Bringing plants inside is such an easy way to make a room feel fresh and lively. Creating a plant wall? Now that’s a fun and creative way to show off greenery without crowding your floors.
I love how a plant wall instantly draws your eye and perks up even the tiniest corners.
The coolest thing about indoor plant walls is you get to enjoy a splash of nature inside, no matter how much space you have.
Whether you lean modern or love a wild, natural look, there are plenty of easy ways to try this out. Here are 20 ideas to help you build your own living wall and breathe new life into your home.
1. Easy Hanging Plants Wall
When I first started, I went with hanging plants. They’re super simple and don’t hog any space.
I just use hooks or rods to hang little pots or glass terrariums. Air plants and tiny ferns are perfect for this.
- Beginner-friendly
- Adds green without heavy structure
- Easy to rearrange
Sometimes I hang them in neat rows, just to keep things tidy. It gives me a lush wall without a lot of effort.
2. Pallet Living Wall
Wooden pallets make such cool living walls. They let me go vertical with my plants and save all that precious floor space.
I grab a pallet, line it with landscaping fabric, and staple it down. Then I fill it with soil and tuck in my favorite plants.
Sometimes I use small pots; other times, I plant right in the pallet. It’s a little rustic and feels like a mini garden on the wall.
3. Terracotta Pot Circle Arrangement
Terracotta pots just have that warm, earthy vibe. I love arranging them in a circle—it’s soft, easy, and fills up blank wall space.
I mix trailing plants and upright succulents for a playful mix of shapes. Wall hooks or pot clippers keep them up there, and suddenly the room just feels more alive.
4. Wooden Board Mounted Planters
Mounting planters on wooden boards is so satisfying. It looks clean and natural, and I can swap out plants whenever I get bored.
Herbs, succulents, even tiny flowers all work. I just pick a board that fits my wall, space out the planters, and let the green take over.
5. Vertical Succulent Garden
Vertical succulent gardens are a lifesaver when I’m low on space. I use a frame or a shallow box, fill it with soil, and pop in my favorite succulents.
They barely need water or attention, which is a win on busy days.
- Pick a sturdy frame
- Fill with soil and succulents
- Hang on a sunny wall
These gardens always look fresh, and honestly, they’re so low-maintenance it’s almost unfair.
6. Sectioned Boxed Indoor Plant Wall
Sectioned plant walls keep everything organized. Each box is its own little world, making it easy to mix and match different plants.
The pattern adds structure but doesn’t feel cramped. I like to pair leafy plants with succulents for a bit of visual interest.
7. Faux Vining Indoor Plant Decor
Faux vining plants are my go-to for tricky spots. No watering, no stress, just instant green.
I drape them over shelves or let them trail down the wall. Sometimes I use clips to guide the vines into cool patterns—super easy to change up whenever I want.
8. Boho Hanging Garden
There’s something about a boho hanging garden that just feels right. I use macramé hangers and woven baskets to add a cozy, textured vibe.
Ferns and trailing vines fit the look perfectly. Hanging them at different heights creates a relaxed, layered effect that’s never boring.
Even a simple rope hanger does the trick. For me, it’s an affordable way to fill my wall with character and green life.
9. Living Wall with Artificial Foliage
Artificial foliage walls are a total game-changer for anyone who forgets to water plants (guilty!). They look surprisingly real and don’t need a single drop of care.
I use wooden frames or grids to mount the plants. It’s perfect for rooms that never get enough sun—no more sad, droopy leaves.
When I pick realistic faux plants, the wall looks lush all year. No pests, no wilt, just green goodness on demand.
10. Floating Basket Plant Display
Floating baskets are just fun. They add a natural, homey feel and hold all sorts of plant sizes.
- Saves floor space
- Brings warmth with woven textures
- Fits all kinds of plants
I love hanging them above the sofa—suddenly, that corner feels alive without any clutter.
11. DIY Vertical Herb Garden
Having fresh herbs right in the kitchen is a game-changer. I built a vertical herb garden on my wall, and now I always have basil or mint on hand.
Wooden boards, small pots, even old ammo cans—they all work. Hanging shelves with terra-cotta pots are another easy option.
The best part? I can grab what I need while cooking, and my countertops stay clear.
12. Modern Minimalist Plant Wall
Modern minimalist plant walls just feel so peaceful. Clean lines, simple shapes, and nothing too fussy.
I stick with neutral pots terracotta or white and arrange the plants in rows or gentle curves. Succulents and ferns are my go-tos since they stay neat and don’t need much fussing.
13. Succulent Wall in Glass Containers
Glass containers make succulent walls look extra fresh and modern. I love seeing the roots and soil—it feels like a tiny science experiment on my wall.
Hanging glass containers fit small succulents or air plants, and arranging them vertically makes a cool pattern. Plus, they let in plenty of light, so the plants stay happy.
14. Moss Art Wall
Moss art walls are such a chill way to add green. Preserved moss doesn’t need water or sun, so it’s basically maintenance-free.
Panels or framed moss pieces are easy to hang and swap out. I love the texture and calm vibe moss brings—it’s always green and never asks for anything in return.
15. Hanging Macrame Plant Holders
I love using macrame plant holders. They add a comfy, earthy vibe to my walls.
They’re perfect for small spaces since they hang and don’t hog any floor or shelf space. Honestly, that’s a game-changer for cramped apartments.
Spider plants and trailing vines look especially good in them. I hang mine from ceiling hooks or sturdy wall hooks, always making sure to hit a stud for safety, because nobody wants a plant crash.
Macrame holders come in all sorts of styles. Some keep it simple with basic knots, while others go wild with fringe or open patterns.
Whatever the style, they make any plant look a bit more put-together. It’s like a little outfit for your greenery, really.
16. Upcycled Ladder Plant Shelf
Grabbing an old ladder and turning it into a plant shelf? That’s a rustic touch I can’t resist. It’s super easy to set up and you get several levels for your pots.
Wood or metal ladders both work. Personally, I lean toward wood for that cozy look, but hey, you do you.
This idea saves space and lets your plants catch some sunlight. Plus, it’s just satisfying to give new life to something old instead of tossing it.
17. Wall-Mounted Pot Clippers Set
Wall-mounted pot clippers? Total space-saver, and they look sharp. Just clip small pots onto the wall and you’ve got an instant plant gallery.
Most sets have adjustable clips, so you can fit different pot sizes. Terracotta and ceramic pots work especially well here.
Hanging plants this way brings greenery into the tightest corners. I love being able to switch up the arrangement whenever the mood strikes, no fuss, no mess.
18. Indoor Flowering Plant Wall
Adding a flowering plant wall instantly perks up any room. The colors just make the whole space feel more alive, who doesn’t want that?
African violets, orchids, and begonias are some of my favorites. They don’t take up much room, and their blooms are pretty hard to beat.
I like using small pots attached to a wooden board or a metal grid. It keeps everything tidy and makes watering a breeze.
“Flowering walls bring nature right into your home, making it both fresh and colorful.”
19. Mix of Leafy and Flowering Plants
I love mixing leafy greens with flowering plants on my indoor wall. The combo brings in all sorts of shapes and colors, so it never gets boring.
Leafy plants give you texture with their big or tiny leaves. Flowering plants toss in those pops of color that lift the whole mood.
I’ll put ferns or pothos next to small bloomers like African violets. That balance keeps the wall looking fresh and lively, no matter the season.
20. Spiral Wall Planter Design
I really like the spiral wall planter. It uses space in such a fun and unexpected way.
The plants grow along a twisting pattern. It just looks cool, almost like nature decided to doodle on your wall.
This design works well with small plants like succulents or herbs. Watering is surprisingly easy since you can reach each level without stretching or balancing on tiptoes.
You can DIY this with a metal frame if you’re feeling crafty. Or just buy one and save yourself the headache, no shame in that.
It adds a unique touch to any room and barely takes up space. Who knew a planter could double as wall art?
