Transform your rental space into a plant paradise with these renter-friendly tip!

Renters often feel limited in how they can personalise their living space.

Landlords and rental agreements can impose restrictions that dampen some interior design aspirations, especially when it comes to adding a touch of greenery.

Fear not—there's a stylish solution to the renter's dilemma that doesn't involve drilling holes or making permanent changes.


In a video that caught the attention of plant lovers and renters, a creative green thumb named Mariah demonstrated how she repurposed an old clothes rack into a stunning display for her plants.

‘I love using clothing racks for my hanging plants! They are wall friendly & you can move it easily to chase light,’ she wrote on the post.

With S-hooks on the rod—where coat hangers would normally go—she suspended her plants in the air, which allowed the vines and leaves to cascade beautifully.

Additionally, she cleverly used the outside frame of the clothes rack to wind the trailing vines of her pothos plants, creating an organic look.


Mariah's approach is wall-friendly and flexible, as it allows her to move the rack around easily.

The rack she used featured a bottom shelf, which is 'absolutely necessary' for maximising space and adding more potted plants to the ensemble.

If renters happen to have an old clothes rack lying around, this can be a great way to start creating green spaces in their rental places.

For those looking to replicate this plant paradise, there are several affordable options.

IKEA’s RIGGA Clothes Rack ($25) includes a bottom rack and wheels for easy mobility.

Big W offers the Openook Black Metal Garment Rack with Shelf for $29.


Kmart's Garment Rack with Three Shelves ($50) is a standout choice.

For a more aesthetically pleasing flair, another alternative can be Kmart’s Telescopic Shower Caddy ($29)—as seen on another plant enthusiast’s post.

By adopting these clever tips, renters can easily create a verdant oasis in their space without the worry of losing bonds.

It's a perfect solution for those who love to surround themselves with greenery but need to navigate the constraints of renting.
