It is increasingly fashionable to have indoor wall gardens. SHowever, a priori it may seem complex to you, or you may think that you have to do a lot of things to enjoy it. But that’s really not the case.
For this reason, below we are going to give you several ideas for indoor wall gardens that you can apply in your home, whether in the kitchen, living room, bedroom or even in the bathroom. Want to know how?
Shelves as gardens
One of the first options is also one of the easiest to create. And also with things that you can have at home, or that you can get cheaply. It’s about transforming a shelf into a vertical garden.
And how would that be? Well, to start, you have to choose the shelf, if it will be hung, if it goes from floor to ceiling… Once you have it, the next thing is the pots or planters. In fact, we recommend the latter option, and if possible the same size as the shelf. This way you can put a planter on each shelf.
All you have to do is collect the plants. And here, to keep it from looking like a shelf, we suggest opting for hanging plants or the like so that when they grow, they hide the structure.
As advice, could you put the planters tilted forward, to make it more beautiful. This is easily achieved by placing a small step at the back of the shelf which allows it to be tilted without the risk of it falling.
Recycling windows or stairs
If you have window doors, a wooden staircase or something similar, you can use it to create indoor wall gardens at home. You will need to paint it first so that it matches the decor of your home, or at least the room where you are going to put it.
Then choose the pots that will be part of your vertical garden. If it is a ladder you can benefit from the steps to place them. If it is a door or a patio door, you will need to hang them with hooks or the like.

In the market, you can find one of the most economical ideas for indoor wall gardens and at the same time quick to install. They are vertical fabric gardens, as if they were a big bag full of pockets so that in each of them you can plant a plant.
You shouldn’t worry about watering, because the fabric is prepared to resist humidity and not fall on the ground. But it can be very useful, for example, with plants that grow little, such as medicinal plants or those that you can have in the kitchen and use when preparing a dish.
built-in vertical garden
Another of the indoor wall garden ideas that will be very curious is to choose square flower pots of different sizes. Take the larger ones and place them at the base of the floor (or wherever you want to put them on the wall), in a line. Glue them down if they are to be hung in the air. Then put other medium pots, but centered so that, by going up and putting smaller pots, you make the silhouette of a triangle. In fact, it can be a triangle, a square, a rectangle… Anything you can think of.
You will have part of the wall converted into a garden with various plants.
Of course, if you are concerned about watering, you can always choose that these pots are not the last for the plants, but have their plastic pot. It helps you water when you get them out of there, but also, when you’re tired of seeing the same plants in the same order, we can change them or it is easier to transplant them if they grow a lot or if we die.
garden structures
We continue with the wall garden ideas for interiors and, in case you have to do some work, one option you can consider is to create garden structures. That’s to say, allocate one of the walls as a garden and adapt it as such, with soil and plants, as well as a layer of grass (natural or artificial) that helps maintain soil moisture for plant survival.
It is one of the most complex and expensive, but it can be very attractive, although it also requires more maintenance.
garden pictures
As you know, paintings usually have a certain volume, although they look less and less like that. But if you can get a wide frame, you can adapt it to put a layer of soil in it. In order to make it thicker, you can put a glass in front of the frame and a wooden board behind it, so that it doesn’t come out. This will allow you to fill it with more soil.
Now you only have to plant the plants (they are best combined, for example, a few succulents and a hanging plant) and finally hang the “living” picture.
with trellis
Lattices, whether iron, wood, etc. they can decorate a room by itself. But if you also include a plant or two, and see how, over time, it climbs up the trellis, it will please your eyes. Actually, After a few months or years you will have a complete vertical garden that covers the entire wall.
With jars or bottles
If you like to recycle, and you can also give it a personalized touch and in keeping with the decoration you have in the room, you can create wall gardens with jars or bottles, hanging them on a hook or directly on the wall.
vertical water gardens
Finally, why not create indoor wall gardens that are out of the ordinary? As you know, some plants are aquatic, that is, made up of water. Well, you can hang an aquarium or similar aquatic plants on it.
However, this idea is also good for taking cuttings from plants that you root in water. In this way, they will be ordered but they will also give you a very original interior garden.
As you can see, there are many indoor wall garden ideas. Whether it’s recycling, giving others a second chance, or buying structures, it will brighten up and bring more life to that room. Do you dare to have one?
