How to Make a Custom LEGO® Flower Wall

Find out how to turn your LEGO® Botanicals collection into a space-saving showstopper by using a simple pegboard.

Let’s face it, many of us dream of having a lush garden where plants thrive and colors pop. But who has space for that? For lots of us, the poor houseplants gasping for water on the windowsill – silently judging our lack of green thumb – is the closest thing we can get to nature.

*sighs* If only there were a way to bring the outdoors indoors without taking up too much room…

Well, guess what? The LEGO Botanicals range, plus a trusty pegboard is all you need! This combo offers a space-saving solution that not only adapts as your collection grows, but also as your taste changes. Whether you have a cozy flat or a roomy house, your LEGO garden can flourish without spilling out all over your living space. Exciting, right?

So, without further ado, we’re going to show you how to create a LEGO Botanicals display that’s both striking AND space-efficient (yep, it’s doable – trust us!)...

Saving space

A pegboard display is perfect for smaller homes where wall space is hard to come by, letting you create a vertical garden that doesn’t gobble up your entire living area.

Plus, a pegboard display can brighten up the darker parts of your home, like under the stairway or a particularly uninspiring corner. You know the one – that spot which defies the laws of physics and stays dark no matter what time of day it is (gah – just us?!).

Choose your palette

Want a pegboard display that’ll truly pop? Try playing around with color theory to take it to the next level!

You might go for complementary colors, so each piece pops, or you could stick to a monochromatic theme with a few different shades of one color.

For an even more simple and subtle look, you could choose plants of similar colors. Or, if you’re feeling bold, you might group all your reds and yellows together to make the display even more vibrant.

After all, your pegboard is a canvas – so the LEGO plants need to be the paint. Get creative!

Mount it!

With so many different LEGO Botanicals sets available, it’s worth thinking about the different mounting techniques.

For single flowers, you could try using small baskets or elastic straps to keep them nice and snug on the board.

Got potted plants? You might want to display them on shelves or ledges attached to the pegboard. And if you have singular pieces like the LEGO Botanicals Sunflowers (40524), you could put them in a mini vase or container to make them stand out!

When it comes to plants and flowers like the LEGO Botanicals Orchid (10311), they can be slightly trickier because of their bigger pots. So, a good tip is to try tipping them back slightly on a ledge for better balance. Then, once you’ve done this, you can adjust the leaves and flowers, so they lay flat against the board.

One thing that’s great about LEGO plants compared to real ones (not that we don’t also advocate for real ones... #nature) is that if they fall, it’s no big deal! LEGO creations are realllllly forgiving (thank goodness). If pieces come apart, just snap them back together. No harm done!

Tips for a perfect display

Are you feeling inspired? Before you grab your running trainers to sprint to your nearest pegboard-selling shop, keep these handy tips in mind:

• Don’t go overboard with crowding. Leave some breathing room between pieces. It’ll make adjusting easier and stop accidental knock-offs.
• Using hooks for stems? Make sure they’re attached to a solid part of the plant. You don’t want your LEGO flowers taking a dive!
• To add some extra pops of color to your display, try using small jars filled with colorful LEGO DOTS elements.
• Got a dark or awkward space in your home? That’s the perfect spot for your pegboard. It’ll bring a splash of color right where you need it most!
• Pegboards are super adaptable, so don’t be afraid to play around with different arrangements. Mix it up until you find what works best for your space and style.

Let your inner florist flourish

Your pegboard isn’t just a display – it’s a living piece of art. No, really! It grows and changes with your tastes.
