Plant Stands For Your Minimalist Bedroom

Plants are a wonderful addition to any home, and with the right furniture, they can truly shine. That's why we have put together a guide to creating your own Mid Century Plant Stand. It is a simple project that can add a lot of character to your home, and we're here to show you how to do it!

How to make a Mid Century Plant Stand

Before getting started, you will need some tools and materials. Here is what you will need:

1 x 6-foot, 6-inch untreated piece of 1x2 lumber
4 x 6-foot, 6-inch untreated pieces of 1x3 lumber
saw
drill
2 1/2 inch deck screws
sandpaper or a sander (optional)
paint or stain (optional)

Once you have gathered your materials, it's time to begin making your plant stand. Follow these steps:

Step 1: Cut your lumber

Using your saw, cut your 1x2 lumber into four pieces, each measuring 6 inches in length. Then, cut your 1x3 lumber into eight pieces, each measuring 15 inches in length.

Step 2: Drill pilot holes

Take your four 1x2 pieces and mark the center of each. Then, using your drill, make a pilot hole in each one. These will be used later when you attach the legs to the top.

Step 3: Attach the sides

Take two of your 1x3 pieces and attach them to one of the 1x2 pieces you have just prepared. To do this, align them as shown in the diagram and drill screws into the pilot holes you made in step 2. Repeat this process to make the other side.

Step 4: Attach the legs

Place one of the sides you have just constructed on the ground, and attach two of the 1x3 legs to it, using screws. Make sure they are at right angles to the side. Then, repeat this process for the other side.

Step 5: Sand and finish

Sand your newly constructed plant stand to remove any rough edges or splinters, and finish it with paint or stain if desired. This will protect the wood and help it to last longer.

Tips & Tricks

Here are a few tips to keep in mind when making your Mid Century Plant Stand:

Make sure to use untreated lumber, as treated lumber can contain chemicals that are toxic to plants.
Measure carefully and check your angles regularly to ensure a sturdy and level plant stand.
If you want to add more personality to your plant stand, consider adding unique paint or stain patterns or accents.
Be sure to choose a pot that fits snugly into the stand, but also allows room for drainage.

Congratulations! You have now successfully made your very own Mid Century Plant Stand. With this piece of furniture, you can show off your plants in style and add a touch of personality to your home.

Remember to maintain your plants regularly with sunlight, water, and nutrients, and enjoy the warmth and joy they bring to your home.
