Basically, you are satisfied with the design of your terrace. If only it weren't for this one meaningless corner. Round flower pots take up space and make it difficult to clean in the furthest corner, as they do not end directly with the wall. In this case, a round or semicircular flower staircase (€ 60.99 at Amazon *) made of wood is just the thing. While the back forms a 90 ° angle, the steps in the front area are rounded. Thus, the model adapts perfectly to the corner of the room, but offers just as much storage space at the front as the angular product.

advantages
  • Space saving
  • Fills empty corners of the room
disadvantage
  • Only suitable for room corners

With the conventional flower staircase, the steps are facing forward. If you would like even more storage space, you should better use the double-sided model. Similar to a ladder, this product has a staircase on the left and right side. Thus it is suitable both as a free-standing garden decoration, as well as an eye-catcher in front of a wall. The round flower staircase is a slight modification. Its structure resembles the shape of a fir tree, with the footprint being arranged in a circle around the center. The only disadvantage of this model is that it cannot be placed on the wall because of the round floors.

advantages
  • Can stand on the wall or free
  • Lots of floor space
  • Space saving
  • not reaching into the depths
disadvantage
  • Towering high

tip: A flower staircase does not necessarily have to go deep. If there is only little space available, you can easily modify the structure by not aligning the steps towards the front but increasing the height from left to right (or vice versa). To do this, simply place wooden boxes of different sizes next to each other.

Further purchase criteria

After you have decided on one of the models presented, you should go into detail when making a purchase decision. So that you are ultimately satisfied with your purchase, you have to consider many other aspects.

Of course, the choice of product type makes a lot in terms of appearance. Nevertheless, you will be amazed at how different the models mentioned can be. In the flower stair test you have a huge choice of optics.

Colorfully painted flower stairs

If the garden or terrace is designed rather simply, a flower staircase proves to be an eye-catcher anyway. But it only becomes really impressive when color comes into play. What you like is allowed. Whether delicate pastel colors that make a playful, romantic impression, or brightly colored paintwork that attracts everyone's attention. Just make sure that the additional planting does not create a too colorful mess. If you cannot get the model in your desired color in stores, it is of course also possible to paint over the flower staircase at home. Use weatherproof and, above all, environmentally friendly paint. You may have to refresh the paint after a certain period of time.

In a cottage garden, the plants play the main role. Accordingly, you should keep your flower staircase more subtle in color. But natural tones also offer a wide range of colors. With light beige or dark brown you give your flower staircase its very own charm. Lighter tones are ideal for the country house style, while dark colors create a rustic look. In order to still provide a nice eye-catcher on the terrace, colorful flowering plants are suitable on the individual floors.

Tips

Herbs that you grow in the tub also fit wonderfully in a near-natural garden. Thanks to little space requirements, basil, thyme and Co. are also suitable for a flower staircase on the balcony. You also benefit from the intense aroma of herbs keeping pests away from neighboring plants.

Tips

Flower stairs made of wood have the advantage that they can also be set up indoors, regardless of the look.

Structure of the stages

The structure of the steps is of course also relevant for the shapes of a wooden flower staircase described above. In the following comparison you will get to know the different parameters.

The number of steps determines the height of your model. The standard model has three floors in the test. Experience shows that the more steps a flower staircase has, the higher the purchase price. If there is little space, you can also get models in which the steps are squat. In this case, the floors only offer space for flat flower pots. Succulents with low stature still look nice in it.

shape

The normal staircase takes up a lot of space in the depth. For the balcony there are also models that are more like a shelf, but are very space-saving when they are on the wall.

stability

The thicker the boards, the more stable your flower staircase is. Of course, a filigree product looks nicer. Ultimately, however, you should base your product selection on your flowerpots. What use is a handsome model that gives way under the load of large buckets?

Tips

If your flower staircase makes a stable impression, it is only suitable for placing flower pots on the steps. Children are also never allowed to use the étagère as a seat.

If your terrace or balcony usually offers enough space for a flower staircase, but not enough space to set up a garden set on special occasions, a foldable model from the flower staircase comparison is recommended. Here you simply have to clear away the buckets and push the frame together. Unfortunately, these products are significantly more expensive.

Build flower stairs from wood yourself

flower staircase wood

If you don't want to invest a lot of money in your flower staircase, it is worth doing something yourself. Materials such as boards or pallets do not cost much and later give evidence of an impressive appearance. Even a discarded ladder can be transformed into a flower staircase in no time at all. To do this, unfold the ladder and place a wooden board over the rungs at any distance. To ensure stability, you should also screw the boards tight.

Care instructions

Even if your flower staircase is lacquered, an additional impregnation is essential. You should renew these at regular intervals. In addition, the color can fade after a while. Especially if your flower staircase is exposed to direct sunlight, repainting is necessary at certain intervals.

equipment

A flower staircase not only enriches your garden visually, but can also have practical uses. For example, it can also serve as a privacy screen on the terrace. In stores you can get additional elements that are similar to a fence for this purpose. The plants can climb up these wooden bars and thus block the view of the terrace. Such accessories are available in many different designs. With normal fruit wood or bamboo you can adapt the privacy screen to your personal style.
