Fortunately, there are many unique ways to display succulents. From altering your furniture in a show-stopping way to turning household objects into something unique and beautiful, there's a simple yet creative option for everyone.

What better way to enjoy your coffee than next to an array of succulents? This unique display combines the beauty of a terrarium with the functionality of a coffee table. With a glass top, the second shelf of this table is decorated with an abundance of succulent varieties.

You can either plant all the succulents together in a large pot that covers the lower surface of the table or place individual containers close together for the same effect.

You may have heard that she sells seashells down by the seashore, but did you know you can make your own succulent seashell? For this option, choose a large sea shell that can accommodate as many succulents as you'd like.

Then, place the small pots with drainage inside the shell and top them with a layer of stones or gravel to blend them all together. Put the shell in a bathroom or windowsill for a nautical touch to any space!

Living Artwork

If your walls are looking empty, but you can't settle on a piece of art, consider creating living artwork with some succulents, a hardware grid, soil, and a frame! The frame should be a shadow box to ensure there is ample room for the plants to grow and establish roots.

Place your hardware wire grid in the frame, add well-draining soil, and place cuttings of succulents or root systems of succulents in the soil. With that all done, you can hang your new artwork! Remember to water once a month or spray every so often with a mister.

Succulents Light the Way

If you've got a few empty lanterns lying around, it's time for an upcycling project. You can make this one simply by placing a succulent or two inside the lantern or zhoosh it up a bit! Try repainting the lantern with chalk paint for a more chic and personalized look, or add fairy lights to create dainty and sweet lighting for your patio or backyard.

Then, top with gravel or decorative stones for a more cohesive look.

If you're a fan of container gardening, put a little spin on things by stacking your pots!

The best part is that you can choose any pot you want, keeping things similar and seamless or putting a few different pots together!

Sometimes a new shelf is all you need to display your plants. While it seems simple, the way you layer and decorate with your plants makes this unique. Remember to place taller plants next to shorter plants to create dimension. The same goes for larger pots and smaller-sized ones. Hanging and climbing succulents will make plenty of contrast for an appealing look.

You can either attach a shelf to your wall or use a classic bookcase or shelving unit. Use different color pots and textures to add a personal touch to the whole thing!
