You've Not Seen It All Until You've Checked Out These Trendy Plant Frames

Decorative pots, hanging glass cylinders, propagation stations — even common household items can be turned into planters! The list of vessels you can keep your plant babies in is endless, so finding anything "new" seems off the table, right? Wrong. 

While there are still countless creative ways you can display your leafy friends, one of the most inventive and stylish is with frames to make your plants look like works of art on your walls. These hanging platforms provide a space to house your potted flora and fauna, with a framed border that makes them the focal point of any room and also brings a gallery vibe to your decor. If you've been looking for new and inventive ways to enjoy your plants, you need a few of these in your home.

The Amazon SKEINGD Picture Frame Wall Plant Holder might not sound groundbreaking, but think about it: When was the last time you thought to frame your houseplants and turn them into art? The basic border encapsulates a small potted plant, which is held up by a rounded base. The whole piece comes out from the wall slightly, so it's both visible and produces a 3D effect that is fun and engaging. Since it does stick out, keep that in mind for narrow areas or hallways as it can impede foot traffic in these spots.

What sets these frames apart is their simplistic design that also elevates the wall you hang them on. Plain in nature, the basic borders don't detract from your plants, which are the focal points of the decor. The frame is there to enhance your potted friends, creating a backdrop for them to shine through. With that in mind, you don't want to add these to an already cluttered space where they will add to chaos. You can install these where you already have art or other wall hangings — just ensure it doesn't feel too heavy or loaded.

You can add these in several different ways if you're starting with a blank wall, though. You can hang several frames all at the same level, spacing them out so the plants don't overlap too much, or you can place two or three frames on top of one another going vertically up or down the wall. These both provide a fullness without overtaking your wall and leaving some negative space will help make the finished result feel curated.

You can still upgrade the simple design if you feel so inclined. The frame comes in black, but you can spray paint it to match your aesthetic if you prefer a different color. You can also add embellishments like wood appliques from Amazon, securing them with super glue before spray painting the entire unit. Depending on how unique looking your houseplant is that you intend to frame, understated might be the way to go for more exotic, leafy, or large plants. However, if your plant is on the smaller side or doesn't have a lot of height or length, you can elevate the frame to make the whole thing feel more full.

It's important to consider the pots you choose, too, because these are also on display within your new frames. Colorful, artistic pots will help bring your living works of art a more chic finish and give you an opportunity to show these off, too. You can even buy standard vessels and paint them with your own designs as a way to double up on your decorations! While it doesn't matter where or how you house your leafy friends, these frames certainly offer a clever, fashionable alternative to the plant displays you've seen before.
