Vases

How To Make The Best Use Of Vases

Filling them with fresh or silk flowers is the intended use of these lovely containers, but they can hold so much more, from coloured balls and candles to sparkling lights. A vase can be both functional and decorative. Even a plain flower vase can be a feature in all kinds of spaces, from your home to the office. Try some of the following suggestions to use these versatile containers better.

Making a bold statement

In your hallway or entrance, try placing a tall vase in a dominant colour. On its own, it can be eye-catching but add in some twigs, especially the ones with small lights. This arrangement offers visitors a warm welcome and could also dress up a modern staircase. You can also create a green space using hydroponic plants like the ones below.

- Lucky Bamboo

- Pothos Money Plant

- Spider Plant 

- Chinese Evergreen

- Philodendron

Dress Up Boring Areas

Place slim glass vases, especially beautifully-coloured blown glass, on shelves, a pedestal or the mantlepiece. This will create a feature and lift the mood of the area. Try placing a large vase to draw the eye to another piece of art on a wall. Think about using a collection of different shaped and sized ceramic vases that will blend or add a pop of contrast to your colour scheme. It works particularly well in minimalist interior design styles.
