Features of wooden flower stands

Houseplants remind us of the beauty of nature. Wooden stands, which have not lost their popularity for a long time, will help to support and complement the attractiveness of fresh flowers.

The flower stand is an accessory that not only helps to aesthetically position plants, but also complements them with stylish touches. The flower girl easily frees up space on windowsills and shelves. They can be made from a variety of materials, such as:

• wood;
• metal (including forged);
• plastic.

A wooden stand is the most environmentally friendly option, incapable of causing allergies and emitting harmful toxic substances. In this case, we are talking about shelves made of solid wood. The following types of wood can be used for the manufacture of flower girls:

• Birch;
• Pine;
• beech;
• oak.

The most affordable stands are made of solid pine. Birch is durable and is widely used to create flower girls in large-scale production. Oak and beech are elite types of wood and can serve for years, delighting the owners with noble shades.

Advantages of wooden stands for indoor flowers:

• environmental friendliness;
• strength;
• a variety of shades of natural wood;
• the possibility of staining;
• harmony combined with various interior styles.

Despite the fact that wood has a number of advantages, owners of wooden stands find some disadvantages in them. So, rare types of wood are quite expensive, and therefore not everyone can afford them. In addition, poor-quality wood processing can lead to its deformation and cracking from water, which somehow gets on the stand when watering plants.

Wooden flower stands are classified by:

• location;
• form;
• used material.

Today, there are floor-standing, wall-mounted, table-top, pendant, corner and window models, each of which has its own advantages. Floor-standing wooden flower boxes are racks, bookcases, shelves, screens and various types of multi-level structures. They decorate the interior, allowing:

• place plants on a stable structure;
• move the stand depending on the need of plants for sun or partial shade;
• install a flower girl anywhere in the house;
• delicately zone the room.

Note that floor stands can be stationary and mobile (on wheels), which makes their use even more convenient. Unlike floor structures, wall-mounted flower boxes do not take up a separate space, while looking stylish and organic compared to standard wall-mounted shelves.

Desktop wooden shelves are designed to decorate coffee and dining tables, in addition, they will look organically on window sills. Plants for such models should be small and preferably flowering. So, violet, adenium and haworthia can become real table decorations.

Hanging models are more rare stands for the home. Such flower girls are attached to the ceiling or to special bases on the wall.They fit especially well into interiors with high ceilings, for example, in a cafe or restaurant. Many plants look organic in hanging stands, however, in this case, it is better to give preference to such climbing species as scindapsus, ivy and wax.

The shape of wood coasters can be any, because the material provides a wide scope for design. Wooden flower girls can be in the form:

• whatnots;
• pyramids;
• imitation of a branched tree;
• racks;
• shelving on metal racks;
• columns.

High shelves, pyramids and shelves are designed to relieve the room by economically placing several flowerpots with plants in one space. Such decorative models, along with attractiveness, have excellent stability.

A flower girl made of wood can perform different tasks depending on the material used. So, manufacturing from a solid wood allows you to get beautiful laconic models that can become bright accents in a classic interior. This shelf made of tree branches is particularly original and is perfect for eco-style.

Wood is a unique environmentally friendly material that can be simple and complex, noble and rustic soft. Its harmony with many diametrically opposed styles is striking.

The lacquered wood flower stand in dark and sometimes light shades surprisingly accurately fits into most varieties of the classic style. Most often, such models allow you to place no more than two plants at the same time.

The classic style is characterized by:

• carved texture of the accessory;
• using stable legs;
• combination with other noble materials such as natural marble;
• chiseled small parts.

Such an accessory is not very tall, allowing you to enjoy the beauty of a houseplant to the fullest. The base "on the legs" adds a special originality to the models.

Eco-style, on the contrary, pleases its admirers with accessories of any shape and height. They are made in exclusively natural shades that reveal the natural beauty of the wood texture.

Among the flower girls in eco-style you can see:

• whatnots resembling stairs and stepladders;
• hanging flower boxes for large flowers;
• complex design models from branches;
• high stands in the form of a tree trunk with branches extending from it.

Stylish designs in this style combine the simplicity of the material and the creativity of its use. Accessories for flowers become a tool for immersion in the atmosphere of unity with nature.

A wooden bookcase for flower arrangements, made for the interior in the Provence style, takes on unpretentious forms. Natural shades of wood are welcome here, as well as painting the material in white, menthol and other light colors. A Provence style bookcase, as a rule, resembles rectangular shelves, located one above the other. At the same time, the boards have different widths, allowing you to place flowerpots of different sizes in the space. Plants for this direction are best used with abundant flowering, for example, violets.

Another style that is organically complemented by wooden coasters is vintage. Delicate curves and aged wood characterize this style. A white matte shelf with carved patterns of vegetation or a structure in grayish shades that set off the natural pattern of a solid massif will fill the house with quiet, dusty beauty.

In order for the accessory for indoor plants to please for a long time, it is necessary to determine in advance where the stand will be located and what types of plants will inhabit it. Small plants look good on stand-up flower beds, while larger flowers will need separate stands. Varieties with long lashes require tall or suspended structures, as opposed to low-growing species, which are harmoniously located on table stands. Do not forget about the quality of the accessory: the stand should not have any cracks, irregularities or deformations. This largely determines not only the aesthetic appearance of the product, but also its strength and durability.
