A huge variety of the kingdom of indoor plants corresponds to an equally luxurious selection of all kinds of supports for them. This piece of furniture can be made of a variety of materials, in any color and any shape. Depending on all these characteristics, the purpose of a particular stand is also determined.
To summarize, there are several main types:
The main materials from which this decor element can be made:
The material and especially the color have practically no effect on the comfort of placing the plant, and they must be chosen from the position of compatibility with the rest of the interior elements. Very interesting compositions can be made from metal in the form of a bookcase or stairs with glass shelves, or an imitation of a bicycle with a wicker basket in which flower pots will be placed.
At first glance, it may seem that choosing a stand is an extra expense, and the flowers will feel great when placed in rows on windowsills or on the floor. But in fact, this piece of furniture can help in solving a number of problems.
Thanks to the use of this decorative item, you can easily move flowers to the optimal places for them in terms of lighting or humidity, as well as move them for cleaning.
A single rack can become a stylish accent in the interior. As a rule, they are made of very durable materials that can withstand the heaviest pot with a large plant. When choosing it, it is necessary to take into account the height to which the flower can stretch, as well as the height of the ceiling in the room.Similar items are usually used for ficuses, hibiscuses and palm trees, but a tall stand with green waves of an ampelous climbing plant hanging from it will look no less impressive.
Racks or slides for several flowerpots can have a different shape. There are vertical, horizontal, A-shaped and a number of other racks with a different number of places on which you can put flowers. When placing them, it is necessary not only to try to select plants that look harmonious together, but also to try so that the weight of the pots on different sides is approximately the same. This will give it additional stability and will prevent tipping over due to excessive load on one of the sides.
Shelves with wheels are suitable for heavy, bulky flowerpots, as well as for mini-greenhouses of dozens of pots, the lower of which are a few centimeters from the floor, and the upper ones are right under the ceiling. It is necessary to pay attention to the material from which the wheels are made, as well as to the reliability of their fastening, in order to be sure that even the heaviest pot cannot break them.
Decorative coasters amaze with their diversity. They can be made in the form of any piece of furniture, animals or birds, vegetables and fruits, and anything else, up to retro-style bicycles. In some of them it is necessary to put flowers in pots, in others direct planting is allowed, provided that the walls are completely sealed and it is possible to create drainage to remove excess moisture from the roots.
Corner single-tier and multi-tier supports are very popular precisely because of their shape. Placed in a corner, the flowers occupy a minimum of space in the room, do not visually hide its size and do not interfere with free movement around it.These decor items can be of any shape: round, square, rectangular, etc. There are also desktop corner models.
Hanging stands are an indispensable option for rooms of small size or fully occupied by furniture. They can be designed for one plant or for several. One of the most common types of such interior items is a hanging planter. It is necessary to pay attention to the strength of the material from which the mount is made in order to avoid trouble in the form of a flower pot that has fallen from above.
Support in the form of a wall ladder. It can be of various heights and widths, consist of any number of steps, usually from two to eight.
In order for this piece of decor to look the most advantageous, you need to follow a few simple rules.
One of them is the correct placement of pots on multi-tiered racks. The largest and heaviest flowerpots should be placed on the lower tier, the smallest on the top.
It is important that all pots, regardless of size, fit together, even if they are not exactly the same. This can be achieved in several ways:
In matters of choosing a color, the use of white is almost a win-win option, which is able to fit into any interior and gives it lightness.
Be sure to correlate the material of the stand and the style of the room.The most chic forged item will look alien in a classic interior or in Provence style, for which wooden shelves are perfect. But it will fit perfectly into a loft or high-tech room with metal decoration.
Country style goes great with wooden or rattan coasters, especially when there is other wooden furniture in the room. Rattan perfectly complements the eco-style. Glass supports are more suitable for new styles in the interior, including high-tech, especially if they are made in combination with metal. A wooden or wrought iron stand with rich carvings and many decorative elements will be a worthy addition to a baroque room.
When placing flowers in rooms with high humidity, for example, in a bathroom, you should not take shelves made of chipboard, which can quickly become unusable, it is better to give preference to plastic. If direct sunlight falls on it, care must be taken that the material of this decor item does not fade or deform under the influence of the sun.
It is necessary to calculate the load that the stand can withstand. As a rule, plastic products are unsuitable for large and heavy flowerpots, while forged ones can easily support the weight of the heaviest tree without the slightest deformation.
When using wall ladders and whatnots, make sure that the inclined structure is firmly fixed and will not slide on the floor. Other types of structures also need to be checked for strength, reliability and the absence of distortions.
You always need to correlate the size of the stand and the area of \u200b\u200bthe room. If it is small, it is better to use compact wall and hanging options.
You can use decor items with several purposes. For example, part of the shelves of the rack will be used for its intended purpose, under flower pots, while others will be placed books, souvenirs or other decorative elements.
