Put your love for your décor on a pedestal—literally! An indoor pedestal can be used to display plants, statues, collections, and more—all over your home. Here, we discuss the benefits of adding pedestals to your interior decorating arsenal, as well as share a few ideas that showcase their versatility.
Benefits of Designing with Indoor Pedestals
Equally at home in a narrow hallway, corner nook, or expansive living room, indoor pedestals are practical as well as pretty. Here are a few benefits that they lend to decorating.
Add visual interest
Firstly, the primary goal of an indoor pedestal is to showcase what’s on top of it, giving smaller items the needed height to be seen. But the pedestal also adds height among other furniture in a room. For example, in a living room where furniture is typically the same height, placing a pedestal in a corner will add height and visual interest to the entire room.
Create depth
Subsequently, the pedestal itself can be used as a focal point and should be placed strategically to delineate clear zones in a room.
Minimize the appearance of clutter
It’s hard to see everything when items are just tossed haphazardly on a surface. A riser or pedestal elevates individual items in a collection making them stand out while allowing you to see parts of a collection that are not on the riser.
Versatile
Indoor pedestals are available in varying heights, materials, and styles. You are sure to find an indoor pedestal that works with your home décor.
Indoor Pedestal Use Cases
For inspiration, 9 décor pieces can be placed on indoor pedestals.
Elevated Plant Stand
A pedestal plant stand indoors gives your greenery the attention it deserves. Placed in a light-filled corner of a room, elevating plants to eye level not only draws attention upward but it’s a beautiful way to decorate with houseplants. Mirrored risers can assist in varying the heights of houseplants on a shelf or window for an impressive display that shows off your green thumb.
Statuesque Showcase
Indoor column pedestals for statues or sculptures create a museum-worthy display in any home. Try a traditional-style column or add a bit of whimsy by opting for a pedestal in a bright pop of color to contrast the artwork on top.
Indoor Pedestal Mood lighting
Looking to add ambiance at home for a special occasion? Arrange candlesticks of varying heights on a mirrored pedestal for an instant glow. The pedestal’s mirrored surface will reflect the light from the candles and multiply their radiance.
Flower Power
Use an indoor column pedestal in a foyer to hold a vessel of fresh flowers. Go big with lush blooms or dramatic with exotic flowers, such as an orchid or bird of paradise.
Pottery Placement
Whether the piece is vintage or hand-thrown and handmade, if it makes you happy, it deserves to be in the spotlight. Positioned on a pedestal, pottery will be the center of attention the minute you walk into the room.
Indoor Pedestal Book Display
Stacked or bookended on an indoor column pedestal, a small collection of books will lend a literary vibe to a home library or reading nook.
Smart Side Table
Placed bedside or alongside the couch, a smaller height pedestal can transform into a side table. Just add a lamp, a good read, and a glass of water (or wine).
Indoor Pedestal Elegant Catch-all
Placed by the entryway in your home, an indoor pedestal can conveniently hold items, such as keys, small handbags, water bottles, or whatever else you need to put down when you first walk in the door.
Vanity Tray
Transform a riser into a toiletry tray that holds your daily essentials. Hand soap, moisturizer, and body mist will be organized and within easy reach. Plus, this cute display will make a bathroom vanity less cluttered.
