Whether they’re hosting a bouquet of flowers or not, the best vase will make a statement in your home no matter where you place it.
Vases come in all shapes and sizes, from thick to thin and all sorts of shapes in between. Truthfully, we’re a little bit spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing a vase, so before you become overwhelmed by the options available on the market, its important to think about what type of vase you’re looking for.
Are you someone who regularly loves to have giant bouquets in the home? A wide-mouthed classic vase will probably get the most use in your household and will help you keep your artfully designed arrangement intact.
Or perhaps you prefer the elegance of one or two statement flowers instead? Choosing a vase with a narrow opening will prevent stems from falling haphazardly.
If you’re looking for a piece that is more sculptural, don’t be afraid to have a play around with materiality and texture. Fluted glass has come back in a major way as a home decor trend and here are a number of artisans who are playing around with ceramics to create beautifully sculpted pieces.
To help inspire you, we’ve pulled together 13 of the best vases that will instantly elevate your home decor…
