The Air Plant Shelf + Pot is a modern wall planter — a single, sculptural piece designed to bring architecture, warmth, and life to the walls most home decor overlooks. It's the simplest way to start a Braid & Wood moment, and the easiest piece to fall for.
Each Air Plant Shelf + Pot is a study in restraint: a perfect circle of powder-coated steel, a hand-finished leather strap, and a linear shelf carved from solid white ash hardwood with a mini terra cotta pot at its center.
On its own, it's a quiet focal point — above a desk, beside a doorway, or anywhere a blank wall could use a touch of life. Hang a few together, and that single piece becomes a rhythm.
The Air Plant Shelf + Pot is yours to make complete. Choose your colorway, and decide what brings it to life.
Add a hand-selected live air plant (Tillandsia Velutina) (optional).
Add a set of custom Diamond Wall Hooks for a mounting solution that actually matches the design (optional).
Thinking beyond just one? The Air Plant Shelf + Pot Duo and Trio bundle two or three pieces together at a better per-piece price.
This is where it starts. One beautifully made piece, modern wall decor, and considered design, scaled to whatever your space needs.
Modern wall decor for every room of your home:
•Living room decor — above a sofa, console, or reading nook
•Bedroom decor — over the bed or beside a dresser
•Bathroom decor — air plants love the humidity
•Dining room decor — a quiet alternative to art
•Entryway decor — a warm first impression
•Home office decor — a touch of life beside the desk
•Hallways & nooks — the in-between walls that deserve more

Product Care
Designed to last. Made to be lived with.
Your Air Plant Shelf + Pot is crafted from solid white ash hardwood, small-batch made, and finished by hand. With a little care, they're built to grow more beautiful with time.
A few simple notes from our studio:
Keep your piece indoors. The white ash and leather details are made for interior styling, not the elements.
When it's time to water or mist your air plant, lift it out of the mini pot. Our pieces are water-resistant, not waterproof. It's a small ritual that protects the finish for years to come.
For everyday upkeep, a soft cloth is all you need. Once in a while, a light pass of hardwood furniture polish brings the grain back to life and deepens the wood's natural dimension.
Treat it well, and it do the same for your space.
Air Plant Care + Guarantee
Lush plants, delivered with confidence.
An air plant is an optional add-on to your Air Plant Shelf. Add one, and you'll receive a live Tillandsia Velutina - hand-selected for their soft, silvery foliage and sculptural form. They arrive ready to display, no soil or fuss required.
The 21-Day Air Plant Health Guarantee
Every air plant we ship is backed by our health guarantee. If yours arrives looking less than its best within the first 21 days, we'll replace it - quickly and without friction.
Here's how:
Email orders@braidandwood.com with a quick photo of the plant

That's it
Caring for Your Air Plant
New to tillandsias? Jenn walks you through everything you need to know — watering, light, and the small rituals that keep them thriving.
If you add an air plant, it's final sale and non-refundable. Our guarantee covers its health on arrival. For everything else, see our full return policy.

If your Air Plant Shelf doesn't feel right in your space, you have 14 days from delivery to return or exchange it. Simple as that.
We design with craftsmanship, considered functionality, and longevity in mind. Our pieces are meant to live with you for years, not seasons. We want you to feel that the moment you unbox them.
A Note On Air Plants
If you added an air plant, it's final sale and non-refundable, but its health is covered by our 21-Day Air Plant Health Guarantee. See the Air Plant Care & Guarantee section above for the details.

Materials
Four materials. Chosen with intention.
Every Air Plant Shelf is composed of solid white ash hardwood, powder-coated steel, full-grain leather, and terra cotta.
Each material was chosen for the way it catches light, holds shape, and adds quiet dimension to a wall.
Solid White Ash Hardwood
A North American hardwood prized for its pale, open grain and soft, natural tone. White ash takes finish beautifully and reveals a different pattern across every piece. No two are exactly alike.
You'll feel the difference the moment you lift one. Solid hardwood has a real, substantial weight to it. The kind of presence you simply don't get from pine, plywood, MDF, or veneer. It's a quiet signal of quality, seen & felt simultaneously.
Powder-Coated Steel
The signature circular frame is formed from solid steel, then powder-coated in a smooth timeless finish that holds its color and depth over time.
The result is a clean, architectural silhouette. Sculptural, precise, and softened by the curve.
Full-Grain Leather
The small leather strap at the top of each hanger is where craftsmanship meets quiet detail. Full-grain leather develops a richer patina with time, adding a subtle handmade quality to a design that is otherwise modern and refined.
Terra cotta
There's a reason terra cotta has held plants for centuries. Each mini pot is fired from natural clay, giving it a warm, earthen tone and a softly porous surface that lets air plants breathe. It's the most elemental material out of the four. Hand-finished, quietly tactile, and a grounding counterpoint to the wood and steel. No two pots take the finish in exactly the same way, so each one carries its own subtle character.
Designed by Jenn Braidwood
Every curve, joint, and proportion is the result of a founder-led design process.
Drawn, refined, and prototyped in our San Diego studio before being produced in small batches by our trusted manufacturing partners.
The materials are not incidental. They are the design.

Add A Set of 3 Custom Wall Hooks (optional add-on)the recommended way to mount your Air Plant Shelf + Pot. Designed to match, so there's no hunting through hardware aisles for something that almost works. The set of three leaves you with spares for the day you add more pieces.
If you added our custom wall hooks, a hammer is the only tool you need. Tap it into the wall where you'd like the piece to live. No hooks in your order? Any small picture hanger hook or nail will do the job.
02 - Hang & Style
Slip the 1.5 inch hanging ring of the Air Plant Shelf into the hook, place the pot, and then if you added an air plant to your order nestle your air plant into the pot.
03 - Step Back & Enjoy
That's it. In a few minutes, a blank wall becomes a sculptural, plant-forward moment that quietly elevates the entire room.
Can I choose or swap the pot color on the Air Plant Shelf?
Each Air Plant Shelf is designed as a complete colorway. The terra cotta pots are selected to complement the shelf and finish they're paired with, so the pots aren't available to mix, match, or swap.
It's part of how we keep every Air Plant Shelf + Pot feeling intentional and gallery-ready right out of the box.
The pot colorway you see is the colorway you'll receive. The entire piece comes to you composed, considered, and ready to style.
Should I just buy one, or upgrade to a duo or trio?
A single Air Plant Shelf + Pot is a beautiful way to begin. On its own, it's a quiet, considered detail in a room.
But here's the honest truth: these pieces were designed to be seen together. One Air Plant Shelf + Pot is a lovely accent. Two or three create a real moment in your space. A complete, finished wall that draws the eye, adds rhythm and dimension, and turns an overlooked space into something with real style and impact.
If you're hoping to genuinely transform a wall rather than simply decorate it, the duo or trio is how you get there.
The bundles are also the smarter buy. The Air Plant Shelf + Pot Duo and Trio bring two or three pieces together at a better per-piece price.
The Trio arrives fully stacked. Air plants and a set of custom wall hooks are all included offering you our most complete wall moment and best value.
Many customers start with one and do end up coming back for more.
If you already know you want to create something with real presence, our suggestion is to start with at least the duo.
Does the air plant come with the Air Plant Shelf + Pot
An air plant is an optional add-on, so the choice is yours. Add one and you'll receive a live Tillandsia Velutina, packaged in its own box and tucked inside the larger box with your Air Plant Shelf + Pot. Everything arrives together in one shipment.
Prefer to source your own greenery, or styling the shelves another way? Leave them off and the Air Plant Shelf + Pot ships ready for whatever you have in mind.
If you do add a plant, scan the QR code printed on the air plant box for an instant care video from Jenn.
Can I purchase just one wall hook instead of the set of 3?
Our custom wall hooks are made in sets of three to pair perfectly with our trios, so we don't offer a smaller pack right now.
The good news: an extra hooks are rarely wasted. Use them for other wall decor pieces in your home, or hold onto them for the day you add more Braid & Wood pieces to your space. Most customers do. :)
And while the hooks are technically optional, they're worth it.
They were designed in the same studio, by the same hand, as the Air Plant Shelves themselves. The proportions, the finish, the quiet detailing all made to belong together.
A generic hardware-store hook will hold the weight, but it won't add to the wall the way these do.
This is the one mounting solution made to elevate and complete the way your Air Plant Shelf + Pot meets the wall. You won't find another hook quite like it.
I'm a renter. Can I install the Air Plant Shelf + Pot in my rental without damaging the walls?
Yes, beautifully! Each custom hook installs with a single small, delicate nail (think jewelry for your wall).
No anchors, no large hardware, no drill. The hole is tiny and easily patched with a dab of spackle when it's time to move on.
I love it, but I'm not sure how to style it in my space. Can you help?
Absolutely. Send a photo of your space to hello@braidandwood.com and Jenn will personally write back with styling guidance - placement, spacing, plant pairings, and how to make your trio feel like it belongs.
It's one of the quiet perks of buying from a founder-led studio.

I saw the advertisement on facebook. Im very leary of ordering anything from fb. I looked the business up and checked to be sure it was valid. They were a great company to do business with.
The piece was made with quality materials and detailed craftsmanship.
