How to Style Indoor Plants in Small Spaces: Smart Tips & Beautiful Displays
You don’t need a huge home to enjoy the beauty of indoor plants. In fact, with the right styling tricks and smart plant stands, you can transform even the smallest corners into lush, cozy green spaces. Whether you're living in a compact apartment or just want to refresh a nook in your home, here are our favorite ways to style indoor plants beautifully!
Use Vertical Space with Multi-Tier Plant Stands
Short on floor space? Go up! Our 8-Tier Indoor Plant Stand with Grow Lights is perfect for corners. The S-shaped frame adds an artistic touch while the built-in grow lights keep your plants thriving — no window required. Style it with trailing vines, succulents, and a statement hanging pot.
This stand is ideal for creating a dramatic plant display in small apartments or cozy living rooms.
Mix Planters of Different Heights and Colors
Create depth and contrast by combining pots in various shapes and colors. Try our Green Ceramic Planters for a rich pop of emerald. Group two or three in front of larger leafy plants to create a layered look.
This not only draws the eye but helps balance visual weight in your space. Mix matte and glossy finishes for texture, and vary your plant types to keep things interesting — pair broad-leafed plants with finer stems or upright shapes.
Make a Statement with Shelves
Wall-mounted shelves aren’t just for books — use them to show off your favorite plants in decorative pots. Our Rustic Floating Shelves are perfect for small planters, candles, or framed prints. Try placing one near a window for both style and sunlight.
You can also alternate plant heights and decor objects to create a balanced, curated look. This trick works beautifully in kitchens, hallways, or above a workspace to add warmth without taking up floor space.
Style Around the Sofa with Colorful Greenery
Bring life to your seating area by placing a small plant stand or pot next to your couch. Accent it with throw pillows like our Velvet Pillow Covers to create a soft, cozy corner with a fresh vibe. If your space is low on sunlight, consider products with built-in grow lights. Your plants will thank you! The 3-head grow light feature in our plant stand ensures even lower levels get the care they need.
Rotate Your Plants & Decor Seasonally
Switching your planters or stand placement keeps your space fresh and exciting. You don’t have to buy new — just move things around and play with height, balance, and color.
