THE GREEN SCENE IS ALIVE

If you’re lucky, your plants will outlive your decor. Fortunately for the green thumbs of the world, indoor plants don’t go out of style, and designers and retailers are keen to give us new ideas to display them. Alykhan Velji has scoured the design world

1. Retro Plant Table — Cult Design

I love a piece of furniture that does double duty. This curious little piece from Cult not only serves has a great side table or night stand but as a plant holder as well. The hairpin legs give the piece a mid-century feel while the top could pass as reclaimed. The space for storage adds additional functionality and visual interest.

2. Satsumas Plant Stand — Ikea

Another statement piece is this ladder-style plant stand, which works indoors or out. It is the perfect element to cover bare walls and add some height, especially in a small space. The bamboo base is organic and the white pots add a modern statement.

3. Iris Planter Chevron Stand — West Elm

The base and vessel is a match made in heaven, something organic and bowl-like paired with a geometric base is perfection. Love the idea of planting tropicals in this duo and moving them from your indoors to out with the seasons. I would also create my own succulent garden for added texture to the space.

4. Macrame Plant Hanger — AVD Shoppe

Macrame is back with a vengeance and these custom-designed plant hangers from AVD Shoppe are the perfect design elements to fill the empty corner of a room. By themselves or in a grouping, they are a gentle nod to the ’70s but the simple design and brass details mean they are not your grandma’s macrame planters.

5. Modular Living V-Plant Wall Planter — Wayfair

A living wall doesn’t have to be an entire wall, it can work well with your existing art collection or take up a special little spot that needs a refresh. This modular system is great because you can create your own custom design with the planters and then fill as you see fit with palms, succulents, or even herbs for a kitchen area.
