Without a houseplant, the house seems empty and uncomfortable. However, when there are too many plants and flowers, the question inevitably arises - how to arrange them in such a way to admire the beauty, but do not overload the free space of the room? In this case, a shelf for flowers will become an indispensable assistant to all flower growers. This attribute will not only allow you to install flower pots in the most convenient way, but also decorate the interior of the house or the design of the garden plot.
In its publication "House of Dreams" offers to consider in more detail what sorts of shelves or shelves for flowers, how to choose this accessory and how to make it yourself.
Choose a bookcase for colors
The advantage of the bookcase in front of any other similar furniture is that it can be used to position flower pots on different levels, combining them so that larger flowers do not obscure the smaller ones. Since the book stands for the vertical installation of pots, this is very convenient when the house has curly plants or plants with lush foliage. Putting the largest flowers on the top shelf of the bookcase, you will show the beauty surrounding them, save the place, while leaving in the visible visibility of smaller plants.
In specialized flower shops it is possible to find bookshelves of almost any shape, size and design features, thanks to which the accessory will harmoniously fit both into the interior of the living space and into the design of the garden plot.
The quality of the book is largely dependent on the material from which it was made. The most durable and durable is the metal bookcase for flowers, but this does not mean that products made from other materials are deformed after a short period of time. Just when choosing a bookcase, consider the peculiarity of the place in which it will be located. For example, if you plan to put a bookcase on an open garden site, it is obvious that wooden products or chipboard products can quickly become unusable due to possible precipitation. While these same materials will perfectly serve you, while indoors.
Despite the fact that the shelf for flowers is an auxiliary element of furniture, and its main function is the convenient arrangement of flower pots, it can well become a worthy decoration of the interior or landscape design. For example, a forged bookcase perfectly complements the interior of the bedroom or living room and, at the same time, it will look good on the well-groomed garden plots. The wooden shelf is more suitable for decorating the garden, but it also fits perfectly into the interior, which tends to a certain style, for example, the style of Provence, the chic chic, etc.
Where to install a shelf
There are usually no significant difficulties in the location of the bookcase or flower racks in the garden area. Choosing a place for them on the street, the main thing to consider the needs of flowers and plants - they are sun-loving, or vice versa, they need a shadow. If the book is in the house, you need to think about its location so that it does not take up excess space.
For small areas, corner shelves are ideal, which, despite their high compactness, can accommodate several large pots. Also, a very good way to save usable space is to place the shelves, shelves and shelves for flowers on the wall.
Indoor plants very often "live" on windowsills, loggias and balconies. Here, you can also rationalize the existing zone with the help of shelves and shelves. For example, to order the arrangement of flowers on the windowsill will be a compact shelf with several shelves. Alternatively, instead of the whole design, you can attach several separate shelves to the window opening and install flowers on their surface. However, in this case, the flower pots will prevent the passage of daylight and, moreover, the window can not be opened.
For the arrangement of colors on the windowsill, it is also very convenient to use a multistage bookcase. Thanks to the design of this product, the flower pots will be at different levels, not overlapping the central part of the window opening.
If your flowers are on the balcony, you can arrange their arrangement with the help of compact shelving-stands. In this case, the rack can be made in the form of a stand, on which flower pots are hung, or as a separate open cabinet with shelves. Some racks and bookshelves are equipped with wheels, so they can be freely moved to different rooms.
Choosing racks for flowers for the house, note how functional their shelves are. Many products are equipped with special removable pallets, which are conveniently removed to dispose of the rest of the water.
Decorative stairs for flowers
It's not difficult to make a step for flowers with your own hands. To create it, the easiest way is to use an old staircase or stepladder. In fact, this product is already a kind of bookcase, you only need to firmly fix it on the surface, sand off splinters and chips and, if desired, paint in the right color. If the steps of the ladder are too narrow, install on them the usual wooden boards that will perform the task of the shelves.
A wooden bookcase for flowers can be made with your own hands and from other improvised tools. Firstly, its design can be made "from scratch", having the necessary number of boards, beams and fasteners.
If this task seems too complicated for you, see what convenient racks can be made from ordinary building pallets. Turning the pallets or installing them on top of each other, you will get a wonderful place to store flower pots and flowerpots.
The flower shelf not only saves space in the house, but also allows you to create a whole floral composition. In addition, this accessory is indispensable if you dream of a home greenhouse or "winter garden".
