This window decoration method is original solution in the case when you have windows that cannot be opened in principle due to the specific design of the frame. However, such windows can only partially open. You can “beat” such windows with the help of shelves, which you can decorate to your taste - indoor plants, dishes or compositions from small decor.
In addition to the decorative effect, such a solution can have a rather practical meaning: to hide an unsightly view from the window or “mask” the room from prying eyes if you live on the ground floor.
If there are a lot of indoor flowers in your house, such a window can be turned into a real winter garden, where the plants will be very comfortable.
If such windows are available in the kitchen or dining room, you can hang shelves for dishes on them. Especially impressive - with vintage items or if you like to admire smooth white porcelain.
However, do not forget: if such a window is the only one in this room, do not overload the shelves with contents so that natural light enters in sufficient quantities.

glass shelves for plants on the window:
The lightest (due to the transparency of the glass) and for this reason the most popular solution. Such shelves for indoor plants can be fixed in the window opening using ordinary "toucans" (shelf holders for glass) or - on remote brackets that are suitable for glass shelves.
The best option for safety is a collection of small plants. If the blind window has a width of more than 60-70 cm, it is preferable to choose a different material for the shelves, also for safety reasons.

chipboard and wooden shelves:
Any brackets are suitable here, and there are much more ways to place them: in the opening, to the walls around the window, to the ends wall cabinets(if we are talking about the kitchen) or even to the window frame if it is wooden. The weight of the pots and the width of the window no longer matter as much as in the case of glass shelves.

other creative ideas for window shelves:
The winter garden will be more impressive if you use the windowsill. On the "remote" window design, you can create a semblance of a greenhouse. If there are enough other windows in the room, the winter garden can be arranged on the widest of them. To prevent the pots from falling due to the curiosity of the cat, stretch a rope or fishing line along the shelf.
If you prefer blinds, they can be attached to the slope, and the shelves can be “attached” to the wall. If you want curtains by all means, attach a cornice to the underside of the shelf. Two adjacent blind windows can be decorated with a single composition of shelves.
If you are looking for super-original solutions - pay attention to the last 2 photos in this section: from hinged kitchen cabinets rear walls removed. and then the cabinets are hung above the window. As a result, an interesting “effect of an aquarium” is born: you can see not only the dishes on the glass shelves, but also the landscape outside the window, while all this is perfectly protected from dust. And if you add the internal lighting of the cabinet, the spectacle will be incredible!

What lovers of indoor flowers will not come up with in order to place their favorites more comfortably at home - capricious violets, sprawling monsters and variegated dieffenbachia. After all, if there are a lot of flowers, then placing them so that they do not close the light to each other is sometimes problematic. Before you make a flower rack, decide on the place where it will be placed: against the wall, in the corner or on the windowsill itself.
Shelving for indoor flowers
The flower rack can be wooden, metal, plastic, plasterboard. The glass flower rack looks very good. But in this case, you need to take into account the thickness of the glass and whether you can cut the glass yourself or it is better to contact a glass workshop. Often they use everything that is at hand, combining different types materials. It all depends on what tools the master owns and what materials the hostess of the flower kingdom has chosen.
Rack for plywood flowers in 6 hours
Let's say you have a sheet of plywood on hand. A fairly durable and not too expensive material that can turn into an elegant flower shelf in just a few hours if you have a jigsaw and you can use it to cut smooth lines on wood.
What do you need? Materials: plywood - 1 sheet, nickel-plated pipe - 2 pieces, shelf fasteners - 2 for each shelf, varnish or paint, fixing tool. Tools: jigsaw, drill, sandpaper, tape measure.
Manufacturing technology:
1. We think over the dimensions of the shelves: we measure the place for which it is intended.
2. According to the measurements, we draw future shelves on a sheet of plywood. At the same time, their configuration can be either the simplest (rectangular shelves with rounded corners), or with all kinds of waves, the number and depth of which depend on you.
3. After marking, the shelves are cut out of plywood.
4. Fold the blanks on top of each other and mark the distance where the hole for the pipe will be located. It is important that this point exactly matches on all workpieces.
5. In two places on each workpiece, a hole is made for a nickel-plated pipe.
6. Workpieces are sanded with sandpaper (especially the ends).
7. We cover the shelves with furniture varnish, preferably several times.
8. We pass a nickel-plated pipe through the holes, fixing it near each shelf. It is important to ensure that the shelves are placed parallel to each other and perpendicular to the tubes.
9. The next step is wall mounting. These can be special brackets that are attached to the back of the top and bottom shelves and to the wall. Here it is important to correctly mark the wall and use a drill to drill holes into which the self-tapping screws will be screwed. It depends on the size and strength of the fastening tool whether the shelf will fall under the weight of the flower pots.
Do-it-yourself wooden flower rack in 3 hours
Dimensions of the proposed rack: 23 cm wide, 60 cm long and 70 cm high. There are 3 shelves in total.
Materials: planks of wood (dimensions 3.5x0.5 cm, length - 2m) - 6 pieces, planks, dimensions of which are 2x2 cm, length - 2m - 2 pieces, nails (size 25 and 40).
Tools: tape measure, regular hammer, wood saw.
Thin slats will be used to make the shelves themselves, and 2x2 slats will be used to make racks for the shelf.
Manufacturing technology:
1. We mark thin planks into pieces 60 cm long, after which we cut them. We get 18 bars.
2. We mark the planks 2x2 cm by 70 cm and saw them. We get 4 racks.
3. From the remains of the planks 2x2 cm, we cut out 2 bars of 23 cm each.
4. We take 2 racks, lay them parallel to each other on the floor and mark the places for the future fastening of the shelves. They must be accurately measured. The distance between the shelves depends on the height of the flowers you plan to place on the inner shelves.
6. Help is needed to assemble the entire structure. One holds racks with shelves, the other fixes the structure with nails (40th size).
7. The finished product is varnished or painted.
Rack-shelf for flowers made of metal and wooden slats
Such a shelf will serve as a solid wall structure. After all, its racks are welded from metal.
To do this, take metal rods with a diameter of 7-10 mm or a corner (if the rack will stand on the floor) and weld a similar design, the dimensions of which depend on the wishes and the availability of space for the shelf. If the side bases are 90x20 cm, then this will allow you to place 4 shelves at a distance of 30 cm from each other. This is very convenient for placing undersized flowers, as well as ampelous ones. Tall flowers can be placed on the top shelf.
In the process of welding, fastenings are provided on the upper inner edge of the structure, and crossbars for placing shelves. There will be 4 in total. Then, when the structure is ready, it can be painted.
In parallel, planks 0.50-0.60 cm long are cut out of bars 2.5x1.5 cm. You will need 20 planks. Then they are laid out parallel to each other face down and knocked down with the same planks, but short - 20 cm each.
The next step is to place the metal structure on the wall. To do this, use a molly if the wall is made of drywall, and ordinary self-tapping screws for other types of walls. It is important to correctly measure the attachment points of the bases for the shelves. They must be in a parallel plane. Otherwise, the shelves will not lie flat on the crossbars. So, the distance between fasteners is 50-55 cm. metal supports laying shelves. The entire wooden-metal structure can be coated with paint, or wooden shelves can be varnished, and metal shelves can be painted to match the rest of the room.
Shelf for flowers from the windowsill
To do this, you will need a plastic window sill 3.90 m long, nickel-plated pipes (3 pcs.), Fixings (flange) - 3 for each shelf, brackets - 2 pcs.
Manufacturing technology:
1. An ordinary window sill is sawn into pieces of 1.3 m.
2. In the resulting blanks, 3 holes are made at the same distance: 2 along the edges of the rear wall and 1 - in the center at the front.
3. Pipes are cut to the required height. with the help of flanges and screws fasten the entire structure.
4. The lower edge of the pipes is fixed to the floor using the same flanges in 3 places. Brackets are put on the upper edge of two pipes placed near the wall and also fastened to the wall with the help of screws.
Corner rack for flowers
This design is most simply made of chipboard and the same nickel-plated pipes. It will take only 3 pipes of the length you need, several identical shelves cut with a jigsaw according to the pattern (triangular shape) and the number of flanges and screws corresponding to the number of shelves. Everything is assembled according to the technologies mentioned above. Measure seven times - cut one. At the top, the shelf is attached to the walls with brackets. For fixing, it is enough to place the brackets on the two outer corners.
Glass rack for flowers
Such a device is convenient in that if you place a backlight on top, then the light will penetrate all the shelves. You can make such a glass shelf using two wooden slats and 6 glasses. Of course, the material of the shelves - strained glass not less than 5 mm thick. Vertical slats can be made of wood. The size of the groove, which is made for fastening the glasses, and, accordingly, the strength of their fastening depends on their thickness. For shelves about 20 cm thick, the grooves should be about 10 cm. This means that the thickness of the rails should not be less than 20 cm. There may be other proportions, but they are more suitable for placing souvenirs and various small things on such shelves. Flowerpots weigh a lot, and if there are several of them, then pressure is created on the entire structure. In the design described above, one of the shelves below can be replaced with a wooden one.
Plasterboard shelves for flowers
Many shelving and shelving options are available in drywall. It can be either niches in the wall or ordinary shelves. In both the first and second cases, a frame is built, which is sheathed with drywall. From a decorative point of view, such a design wins a lot, but from a practical point of view - no. Flowers are water and it is impossible to guarantee 100% that moisture will not get on the material that deteriorates from it. Therefore, one of the options is to attach glass shelves to the plasterboard frame. This design will look very advantageous with backlighting.
As you can see, there are a lot of options for flower racks. Photos clearly demonstrate that there is no limit to human imagination. Whatever material falls into the hands of the master, it can make durable and beautiful flower racks.
Shelf designs can be single or two or three tiered: it all depends on the number of flower pots.
By appointment, the shelves are divided into:
- window sills;
- straight and angled for floor installation;
- straight and at an angle, hanging on the walls;
- for balconies and loggias.
DIY flower shelves make it possible to place them in a convenient and free place.
In addition to the walls and floor in the room, they can be hung on the window, placed on the balcony, determined in the yard.
Design features
Simple to manufacture, with bizarre shapes, the most popular are hanging flower shelves made by hand. In the hanging version, you can invent any design and model you like.

- compound method.
Advantages of making shelves with your own hands
The main advantage is that by making a shelf yourself, its cost will be much less than buying in a store.
The choice of shelves in stores is very poor, and they do not shine with quality.
Basically, all the shelves are of the same type, which can be found in almost every apartment. It may also happen that the shelves will not be in harmony with the interior. It may not fit into the parameters of the apartment.
When making shelves for flowers, there is a possibility of independent choice:
- material;
- size;
- colors and shades;

Step by step production
The first thing to do is to draw a sketch of the future shelf, buy raw materials and prepare the tool.
Parts manufacturing
The length of the shelves must be prepared, taking into account the free opening where the rack will stand. The width depends on the size of the pots. The height depends on the taste of the owner.
Hole preparation
In each shelf, we drill a hole along the edges with a drill with a thick drill. The holes must be parallel to each other. The hole should be of such a diameter that a thick rope can freely enter it.
We stretch the rope
We stretch the rope through all the holes and knit a strong reliable knot under the product. At the top of the rope we make a loop so that in the future it can be hung.
Assembly of the structure
After completing the main steps, you can begin to install the shelf.
On the wall, carefully with a pencil, mark the marks for the holes. We drill them and mount the fasteners.
Securely fasten the shelf to the fasteners. We put out vases with flowers.
Corner bookcase
To save space in the apartment, you can make a corner bookcase from lumber. On such a shelf you can contain any plants. The procedure for preparing parts is identical to a conventional shelf. The only difference is that the ends of the shelves are cut at an angle.
Assembly steps include:
- we coat the details of the upper section with carpentry glue, connect them together at an angle of 90 degrees;
- we also assemble the middle and lower sections;
- after the adhesive layer has completely solidified, we coat the blanks with a primer;
- drill holes for fasteners;
- we mount fasteners;
- install the shelf and fix it.
The nuances of making shelves

Many make complex products when the shelves are attached according to a specific pattern.
It is necessary to choose the material with special attention:
- take into account the climatic conditions where the rack will stand;
- weight of pots with vegetation;
- moisture content in the air.

You can create a sliding or moving structure, which can be moved to the right place at any time.
Wood crafts are very popular.
To make a stand, it is not necessary to buy something in the store. You can build a stand from an old locker in the garage or an unnecessary ladder.
Necessary materials
To make a classic shelf you will need:
- board made of wood, chipboard, mdf, plastic or metal;
- plywood;
- screws;
- plugs;
- additional tools;
- decoration paint;
- varnish (when working with boards).
Combined sections include several components.
And also additional tools for decorating the structure can be used. If the furniture is outdoor, you may need legs or wheels to fix the cabinet on the floor.
Required Tools
To assemble the configuration, you will need the following tools:
- screwdriver;
- building level;
- electric drill;
- saw;

Manufacturing process: step by step instructions
Before starting to design a wooden craft, you need to make sure that the drawings are correct and the parts fit together. This is very important if you plan to make a cabinet with doors or a back wall.
After the materials are selected and verified, you can proceed to the main work.
To make furniture, you will need a little patience, raw materials, from which crafts and tools will be made.
Step-by-step instruction
- Material preparation.
The length of the boards must be selected based on the space where the rack will be located. The width of the craft should be rather big. A pot of medium or large sizes should be freely placed on it. To make the same distance between the shelves, you can put extra bars in the middle.
- We drill holes.
To make crafts, you need a regular drill with a large drill. In each shelf you need to make two holes. They must be parallel to each other. In general, it turns out, two holes for each fragment. A thick rope should freely enter the hole. If the holes are smaller, then there is a chance that the shelf will be fragile.
Making crafts with your own hands, you have the opportunity to independently choose the size, shade, design and location of the structure.
- Threading the rope
Almost everything is ready for the construction of the stand. It remains only to pass a thick rope through the holes and hang a shelf for flowers. After the rope is inserted through all the holes, we tie a strong knot from the bottom of the product. From the top of the rope we make a loop so that you can hang a shelf.
Installing the structure.
After all the main work is done, you can proceed to the installation of the finished product. Since almost all the walls in houses are made of brick or concrete, we need an electric drill to work.
To make a stand, it is not necessary to buy something in the store.
We make markings on the wall where it will be located. We drill holes for fasteners and install it. We firmly fix the product on the fasteners. Now you can put pots with plants on it.
Do-it-yourself corner wooden rack
To save space in the room, you can make a corner rack for violets and lilies. The stages of material preparation are almost the same as in the design of a conventional wall cabinet. But there is one caveat. The ends of the upper and lower parts must be cut at an angle.
If the furniture is outdoor, you may need legs or wheels to fix the cabinet on the floor.
Step-by-step instruction
All elements of the upper part must be smeared with glue and connected (the angle should be 90 degrees). We do the same with the lower parts of the structure. After the glue has dried, we treat the wood with a primer mixture. We make two holes for fasteners. We make holes in the wall and install fasteners. We fix the finished product in the right place.
It is worth remembering that there are flower shelves: single, double and multi-seat.
At first glance, making a regular rack is not so difficult. But these are simple stand designs. There are more complex configurations where the shelves must be fixed according to a certain pattern. Great care must be taken in the choice of material. It is necessary to take into account the climate where the rack will be located, the weight of the items and the humidity of the environment. To understand what is best to build a shelf, you first need to decide on the construction skill. Depending on how well you get along with the tools and know how to do certain things, the quality of the work depends.
The final stage - decoration
When creating a rack, you can come up with own design products. By choosing the right materials and spending a little time, you get a unique masterpiece!
The choice of fasteners will depend on the raw material of the future configuration.
For example, a plastic product comes in a different palette. For originality of design, decorative handrails can be attached to it.
To decide what you need, you need to know a few nuances.
The wooden shelf is varnished with sparkles. This gives shine and shine to the product.
