Welcome your guests to your cozy home with a touch of nature by using these beautiful plants over-the-door ideas!
Plant decor often involves placing plants on the ground, shelves, plant stands, or hanging baskets. Why not think outside the box and elevate it by placing plants above your doors? It will also create more space for growing plants!
This pictorial guide has some practical ideas that can inspire you for Plants Over The Door Ideas.
Plants Over The Door Ideas
1. Spilling Beauties in a Black and White Room
Using overgrown brightly colored plants, you can make a bland room more inviting. Try using trailing succulents or lush foliage plants to create contrast and visual interest.
2. Hanging Botanical Decor
Many people use artificial hanging decor to beautify their homes, which is a lazy approach. Why not use the cascading vines of trailing plants like pothos or prayer plant, which are easy to care for?
3. Over the Door Ledge
You can install a ledge over your door in the same color as the wall and use it for growing low-maintenance plants. The same color blend will ensure the ledge does not spoil the room’s aesthetics.
4. Cascading Foliage Curtain
Add a layer of privacy by growing multiple hanging vines in close proximity. This can be compared to a unique and natural curtain while adding to the home decor, we have more plant curtain ideas to inspire.
5. Over the Door Container Garden
You can use the space above a door or entrance to grow multiple plants in small pots. This is the perfect idea if you are short of space.
6. Plants with Decorative Items
Pairing plants with decorative items can enhance the charm of a room. This approach reflects the harmony between man-made decor and the natural beauty of plants.
7. Modern Wall Garden
If you have a modern home, you can utilize contemporary wall shelves to display your plant collection over doors. The addition of a mirror to the wall makes it look even sharper.
8. Wooden Ledge and Clay Pots
Use natural items such as wooden planks (as a platform) and clay pots to create a natural look along with plants.
9. Over the Door Window Sill
If your home has a high-rise window sill above your entrance door, you can utilize the little space to grow plants. Pick up your favorite plants, which can be trailing ones, erect and bushier like spider plants or small succulents.
10. Cupboard of Plants
Unused cupboards or shelves can be utilized to grow plants. It can be a beautiful wall garden with a special section for each plant variety.
11. Over the Door to Wall Art
A white indoor space will look beautiful, with potted plants arranged over a shelf at the room’s entrance. You can train a pothos vine using clips to achieve your desired shape and form.
12. Balcony Door Decor
Balcony doors are like giant windows, and growing plants on top of them will be the best idea to enhance the decor. This is a good placement to get the perfect light for your sun-loving plants.
13. Succulent Space
Take inspiration from the image above and add tiny succulents and cacti in small containers for a beautiful view. You can also set a few plants at the bottom of the door for that added charm.
14. Large Single Window Box
Some plants need a lot of space, like those with runners or the ones that spread a lot, like an English Ivy or Pothos. So get a large planter and set it above the door shelf and enjoy its view.
15. Book Shelf + Garden
This one is for all the book and plant enthusiasts! You can have the best of both worlds by storing books in the center and plants at each end of your collection!
16. Bohemian Style Planting
Create a walled garden by putting potted plants on different shelves at the entrance. This idea will make your entrance look like a beautiful indoor jungle.
17. Vintage Style Plant Decor
You can recreate this idea in one of your favorite rooms of the house. Again, all you have to do is use the shelves cleverly and plants that grow wild; our favorites are, again, Pothos and Philodendrons.
18. Zen Room Door with Plants
A Zen room decorated with greenery, especially at the entrance, can calm you down. Make the entrance to your reading room or library beautiful by placing vining plants above the door.
19. Display Them in Open Cabinets
If you have an overload of decor pieces, artwork, and plants, combine them all together on open cabinets and over-the-door ledge to display them.
20. The Most Simple Entrance
Sometimes, less is more! You can make your entrance a bit more exciting without overdoing it by simply adding a single or a few plants above the door.
