Indoor plants make sense on so many levels, but arguably more so when you live in an urban area.

They oxygenate the space, add natural form to spaces often locked between buildings and they look pretty nice too.

Green is a naturally calming colour, so if you’ve opted for non-flowering plants, they can add a soothing tranquillity to your space too.

Housed in pots, they often sit on the floor or take up shelf or table space, but there’s another way to display them without sacrificing your square footage.

Specially made to prop up plants so they can reach adequate daylight or just appear more sculpturally appealing, plant tables and stands are a lovely addition to your burgeoning nursery.

There are designs that can hold multiple plants as well as shelf-style stands to create a waterfall of greenery.

We’ve rounded up the most aesthetically pleasing options to help you find your perfect one.

A contemporary look for modern homes, give three of your best plant babies the spotlight with this table, which features three shelves at various heights. Each shelf can support up to 2kg, whether that’s potted plants or bouquets in vases. Also available in white faux marble with gold coloured hairpin legs.

Three tiers of natural woven rattan offer plenty of space to showcase your succulents, ferns and monsteras. Each oval-shaped shelf is supported by a wooden frame, painted black to offer a striking contrast, making it a feature piece. Measures 59 x 80 x 30cm.

Set it on a sheltered patio or bring a wall of green indoors with this bamboo frame design, which combines shelves with a pole so you can display your trailing hanging plants too. Each shelf has space to accommodate pots or planters, allowing you to build a vertical bespoke display for your home. With a max weight of 92lbs, it needn’t be dedicated to botanicals only - use the bottom shelf as a shoe rack, or alternate greenery with books and ornaments to mix things up.

You won’t have to choose between your favourites thanks to this twin set of black powder-coated stands from Dunelm. The wide bases allow you to group plants together to achieve beautiful textures: potted varieties alongside bunches of freshly cut flowers and interesting ornaments. One stand is slightly smaller than the other offering variety in height.

If you prefer a natural look, head to Dunelm where you can pick up this twin tier rattan plant stand, made from light blonde cane. The handmade design is a lovely choice for displaying plants indoors and is easy to keep clean with a soft cloth. Measures: 57 x 28 x 28cm.

Free up floor space by stacking plants on top of each other in a vertical display. This streamlined steel frame from Amazon has two tiers and can hold pots with a 23cm diameter. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, position it anywhere in your home that could do with a bit of life: think hallways, living rooms, balconies, gardens, terraces or patios. The top shelf can also serve as a side table, with a bushy plant on the lower.

Fans of rattan will adore this blonde wood design, woven into a propped up basket that’s ready to welcome potted plants up to 45cm in diameter. The stand features a looped base, tapping into the laid back boho look. Measures 40 x 46 x 46cm.

Alongside a chic collection of furniture and furnishings, MADE offers a nifty line of home accessories to help breathe life into your space. Take these planters, for instance. Standing at a height of 57cm and 71cm respectively, they feature removable bowls on square steel frames, allowing you to display your favourite leaves while still feeling airy. Set beside the TV or along a hallway wall for best results.

A nice way to break up rows of bookshelves or create a room divide, this 100 per cent solid wood plant stand is set on wheels, allowing you to move it easily around your space. The vertical design offers lots of space to display the result of your green-fingered prowess, but for added stability, it’s best to place the heaviest plants at the base and the lightest on the upper tiers. Self-assembly is required, so one for DIY fans.

Chic, practical and at a price that can’t be sniffed at, this two tier plant stand is ready to liven up unloved corners. Any houseplant will look stunning against the all-black design, which is for indoor use only. Measures 28 x 60 x 28cm.
