Modern Planter and Stand: Shop Stylish Designs for Your Home!
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Okay, so I’ve been wanting to add some greenery to my living room, and I decided to get crafty and make my own modern planter and stand. I’m no expert, but it turned out pretty good, so I thought I’d share how I did it.

Getting Started

First, I needed a plan. I wanted something simple, clean lines, you know, that whole modern vibe. I sketched out a basic cylindrical planter and a simple, crossed-leg stand. Nothing fancy, just something that would look good and not fall apart.

The Planter

I grabbed a big plastic bucket from the hardware store – the kind you’d use for mixing cement or whatever. It was cheap, sturdy, and the perfect size. I didn’t want to use clay or ceramic pot, because the big one is so heavy. I also needed some concrete mix. This part was a bit messy, fair warning.

  • I mixed the concrete according to the instructions on the bag. Make sure you wear gloves and a mask for this, it gets dusty.
  • Then, I greased the inside of the bucket with some cooking oil (yep, just regular cooking oil!) so the concrete wouldn’t stick.
  • I poured the concrete into the bucket, about halfway full.
  • Next, I took a smaller plastic container (like a big yogurt tub) and greased the outside of that. I pushed this smaller container into the center of the wet concrete, creating the space for the plant.
  • I weighed down the inner container with some rocks so it wouldn’t float up.
  • Then it was just a waiting game. I let the concrete dry for a couple of days, checking on it occasionally.

Once it was completely dry, I carefully pulled out the inner container and then flipped the whole thing over and tapped the bucket until the concrete planter popped out. It wasn’t perfect, there were a few air bubbles, but I liked the slightly rough, industrial look.

The Stand

For the stand, I used some leftover wood I had lying around. I cut four pieces of equal length for the legs and two shorter pieces for the cross supports.

  • I sanded down all the pieces to get rid of any rough edges.
  • Then I used wood glue and some screws to attach the legs together, forming two “X” shapes.
  • I let the glue with screw dry.
  • After that I use glue and screws to attach the two “X” shapes to the shorter cross supports, making sure it was all level and stable. I didn’t want a wobbly stand!

I decided to leave the wood natural, but you could totally paint or stain it to match your style. I used wood stain to paint the stand with a dark brown color.

Putting It All Together

Finally, I placed the concrete planter on top of the stand. It fit perfectly! I added some potting soil and a nice, leafy plant, and boom – instant modern greenery.

Honestly, the whole project was easier than I thought it would be. It took a bit of time, mostly waiting for things to dry, but it was totally worth it. I’m pretty proud of my DIY planter and stand, and it adds a nice touch to my living room. If I can do it, you definitely can!
