10 ways to decorate with plants on shelves

Freshen up with a pop of greenery - by Rebecca Lowrey Boyd

10 ways to decorate with plants on shelves
Chris Warnes

The fastest way to give a room a stylish makeover is to pop a plant in it.

Shelves are the perfect platform to showcase a plant. You don’t need custom shelving – a bookcase or a floating shelf in your bedroom or bathroom will do.

After some inspiration? Have a look at these shelves around the world, each adorned with beautiful plants. Bring the outdoors in for an Insta-worthy transformation.

Echando de menos mi dormitorio. ❤ ☘🌿🌾 Según me cuenta Mick, hay un par de plantas en estado crítico 😓 pero la mayoría resisten valientemente 💪💪💪 ¡Aguantad!

Tumbling plants on a shelf above the bed transform this room into an urban jungle.

Every time I go into @stacksespresso our plant wall looks more and more vibrant! 🌿 Did you know F+S does custom plant installation? You can send inquiries via email or call- link in bio! 🌿

An abundance of plants create a cascading effect on the shelves in this cafe.

My favorite shot from the @ecovative photoshoot ✨I brought items from my own kitchen to make this #shelfie feel like home- success! I may have to start carrying more of these items 🤔🙃🌿

A stack of books coupled with potted succulents enhances the calm of this kitchen.

Frida, Frida, Frida! It's all about this babe today. I never win raffles or random select contest, ever! So I was thrilled and shocked that, little old me, won this masterpiece created by: @skaynedesigns. Believe me when I profess the quality of Sharlene's work; her attention to detail is beyond impressive. If you haven't met this unique artist yet, pop on over to her page and delve in. She is one of my top follows and always good for a quick, creative pick-me-up. Ms. Khalo has found a spot on the fireplace mantel, but I'm sure she'll travel regularly around our home. Thank you, @skaynedesigns! We will treasure this always 🖤 . . . #mycuratedaesthetic #myhousebeautiful #showemyourstyled #jungalowstyle #urbanjunglebloggers #finditstyleit #howyouhome #myhomevibe #magreadyforlife #myplantlovinghome #thisiswhyihavetothriftshopeveryday #myvintagevibe #interiorstyling #sodomino #apartmenttherapy #elledecor #westelm

Plants make this fireplace mantel Insta-worthy, sitting side-by-side books, objects and artwork. The potted plants on the floor mirror the arrangement on the shelf.
