Bare ceilings, drab walls and boring windows are transformed into vertical gardens with hanging flowers. You can easily do the colorful floral fun at dizzy heights yourself. Be inspired by imaginative ideas and practical tips on how to hang flowers skillfully.

Not only the flowers, but also the flowerpot should be decorative

Hanging flowers from the ceiling - ideas

With flowers dangling from the ceiling, lamps have spectacular competition. In the spartan clay pot, a clever holder gives the hanging flowers a creative flair. Hanging flowers in the glass present themselves in a modern way. The following ideas may fire your imagination:

  • Make a hanging basket (€11.99) out of rope, put a flower pot in it and hang it on the ceiling hook
  • Drill a hole in each corner of a wooden board, thread in sisal ropes, knot at the bottom and hang up with the flower pot
  • Halve the coconut, fill in the substrate, plant the flower, drill holes at the edge for hanging cords
  • Glue the flowerpot in an embroidery frame with power glue, let it dry and hang it up on the thick rope
  • Plant flowers in a wide-necked mason jar, tie a sturdy rope around your neck and hook it to the ceiling

Hanging flowers on the wall - inspirations

When flowers are hung with their floral backs to the wall, a variety of design ideas bubble up. Take the following suggestions as an opportunity for your own creations with the flourishing WOW effect:

  • Sew or buy a tapestry with plant bags yourself, plant flowers and hang it on the wall
  • Wrap flower roots with moss in the shape of a ball, fix with ribbons and attach rustic ropes to the room wall
  • Fasten wooden slats to the wall, plant mason jars, empty tins or small vases with flowers and hang them on the wood with wire loops

Euro pallets (€29.99), which are converted into hanging beds and attached to the wall with nails, are popular for the rustic style of living.

Hanging flowers in the window - extra tip for orchids

If the windowsill is crowded, flowers like to rise into the air. The Vanda orchid is a prime example of a hanging window decoration with furious blooms. The orchid floats bare-rooted in the slatted basket on the fastening wire behind the glass pane. Entwined by Spanish moss (Tillandsia usneoides), the royal flower is well protected from drought stress.

tips

The flower pot and vase take a break when you hang up an amaryllis. Thanks to the thick, hollow stems, you can dangle these flowers from the ceiling without a pot or soil. Simply pull a piece of string through the flower stalk with a sewing needle, tie a knot and hang it from the ceiling. You can read detailed instructions here.
