As a proud plant parent, you want to show off those babies you’ve nurtured. But there are a lot of different ways to do that, and often a furniture piece that wasn’t necessarily designed as a plant stand is a great option. Finding a multipurpose item that can do double duty as a plant stand can be a space and budget saver. Here are some of our top picks.

A Desk Hutch

Transform your workspace into a verdant oasis by using a desk hutch to display both plants and your office supplies, sales samples, or reference books. The height of the hutch makes it a great option for trailing plants such as red herringbone plant, burro’s tail, golden pothos, or heart-leaf philodendron. You can also showcase upright and flowering varieties like asparagus fern, polka dot plant, kalanchoe, and cute succulents.

A Tiered Utility or Bar Cart

With a tiered utility cart or bar cart, you can use all the shelves for plants, or still use some to store your books, beverages, or knick-knacks, and use the others to showcase your gorgeous greenery. Bonus: most of these carts have wheels, so your plants are now mobile and easy to move when you rearrange the room or to maximize their light exposure as seasons change.

A Stool or Pedestal

If you’ve been coaxing that slow-growing monstera or dracaena along, but it’s still not quite tall enough to be visible from its spot behind a chair, give it a little boost with a stool or pedestal. If the stand itself will be behind furniture in a spot it won’t be seen, opt for something inexpensive like a plastic step stool or a taller stacking stool. Once your plant has grown enough, it can move down to the floor and the stool can go back to its original job. If the stand is visible, go for something sleek like this clear acrylic pedestal or add a splash of color and pattern with this altar mediation table.
