Plant stools or stands elevate plants from the floor and provide them with additional light and air circulation — but they can also elevate your home decor, bringing a new design element to any room.

Because plant stands can help bring plants up to eye level, your plants will become more of a feature and focus in your space. The plants themselves can benefit, too: Stands make it easy to move them around the house as needed to get plants closer to windows or other sources of natural light, or give them some fresh air.

Placing plants on stands can also protect them from damage by raising them off the ground. Stands free up floor space, which is especially helpful if you don’t have a lot of room in your home. And they’re a great way to display smaller pots, as they add vertical interest to the space and draw the eye upward.

Plant stands come in various shapes, sizes and materials, making it easy to find one to fit any style or budget. But to make your search a little easier, here are five top-rated plants stands we’ve rounded up in a variety of styles.
