How-to Create a Mounted Indoor Living Wall

Bring some peace and wellbeing into the home with an indoor living wall inspired by The Chateau’s Botanical Suite. Kate from @resinn_ shows us how she made her own.

What you'll need:

• 1.8m x 60cm garden trellis
• 2.4m of dowling cut down into 40mm blocks screws & plugs
• Handsaw
• Drill
• Plant pots with hooks or buckets with handles
• Tea light lanterns
• Battery operated tea lights
• Garden twine
• Scissors
• Lots and lots of plants

Step 1.

I bought some 40mm dowling from our local homebase store. Using a saw I cut the dowling into shorter lengths of 40mm. Using a saw I cut the dowling into shorter lengths of 40mm these will act as brackets to hang the trellis out from the wall.

Step 2.

I pre drilled a small pilot hole through each dowel. I then drilled a hole into the wall after marking with pencil various points where the trellis will be attached to the wall.

Step 3.

To make sure the trellis is secure I plugged each hole in the wall and then attached the dowling to the wall with a screw.

Step 4.

You can place as many dowel pieces as you like to hold the trellis securely to the wall.

Step 5.

Take your trellis and stretch it out across the wall in front of the dowels. Using nails and a hammer to attach the trellis to the dowels.

Step 6.

As well as hanging plants to the trellis I wanted to sprinkle in some garden lanterns using some twine and battery operated tealights.

Step 7.

I hung the lanterns onto the cross points of the trellis using the twine and tying a double knot and then finishing it off with a bow.

Step 8.

I found some metal planters with hooks to hang the plants in. They hooked straight onto the trellis and can be moved around really easily for the kids.

We plan on adding more plants to the trellis, growing a little garden across the wall. The kids have their own little swan watering can that they can use to take care of the plants.
