Interesting and decorative pieces – Vases

Just pretty ornaments? On the contrary! Vases are now self-evident, design statements on their own, inspiring out-there flower arrangements – from the avant-garde to the romantic. One thing is clear: floristry has never been more varied or creative. Artichokes can be found flowering freely.

People are also experimenting with giant blooms, or pairing delicate grasses with natural meadow flowers, or even tying luxuriant bouquets in which flowers seem to dance. This calls for something more than your average, multi-purpose glass vase. They need statement vases, in all shapes and sizes, either to support the flower or interior decorations in their own right.

Vases have always been one of the most versatile interior design accents out there. The very best vases are consistently functional but continue to provide aesthetic value even when your favorite flowers go out of season.

This post looks at 50 unique vases in every style ranging from artistic and interpretive to minimalistic and even surreal. If you’re looking for home accessory inspiration or perhaps ideas for useful housewarming gifts, these distinctive vases are sure to stoke your creativity. Next thing you know, you’ll be looking through your heirloom seed collection to find the perfect blossoms for your new favorite accent piece.

Ceramic vase: Natural living

Ceramic vases reflect the wider tabletop trends: You can find not only rustic earthenware that proudly displays traces of its handcrafted origins, but also clean graphic lines and patterns.

Popular pastel and powder shades go particularly well with green leaves, hence the colour trend in vases. Look out for playful patterns and ornaments too.

Glass: Colourful and stylish

The transparency of glass vases lends them a light look, even in larger sizes and brighter colours. They add calm and effortless style to a space.

As a material, glass offers an extremely wide range of possibilities for producers and designers to get creative. Traditional spherical and bottleneck vases are still in evidence, alongside shapes that only glassblowers could achieve and which vividly showcase their skills. Other on-trend designs include colour progressions, multicoloured glass and an antique look with air bubbles.

For solo flowers: Individuals make an impression

When showing off single blooms or grasses, classic white porcelain vases are an option, as are abstract constructs or bold, playful designs. All provide a fitting backdrop to popular exotic flora.

We’re really excited about designs which contrast with nature, setting flowers in test-tube and techno shapes, or glass spheres in which roses bathe underwater as if in an aquarium.

New blue China and Delft

The high art of fine porcelain is giving new life to old vases. Traditional Chinese and Delft motifs get a modern twist or avant-garde shape for an ultra-cool, contemporary revival.

Even the conventional beauty of hand-painted flowers, classic blue patterns and pretty decoration gets a modern interpretation which blows away the cobwebs. Whether it’s a retro feel or a 3D decoration, traditionally adorned vases are the new artistic centrepiece in today’s interior design.

The lovely shapes of these vases will entice everyone to arrange wild-flower bouquets, twigs or individual blooms: bulbous vases with narrow necks don’t need a showy bouquet – every single item comes into its own.

That is it for today. We hope you like our new topic about vases.
