Who doesn’t love a flower vase? Not only do they look wonderful when they’re filled with fresh flowers, but they also work beautifully as decorative pieces in their own right. From glass flower vases to modern ceramic vases, there are countless ways to incorporate these versatile home accessories into your interior.
We’ve put together some of our favourite ideas for decorating with vases. And the best bit? You can achieve a stunning look in your home without being an expert in flower arranging.
Create a Cluster of Bud Vases
Why put all your flowers in one vase when you can use a number of small bud vases instead? That way, you’ll give each flower its own moment in the spotlight, and you can move them around as the mood takes you.
Embrace Modern Geometry
Some of the most eye-catching vase designs feature geometric shapes and textures. Contemporary ceramic vases with strong, bold lines will chime well with a modern interior, and create a bold focal point even when they’re not filled with flowers.
Play with Height
Vary the heights of your vases to create depth in your interior. At Knot Home, you’ll find sets of tall and short vases for a ready-made designer look in your home.
Choose the Right Silhouette for Your Flowers
Fresh flowers can transform a room, so show them off in a suitable vase. Tall, narrow vases look wonderful with a single dramatic flower, while an hourglass silhouette works best with a traditional bound bouquet.
Place Vases Throughout Your Home
Why limit your flower vases to classic spots like your dining table or living room mantlepiece? Use displays of vases to create a warm welcome in your hallway, freshen up your bathroom shelf, or add colour to your kitchen window sill.
Use Your Mirrors
If you love fresh flowers, why not amplify the effect by placing your vase in front of a mirror? Your bouquet will pack even more of a punch if you position it in front of a bedroom, living room or hallway mirror for an explosion of bright colour.
Look Beyond Flowers
While glass vases are perfect for holding posies and bouquets, don’t feel that you have to save them for flowers. Small glass bowls look wonderful filled with pot pourri, coloured marbles or even candy.
Add a Pop of Colour
A collection of coloured glass vases on a mantlepiece, coffee table or bookshelf is an easy way to brighten up your interior. Choose glass flower vases of varying heights, and add glass oil diffusers to deepen your display.
