy thing if there is enough free space. If desired, backlighting can be made for lower levels. Such shelves are good for seedlings, if they have to be grown not in a technical room. They both look good and make it easy to care for plants.

If you want to do it yourself: a couple of dimensional drawings

You can make a stand for flowers in the form of a ladder from wood. Moreover, the ladder can take up little space if the steps are directed along the wall. The option on the right, by the way, is made up of two corner shelves. It is more convenient to make them in this form - more reliable support. The option on the left is not only for flowers, but also for decorative items.

A floor stand is often needed on a balcony or loggia. If there is a free wall, it can be made full width. Here, again, it is more convenient to use wood.

Options for a balcony or loggia, but not only

You can make a structure out of small wooden boxes. They can be twisted together with self-tapping screws - wall to wall, or with the help of strips. Then you can come up with more combinations.

Racks and shelves. Only two components, but how many options. The floor stand for flowers has an endless number of variations

In general, wood is a very good material for independent work. It's simple, especially if the design isn't too complex. Nails or screws are not a problem even for those who are not too experienced.

Combination options

If the relationship with wood and metal does not work out, you can use the materials that are used in the manufacture of furniture. Furniture round tube with various fixings and laminated chipboard or MDF. These are the options that are popular among DIYers. It's not a problem to buy a pipe. It is round, square, rectangular. Each version has a different wall thickness, different size / diameter. There are nickel plated, there are colored ones. The pipe is sawn with an ordinary hacksaw for metal into pieces of the desired length. It is attached to the shelves with special flanges. There are also tees, crosses, shelf holders, etc. A set of fittings - for any request and any design. To collect, you need a drill and a screwdriver or screwdriver. Drill - pre-drill holes for the installation of fasteners, a screwdriver or screwdriver - to install self-tapping screws.

Assembled from furniture pipe and MDF or chipboard

As stands for flowerpots, shelves are attached to the pipe, which are most often cut out of laminated furniture chipboard. They can also be cut out by yourself, then stick on end edge tape... If you don't feel like messing around, you can order cutting and edging in the furniture shop. It is quite inexpensive. And the assembly is already yours.

Less common are baskets for installing glass pots. The glass is thick, multilayer. In terms of operation, it will be more reliable than laminated chipboard, less capricious than wood. But you have to be able to work with glass. You need to make special frames or a footprint. Although, you can just stick on top. But edge grinding is easier to order in a glass workshop.

Floor stand with glass shelves

Glass can be colored or white, opaque or transparent. It is better not to use a patterned one - it will be more difficult with cleaning. In principle, it may not be glass, but transparent monolithic polycarbonate. There are sheets of different thickness.

Unusual shapes

You can make unusual things out of the most common materials. The floor stand for flowers is no exception. For example, a stand-stand on which you can put pots and hang flowerpots with ampelous plants. Simply? Yes. But only after I saw the picture.

Unusual shapes from common materials

Or shelving in the shape of the letter "A". Stable construction, easy to implement. It can be made in several versions. The shelves, by the way, can all be of the same length, made according to the size of the base (as in the photo) or have their own characteristics - "protruding" outside the frame to different lengths.

Symmetry always appeals to us

You can make the floor flower bed symmetrical. It can consist of two mirrored halves. As an option in the photo on the right. And it looks good against the wall. And on the sides of the passage or door will be even more interesting.

Modern flower stands

Recently popular interiors are increasingly striving for geometrically simple and laconic forms. And we like them precisely for their simplicity. But not everyone is ready to give up plants. The good news is that even the laconic styles of "techno" directions can fit plants. Their form should also be laconic and strict. As is the floor stand. See for yourself. Coasters can be made from metal and wood in any style. Even for hi-tech or minimalism. And it's not even worth talking about a loft or rustic. There are a lot of interesting ideas.

For maximum effect, you need to choose the right shape of the plant.

Even banal pieces of wood can be used to make non-banal things.

Are there thick tree stumps? Make rustic coasters

Some ideas are easy to implement, but they all look very modern.
