The pedestals are structures, more or less tall, that they serve to revalue what you want to place on top of themBe it a sculpture, a figure, an aquarium, a bouquet of flowers or a potted plant. There are several types of pedestals, which are:
- Double: supports two columns, and is wider than it is tall.
- Continuous– Maintains an order of columns without ledges or trim.
- Decorated: it is the one that has been carved with low reliefs.
- Triangular: forms a triangle with three faces.
- Irregular: has neither the right angles nor the equal faces.
- Flanked: has its angles strengthened with other bodies.
- With withdrawal or departure: is the one that has a row of columns from which they join and others enter the intervals.
The pedestal can be made of several types of materials, such as wood, glass or marble, and it will depend on your budget and your tastes that you choose one or the other, since all can withstand the inclement weather well. The only thing that should be done to the wooden one is to give it a pass of wood oil once a year so that it does not spoil.
Where to place the pedestals?
Pedestals for plants can be placed in any cornerbut they look especially good at the entrance of the house, putting one on each side of the door, or in the corners. Of course, the color must combine with those in the rest of the area, not standing out much since the objective is, remember, to make the plant the true protagonist.
So, for example, if the room is dominated by soft colors, the pedestal must have a soft color, such as white; On the other hand, if somewhat more intense colors such as red predominate, the pedestal can be navy blue.
