Stylish Wall Planters You Can Buy Or Make Yourself
The walls are not just for paintings or shelves. In fact, if you’d rather do something special for your home, you should try decorating the walls in a less common and mainstream manner. We suggest wall planters. They make spaces look fresh and they’re great if you want to add some color to a room without being too obvious while at the same time inviting nature into your home. Wall planters are more versatile and more interesting than we often consider them and this can be viewed as an opportunity to create something surprisingly beautiful.
Cool 35 Wall Planter Ideas
Wall planters you can make
Individual planters can be mounted on a wall just like you’d hang framed pictures or paintings to create a gallery display. This can be easily done using a drill and some wall anchors. You can use simple terra-cotta pots since the plants are the ones that stand out. You can hang the pots at different heights to create a unique arrangement, in a way similar to what’s shown on themerrythought.
Instead of attaching the planter itself directly to the wall, an idea can be to build a sort of frame around it. This way the planter is removable and you can just leave the frames in place and rearrange the plants however you want. The frame can be triangle-shaped and you can built it out of scrap wood or from an old picture frame. You’ll also need a drill, screws, wall plugs, a hammer, nails, wood glue and a screwdriver. The rest of the details can be found on burkatron.
If you prefer a more organized and compact look, you can arrange several small planters in a grid and attach them to a wooden panel which is mounted to the wall. Each planter can be held by a ring and they can be rearranged as desired. Shanty-2-chic offers a really nice tutorial regarding this project. You can use this as a decor feature for the dining room, living area but also in the kitchen where instead of flowering plants you could grow herbs.
How about repurposing a wooden pallet? That usually works…given how versatile these things are. You can turn a pallet into a support structure for planters and since you’re eco-friendly and all you could also repurpose some glass jars or some tin cans instead of using pots. You can hang them with wire, rings or you can come up with your own custom idea. Check out stylemepretty for reference.
Isn’t this arrangement just pretty? You have three rectangular wooden boxes, each able to two or three planters or a planter and a vase or a picture frame. It’s a beautiful combination of decorations with lots of character and the best thing about it is the simplicity. This is something you can put together yourself if you have some wood and a bit of paint or wood stain. You can find out more about it from the description offered on littlevintagenest.
Geometric shelves and wall displays go great with modern and contemporary interior designs. Let’s see how you can built a triangle-shaped wall planter. You’ll need some things, including three pieces of plywood, some wood glue, a saw, a drill, some nails and a hammer. Cut the plywood pieces at a30 degree angle and cut a hole the size of the planter at the center of one of them. Glue the pieces together to form a triangle and then use nails to secure it. Hang it with screws. {found on themerrythought}
Anything shaped like a hexagon looks nice in a modern and minimalist setting. An interesting idea suggested on cottonandcurls is to use a shadowbox to create a succulent planter which can be displayed on walls. If you’re worried about how you’re going to water the succulents or the lack of sunlight, you can use faux plants instead.
It seems hexagonal wall planters are quite popular. They’re also surprisingly versatile. The version showed on stylemepretty has this panel at the bottom which encloses this section of the shelf, making it easier to use it as a planter. You can also hide small vases in there so only the flowers are showing.
A vertical garden is quite a challenge. If built right, it should be sturdy, durable and user-friendly, not to mention fresh and good-looking. You’ll probably need a tutorial if you’re to craft one. You can find one on 17apart. It shows you how to put together the planter from start to finish and it also offers a complete list of all the materials and tools required for the project.
We came across the very interesting idea of combining a vertical planter with a house number. The project is featured on sarahhearts and requires the following supplies: a circle wall planter, house numbers, spray paint and primer, glue, a drill, screws and, of course, potting mix and succulents. You can display your creation on the wall right next to your front door or on your porch.
Instead of a mainstream plant pot perhaps you’d like to be original by using something else. It’s always fun to repurpose things and to recycle. In this case, you could turn some baskets into planters. You can hang them with wire and they can become wall decorations displayed next to a mirror or a framed picture. The ones featured on akailochiclife are filled with faux plants.
Speaking of recycling and repurposing, we absolutely must mention mason jars again. Turning them into vases or planters requires very little effort and they’re excellent especially in rustic or retro settings.

A nice example can be found on akailochiclife, a hanging bowl planter that was spray painted which completely changed its look.
You can also make a lovely hanging planter out of various cool finds, like vintage cheese boxes for instance. In this tutorial from petticoatjunktion you can see there are two boxes and one is smaller than the other. Since they’re pretty old and not in the best of conditions, they needed a bit of sprucing up using some wax. That really refreshed them and make this unique planter even better-looking.
It’s quite understandable to want a bit of greenery in your home but not the actual living plant itself.

It’s vibrant, eye-catching and really easy to make as well. You can make a few of these leaves and display them in a cool way in your home.

Show some love for the outdoor areas as well. Even if you don’t have a big garden you can still have greenery outside. A cute idea comes from cieradesign where you can find out how to turn tin cans into cute hanging planters that you can use to decorate fences and walls with.

The idea of having fresh plants and herbs in the kitchen is definitely very appealing but as soon as you start to think of how you’re going to make it happen it turns into a real challenge. The plants need light and there’s usually no space to spare in front of the window. Luckily, you can easily solve this issue with a custom hanging system like the one featured on thebirdandhersong. This works great if you have wall cabinets on either side of the window.
