4 Floating Shelf Ideas for Your Plants
#1: Ch0nky, White Corner Floating Shelves
One of the coolest looks for plant shelving is for them to be on those nice, thick, white floating shelves (like our Aksel Premium White Floating Shelf). The green of the plants just pops amidst the occasional terra cotta pot, and each shelf can also be decorated with some family photos or simple paperback books. Perhaps a glass jar of wine corks sits in the corner, bringing some more texture to the whole look!
#2: The Motivational Arrangement
Who says it has to be just plants up on your shelves? Combine plants and their decorative pots with some of those gorgeous quote signs that you find in the home decór sections of your favorite stores. Another idea is to get one of those letter boards so that you can put up whatever motivational quote you want!
#3: The Plant-Only Vibe
Hey, maybe you literally want only plants up on those shelves! You go for it, dude! We especially love the natural wood look with terra cotta pots, glass jars for clippings, and white pots with beautiful designs. We can see it now—our Verne Alder Wall Shelf would be perfect for this application!
Just keep in mind how heavy plants can be, especially when they get watered. As plants grow, they will get heavier, too. Make sure you’re following your shelf’s guidelines for maximum weight and load balancing. For example, try not to place heavy plants near the outer edge of the shelf—this displaces the weight and makes it more likely that your shelf will break or tip.
#4: The “Modular” Plant Wall
Honest to goodness, modular shelving is sometimes the way to go, especially for plants that grow and change in size and shape as they age. With a modular plant wall, you can move shelves around easily whenever one plant starts to grow beyond its shelving boundaries.
