Consider the types of stands for flowers.

Single stands for large size home flowers are called stands. They are very durable, since their purpose is to support a fairly large pot and an equally large flower in it. The drip tray under the pot must also be suitable for its weight. Indoor flowers such as ficuses, palms, hibiscus and others are usually installed on the racks.

Models on wheels make it much easier to move bulky flower pots. It can be a multi-level design to create a mini greenhouse or a single stand.

The simplest flower stand on wheels is made in the form of a small platform located in the immediate vicinity of the floor. If necessary, you can move it with your foot, clean it and put it back in place. More complex models can accommodate multiple pots.

Decorative flower stands act as a work of art in and of themselves. Fantasy ideas of designers are connected to the process of their development and manufacture. Perhaps, the most popular models are stands in the form of flower girls and bicycles... In flower girls with beautiful decorative pots, you can put a flower directly in a pot, or you can plant it directly in a stand, provided the place for placing flowers is tight.

Bicycles are very popular in large homes... The models, graceful, with beautiful wheels and curved handles, of course, do not go anywhere, they stand still and delight the eye. Almost all flower stands in the shape of bicycles are made in retro style.

Room corners are one of the most popular places in the home for flower stands. They can be single or multi-tiered and, as a rule, are very compact in width. The geometry of the tier can be round, square, rectangular. Most of these stands are floor-mounted, but there are also tabletop models.

Corner pot holders do not interfere with the passage and do not greatly limit the free space in the room.

Hanging flower stands are ideal for small spaces or rooms where the floor is completely occupied by furniture. The design of such shelves can be different and are intended for both one pot and several.

The most popular hanging flower stands are wooden structures or just straight shelves.... Their sizes depend on the number of pots that need to be placed, as well as on the space on the wall reserved for flower shelves.

Wall ladders look original and beautiful, where each step is a separate place for the pot. They can be very small - with two steps, or they can consist of six or even eight steps.

It is also common to use hanging planters in the house. There are no holes in the planter itself, so the liquid does not flow out from below.

Flower stands can be made from several types of materials.

Wood is considered the most environmentally friendly material. In addition, the tree can be painted in any color or simply varnished, highlighting the beauty of the natural material. With the help of special tools, beautiful drawings and ornaments are carved on wood.

Chipboard is considered one of the easiest and cheapest materials to make flower stands. The slabs themselves can vary in thickness, length and design. Among other advantages of chipboard as a material for shelves, one can single out ease of maintenance, durability, and a variety of materials.

Metal is often used as a frame part of a structure in flower stands with shelves made of other materials: glass, plastic, chipboard. It can also act as a monomaterial in products.

Forged metal coasters look especially beautiful... Such models are considered more robust relative to others, capable of withstanding a larger number of flower pots. The forging technique provides chic opportunities to create products in the form of flowers, chariots, strollers, bicycles, beautiful twisted masterpieces.

Plastic flower shelves are one of the most budget-friendly options for furnishing a home or apartment. They differ in a variety of colors and shapes. Plastic flower shelves are not afraid of water. They can be safely used in places with high humidity. They are also easy to care for by wiping with a damp cloth.

The weight of such shelves is small and perfectly supported by the walls, therefore they are used on walls that have a certain load limit.

Rattan flower stands become a real home decoration. Rattan can be natural and artificial. Natural rattan Are peeled and dried stems of a tropical palm tree. The length of these stems can be up to 300 meters. They bend easily and can be used to create any shape.The beautiful weave is made from the strong core of the split stem, thanks to which the shelves do not sag or change their shape. Finished rattan products are braided with leather, bark or varnished.

Artificial rattan Is an innovative material obtained by extrusion processing, that is, forcing thermally softened synthetic raw materials through holes of a certain size. With the help of this technology, ribbons with imitation of bark, round rods, flat textured stripes are obtained.

Glass flower shelves are suitable for any interior. Ample opportunities for creating the shape of the shelf help to create the outline of a particular interior. They can be round, oval, square, rectangular. Both high and low shelves for one or several flowers are made of glass.

For the manufacture of flower designs, transparent and frosted, colored, tinted glass is used.... In order to extend the life of the glass, it is tempered.

As a rule, other materials are used in the manufacture of glass shelves: metal, plastic, wood. In general, such tandems make the structure stronger.

An unusual solution to make a metal frame in the form of tree branches makes the flower stand stand out from the mass of other specimens. A small bird on one of the branches seemed to sit down to rest. Rectangular shelves are made of thick and durable glass, but due to their transparency they give lightness to the structure.
