Conservatory plant display idea?

We have a narrow conservatory (6m x 1.5m), and it houses a lot of indoor plants of various sizes like monstera, pelargonium, succulents, tradescantia, etc.

At the moment I have them sitting on mismatched coffee tables I've collected from charity shops over time, but I'd love a more unified look. Can anyone suggest anything? Maybe lots of simple shelves?

I attach a floor plan but note we don't use the two doors on the RHS.

Thank you!

Wooden greenhouse staging at various heights?

Shelves on the walls and various hanging ones at different heights.

Would this sort of thing work?

We did this in our last house. Used the ladder shelves with great success.

So ladder shelf either end without windows - if you can do the whole wall it would look very dramatic and make it appear bigger.

I would then keep some of your random coffee tables and paint them a series of related shades or colours to unify them but still have a bit of the collector chic variation that gives character.

I find unifying all the pots makes a big difference as well. So either all varying shades of simple terracotta. Or you can use paint and bicarbonate or something for texture mixed together to make a fake stone effect. If you look on Instagram a lot of people are doing it under hashtag called ‘trash to terracotta’. Haven’t done it myself yet but am going to as It looks really good.

Thanks all. I'll take some photos of the current arrangement to give you an idea and something to critique. I feel like a bit more height to the displays would be good.

Would this kind of thing work? We bought it quite cheaply on Amazon just over a year ago, and it's quite compact.
