Are your perfume bottles cluttering your space? This DIY Perfume Display Stand Using Diamond Mesh is the perfect solution for organising your fragrance collection in style. I’m a perfume lover—and my collection was getting out of control. I needed a way to display them that was pretty, functional, and sparkly… even if I’m not exactly a girly girl. This DIY perfume stand is covered in diamond mesh and gives off the most gorgeous sparkle—something photos just can’t capture!

Cutting and Prepping the Wood

Start by digging into your scrap wood stash and cutting the timber to the sizes listed above. Mismatched wood is fine—it’ll be covered in mesh later. I wanted a two-tier step look for added interest.

To create the curved base, I made a large compass from scrap wood to draw a semicircle. Find the centre of your base wood, draw your shape, and cut it out with a jigsaw.

TIP: Don’t forget to allow room underneath for supporting timber. I made this mistake and had to glue a second piece underneath to fix it.

Once cut, sand all your wood smooth. Since I used reclaimed wood, mine needed a good clean-up to help the spray adhesive stick later.

Assembling the Frame

Start with the front and middle steps:

1. Drill and countersink pilot holes so screws sit flush.
2. Screw the middle step into the front step.
3. Then screw the back support into the middle step.

Because I layered the base after my cutting error, I sanded both pieces until they were flush. Leave the steps unattached from the base for now—this makes decorating easier.

Painting and Decorating

Paint all wood black so it won’t show through the mesh. I used matte black spray paint for quick coverage.

Once dry, cut your diamond mesh into strips slightly longer than each section. I used spray adhesive to attach it without glue seeping through the holes.

How to apply mesh:

• Spray the back of the mesh and the wood
• Let it get tacky (about 10 minutes)

I started with the back and worked forward. If your stand will sit in front of a mirror, cover the back too—it makes a big difference visually.

Once the stand was covered, I trimmed away the excess diamond mesh. Since the mesh is soft plastic, I used small nail scissors to carefully cut close to the edges for a neat finish.

Final Assembly

Once decorated, use wood glue to attach the steps to the base. Clamp the pieces together and place a paper towel underneath the clamps to protect the mesh.

Before the glue dries, check that the mesh lines up. I didn’t—and it was too late to fix later!

And just like that, your sparkly perfume stand is complete! It’s such a shame the camera can’t capture the shimmer properly. This stand now displays most of my perfume collection beautifully, although I may need to make a bigger one soon!

Here are some more storage ideas you may like.

This vintage cabinet was upcycled into a jewellery box, but with a little imagination, I can see it becoming a stunning perfume cabinet—perfect for displaying your fragrance collection in style.

I repurposed an old study desk into a makeup bar to keep all your beauty products organised in one place. It also makes a fantastic storage solution for your perfume collection, keeping everything tidy and within easy reach.
