Designer Advice
What we find particularly interesting about retro style is that it’s more generic than other aesthetics. Since it encompasses a variety of trends from the 50s to the 80s, there’s really no wrong way to go about it. For instance, despite its unique design, this stylish plant stand looks equally fabulous in a traditional, contemporary, Bohemian, and glam-inspired space.

Designer Advice
Not sure what types of planters go well with this striking plant stand? For starters, white is the way to go if you want to play it safe and shine full focus on the green foliage and plant stand itself. For a bolder approach, we suggest playful patterned pots, such as a hammered one, a design with Aztec motifs, or a textured flowerpot for added personality.

Designer Advice
Prefer colorful accent pieces over neutral ones? If yes, this one's for you. Indeed, retro color palettes are varied enough to range from neutral to vivid to faded. For this plant stand, we highly recommend pairing it with other cheery colors for a groovy ‘70s interior. Some examples are an orange velvet sofa, a yellow accent wall, or perhaps a red patterned rug.

This set keeps it simple with open shelving and a splayed frame. What’s quite noticeable, though, is the varying heights that bring visual interest and dimension to the space. There’s also the possibility of using them separately throughout the home and garden if that suits you better. While they’re great for housing potted plants, they also pull double-duty as a display shelf for your favorite decor items.

Fresh plants do more than provide a graceful look. Some plants provide air cleaning properties that make a room feel fresh and clean. The right plant holders will add balance to a room with complementary shapes and colors. Whatever your reason for adding fresh plants to a room, choose contemporary plant stands that show off their healthy status. Attractive stands will give you the opportunity to display your beautiful green friends with the utmost respect. Living plants will liven up any room when shown on a prestigious base. Here are some options to choose from:
Shiny Copper Plant Stands
Copper plant stands are typically designed to look minimal, but they bring maximum effect with their simple designs and irresistible rosy hues. They will frame your plants beautifully and complement a modern home in a picture worthy fashion. Small models are perfect for desk decor and great for gifting to any green-fingered friend.
Short Plant Stands
Beautiful plants come in all sizes and presenting a small prized species does not have to go unnoticed. Most short models stand just under 18" and will look amazing next to a window, desk or an empty corner. Great for African Violets, small sculptured fir trees or air plants, small contemporary stands are versatile enough to also use as accent tables indoors or out.
Natural Teak Pedestals
Nature takes center stage with a gorgeous chunk of natural teak wood. A handcrafted piece will most certainly demand a prominent spot in your home and accentuate the beauty of whatever object it holds. Perfect for displaying plants in a contemporary setting or any lovely piece of sculpture that deserves attention and respect.
3-Piece Plant Stands
An array of different sized stands will hold your most prized plants together to create a magical dimension to your living room, foyer or kitchen. Use as a grouping or spread around the house in empty corners for a delightful touch of nature.
Multiple Tier Plant Holding Stands
Starter plants or herbs will find plenty of space on contemporary plant stands that are made up of a multiple-tier system. Not only will they give you plenty of space to tend to growing plants, but they will also add visual interest to your room with shelves at different levels. Lovely enough to place by a sunny window indoors or outside on a patio, a simple contemporary stand will be able to capture plenty of light for healthy growth.
If you don't like the selection of plant stands on sale or you're on a tight budget, the Internet brims with fabulous ideas for DIY plant stands that will hold your plants just as nicely as store-bought stands. Examples include painted wood logs, concrete plates resting on copper legs, repurposed stools, and a lot more.
