Does the thought of having a little nature inside your home make you giddy with excitement? Do you have a green thumb and find joy in nurturing plants? If you responded yes to both, then you’re probably an indoor plant enthusiast. And while indoor plants bring color and life to a room, finding a good place for them can be difficult. The obvious spots are window sills, the floor, and bookcases. Which works fine until you run out of room, overcrowd your plants, make the space look cluttered, and run the risk of killing your beloved plants. It's smart to have a planned spot for each plant, so let's explore how floating shelves can elevate your plant displays to the next level.
Plan Out Your Shelving
With endless floating shelf options available, they're a perfect fit for your plant perch. You can use them in a tiny corner or across an entire long wall, plus you get to choose the color, width, length, and thickness. No matter the style of your home, albeit farmhouse chic or modern, you'll be able to find shelves to fit your needs.
You know that some plants thrive right by a window, while others need a perch on the inner wall of your home with some shade. Floating shelves can be used anywhere that will benefit your plants the most. Incorporating multiple shelves also gives you the option of spacing your plants out and adding other design elements to your room. Add various textures to your shelves through the use of books, artwork, signs, and sculptures to help balance things out.
