Best plant tables and stands: give your plant babies the setting they deserve

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.
