There’s something magical about walking into a home filled with lush greenery. Plants not only brighten up your interiors but also improve air quality and create a calming atmosphere. But to really make your greenery shine, styling them with the right indoor plant stand is key. Plant stands elevate your pots, add dimension to your décor, and let you turn even a small space into a mini indoor jungle.
At Metro Elegance, our wooden plant stand collection and indoor plant stand collection are designed with Aussie homes in mind, helping you bring warmth, balance, and style into any room. Here’s how to style them for a fresh and green look that feels effortless yet polished.
Start with the Right Stand for Your Space
Before styling, think about your space and what you need. A wooden plant stand works beautifully in coastal, Scandi, or boho-inspired interiors, bringing natural warmth and texture. Metal designs are sleek and modern, ideal for minimal or industrial homes.
If you’re working with a compact apartment or a small nook, a slim corner plant stand is perfect for making use of otherwise wasted space. For those with more plants or bigger rooms, a tall plant stand lets you go vertical, layering plants without cluttering the floor.
Mix Heights for Visual Interest
When styling plants indoors, variety in height is everything. Use tall plant stands to elevate large statement plants like fiddle-leaf figs or monsteras, and place smaller pots on shorter stands for balance. Layering greenery this way adds depth and makes your room feel more dynamic.
If your living room has limited natural light, grouping plants on stands near a window not only looks stunning but also ensures they get the sunlight they need.
Combine Materials for Contrast
A mix of materials adds character. A wooden plant stand paired with a ceramic pot creates a warm, earthy look. A sleek metal plant stand with a white or black planter adds a clean, contemporary feel. Don’t be afraid to mix them in the same room—wood adds warmth, while metal offers modern sharpness. Together, they balance each other perfectly.
Style by Room
-
Living Room: Use a large indoor stand to showcase your biggest plant, making it a focal point beside the sofa or entertainment unit.
-
Bedroom: Keep it calm with a single tall stand in a corner, paired with a leafy plant that adds softness.
-
Hallway: Narrow areas benefit from hallway-friendly indoor stands. Place one near the entrance for a welcoming touch.
-
Balcony/Patio: If your stand will spend time outdoors, choose a durable outdoor plant stand made to withstand Australia’s climate.
Play with Plant Types
The plants you choose are just as important as the stand. Use trailing plants like pothos or string of pearls on taller stands to create cascading greenery. For compact stands, go with upright varieties like snake plants or peace lilies. Mixing leaf textures—broad, glossy leaves with finer, delicate foliage—adds richness to your display.
Keep Balance in Mind
A common mistake is overloading stands with too many plants. Keep it simple and let each stand highlight one or two pots. If you want a fuller look, group stands of different heights together in a cluster, rather than crowding a single one. This creates a curated, intentional arrangement.
Maintenance and Care
Remember, indoor stands are not just about looks—they also protect your floors from water damage. Always use saucers or drip trays under pots. For wooden stands, wipe down any spills immediately to prevent staining. Metal stands are easier to maintain but benefit from occasional dusting to keep their finish clean.
