Collection: vases

When you think of flowers, you may think of your favorite flower such as a rose, carnation, or daisy. Whatever it may be, surely you’ll want to put them on display somewhere in your home, hence the most popular and widespread use of a vase. However, they are more than just a piece of decor to place your flowers in, they are a statement piece that enhances the look of whatever you put in them and also demonstrates personal taste. Whether they are used as a centerpiece, a shelf accent, or a standalone decor item, a humble vase can bring a bit of personality and charm into your home.

Choosing Your Vase

Although they may not be considered a very versatile or sensational decor item, like other decor, they should be chosen with purpose. Some may think it is just a flower holder while those who pay attention may find beauty in their color, shape, and design. Take note of a few considerations before your next purchase.

Size & Shape

Consider size and shape as well as placement for your glassware. Tall vases work well as centerpieces on a dining table or can be placed on the floor. On the other hand, small vases fit better on shelves and coffee tables while still providing a unique appeal.

Functionality

Also, consider the functionality of your piece. If you plan on using your vase to store flowers or other plants, opt for glass or ceramic containers for guaranteed waterproofing. For standalone pieces such as decorative vases, sculptural and wooden pieces can do just fine.

Match Your Decor

Choose a piece that matches your furniture and interior design. This is not to say that you have to make it invisible or you can’t get a statement piece. Just ensure that your next additions create a cohesive look with your aesthetic.

Types of Vases

Now that you have an idea of what to look out for, it’s time to pick something that’s right for you. Out of the wide variety of options available on our site we have brought to you some of the most popular and well-reviewed flower vases that can make their way into your next home project.

Glass

If you’re seeking a classic and versatile choice that offers an elegant way to display anything from flowers to feathers, a glass vase is the perfect choice. Their transparent design is great for displaying all sorts of flowers and can also have colored glass and added designs. They come in a variety of shapes such as cylinder, bottle, or fluted to match any aesthetic you are going for. They fit best with modern and contemporary looks, especially with color.

Ceramic & Porcelain

For a more charming and refined look, consider purchasing a porcelain or ceramic vase. These ornaments can be both manufactured or handmade often designed with intricate patterns or artisanal finishes. They provide a bit of texture and uniqueness to the room while still being resistant to wear, ideal for long-term decor. They can be found in both glossy and matte finishes which are suited best for traditional, rustic, or bohemian interiors.

Wood

For those who want to achieve a natural or earthy aesthetic, wooden vases are the perfect way to add warmth and organic appeal to your space. Since they are crafted from wood, each piece has its own unique grain pattern for a sustainable and special touch. However, unlike other waterproof vases, these are not suited to hold water but rather other interesting items such as branches, dried flowers, or feathers. They do great in farmhouse and Scandinavian interiors.

Stone & Marble

Add a luxurious touch to your space with a vase constructed from marble, travertine, and other stone materials. Their pieces feature beautiful veins from the rock formation as well as unique textures for a personalized feel. They can come in simple or sophisticated designs that can function as the perfect centerpiece vase. They are made to stand the test of time whether it is in a contemporary or high-end interior style.

Storage & Care

If it's time to put your vases away for the season or you want to clean them up a bit before hosting, keep a couple of these tips and tricks handy when doing so.

• Store Properly: When storing away, ensure that they are stored in a safe location. Confirm that they are secured properly to avoid tipping and other accidents.

• Clean With Care: While most ceramic and glass vases can be cleaned up with a solution of soap and water and a sponge, other materials may require different care. For example, a wooden alternative may require cleaning with a damp cloth and protection with a special coating to retain its finish.

• Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Exposing your vases to extreme temperature changes can cause cracking in class and ceramic decor. Avoid exposure to heat and really cold environments.

• Prevent Cloudiness: Prevent your pieces from having a cloudy look by using a microfiber cloth to polish your glass vases for a shiny and streak-free look.

   

What Are The Benefits Of Using Faux Flowers With Vases?

Pairing a wonderfully designed vase with faux flowers offers multiple benefits aside from looking great all the time. Some of these benefits include:

• No watering and no trimming are required, which keeps them low-maintenance

• They are allergy-friendly, which is great, especially for those who are allergic to pollen

• Faux flowers are long-lasting, which means you can set them and forget them, ideal for hard-to-reach places like shelves and mantels

• You can switch the flowers out seasonally to match an ongoing celebration or theme without having to buy new flowers.

How Do I Safely Store My Vases When Not In Use?

Keeping your vases safe and protected when storing them is a process that should not be overlooked, regardless of the value or price of the vase.

Start by wrapping each vase individually in a soft cloth or bubble wrap to create a protective layer around the vase. Take a decent-sized box of your choosing and begin to stack them upright while filling up the empty spaces in the interior of the box with packing paper or foam to prevent shifting. Avoid stacking heavy items on top of the vases or the box to prevent damage. Place the box in a cool area with not a lot of variability in temperature, and also put a sticker or sign that indicates that the box has glass and is fragile.
