Vases of different shapes. Possible flower vase options. Modern fashion trends for vases

Updated: 02/16/2018 10:00:06

A correctly selected vase complements and emphasizes the beauty of the bouquet and decorates any, even the simplest, interior. However, you should take the choice of a product seriously - in addition to your personal preferences, you need to take into account its shape, size and material from which it is made. Today we will tell you how to do this.

Which flower vase to choose: determine the size

When choosing a vase, pay attention to its size. The bouquet should feel comfortable in it. If the plants are crowded, they will quickly wither. If the bouquet is large and heavy, and the vase is low and narrow, it will most likely tip over and water will spill onto surrounding objects.

What shape to choose a flower vase

Vases can have a wide variety of shapes: cylindrical, square, spherical, etc. But not every one of them can emphasize the beauty of a bouquet. For example, short wildflowers will look awkward in a tall vase shaped like a cylinder, while large roses with long stems will look awkward in a ball model. Remember that the length of the stems, the size of the buds and the number of flowers should all be taken into account when choosing a vase shape.

Flowers with long shoots look best in long vases (for example, cylindrical or oval). Wide bouquets with short “legs” are more suitable for low products with a wide neck. If the flower heads are small and the stems are stiff and wide, they will look best in wide containers with a narrow neck, for example, in bottle vases.

Ball vase

In such models, lush bouquets of wildflowers look good, as well as flower heads floating in the water. These can be rosebuds, daisies and orchids. Hydrogel beads are often used instead of water. This is a great option for decorating a table for a wedding or reception.

Another win-win option is a large number of flowers with small and rigid stems. Bouquets of roses, daisies, chrysanthemums, carnations and lilies are perfect. In this case, the flower heads must be placed above the vase in the shape of a dome.

Cylindrical vases go well with flowers on long stems and with large heads (roses, gladioli, sunflowers, peonies, hydrangeas).

Lush bouquets are completely unsuitable for bottle-shaped models. Such vases go well with a small number of flowers on a long stem (peonies, tulips and carnations) or one large flower.


Such models are suitable for lush and large bouquets. It is better not to place flowers with thin stems and small heads in such vases.


Square and cube vases

For such products, choose flowers with strong stems. Square, tall vases are suitable for bouquets with lots of leaves, while cube-shaped containers are suitable for lush armfuls of flowers with small stems.


Such products are suitable for heavy and lush bouquets. Flowers such as roses, freesias, chrysanthemums and peonies look good in them.


Vases are made from crystal, glass, porcelain, ceramics, metal, stone and plastic.

Crystal and metal products are ideal for classic interiors. Crystal vases themselves are a work of art, which is why the bouquets in them look especially noble and expensive;

Porcelain containers go well with classic, antique and baroque styles. They are often decorated with paintings and stucco;

Glass models are suitable for almost any type of interior. They look especially good in rooms designed in a classic, minimalist and high-tech style;

    Ceramic vases go well with ethnic, colonial, and country styles;

    Metal vases are suitable for interiors in the art deco, chalet, hi-tech, loft and postmodernist styles;

    Stone containers go well with African and antique styles;

    Plastic vases are suitable for rooms designed in a mixed style and avant-garde.

What color to choose a vase

The color of the vase should be selected according to the style of the interior. Let's look at the most popular of them.

    Glass and crystal containers, as well as products made in pastel colors, will look beautiful in a classic-style room;

    Vases in yellow, metallic, sand and brown shades go well with African style;

    Antique style loves greens, light browns and bright yellows. You can also complement the interior with vases in bright red or black;

    For Japanese-style rooms, black and white containers are suitable, as well as vases made in warm, pastel colors;

    Vases of noble red, burgundy or dark blue will look good in an Empire style interior;

    For modern style, you should choose containers in black or brown-beige;

    Light vases will look great in loft, high-tech and chalet style rooms.

Renovating a room is an exciting and time-consuming activity. But no matter how ideal the result, without decorative elements the apartment will seem “not alive,” empty and cold.

There are many accessories that will enliven the decor: wall stickers, panels and paintings, spectacular photo frames and mirrors, lamps, etc. Decorative floor vases occupy a special place in this list. These include products with a height of more than 40 cm. With their help you can enliven the interior, make it cozy and truly homely.

The history of vases begins with Ancient Egypt, Greece and the countries of the East. In those days, only very rich people could afford floor vases. Currently, these decorative elements have become accessible without losing their luxury and splendor.


Why do you need vases in room design?

If you ask yourself what is the purpose of vases in the interior, then the most obvious answer is a container for flowers. But besides this trivial application, vessels have several other important missions.

Large vases fill voids perfectly. Corners, partitions, niches, alcoves and shelves will be an excellent platform for installing these items. Vases installed in the space under stairs or in the openings of false fireplaces look stylish.

Experts advise adhering to the rule: the larger the vessel, the more free space it needs to be provided. Otherwise, the beautiful vase may get lost behind massive pieces of furniture.

Harmonious ensembles or compositions of two or more floor decorations can divide your square meters into independent, functional zones. Tall and narrow vases will visually elongate the space. Lush, large bouquets are not suitable for them.

In a pair, you can choose a single sakura flower, exotic branches of reeds, bamboo, dry cereals, or even one large leaf of a plant on a long stem. If the accessory is bright enough and richly decorated, then the bouquet may be an unnecessary component.

A vase can create an atmosphere of celebration and celebration. Before the New Year or Christmas, install fir branches in it, decorated with pine cones, ribbons, and toys. On the eve of Easter, place willow branches. This will give the room an aura of magic and bring joy to the household.

An effective point in completing the design can be a vessel, the color of which harmoniously combines with other decors: a carpet, a rug, sofa cushions or a photo frame. An unusual use for some vases is as a base for a table lamp or floor lamp.


Colors, materials and shapes of vases

When choosing the color of floor vases, you can go in two ways: buy an item that matches the furniture, walls, or choose a contrasting solution. In the first situation (focusing on the overall color palette of the room), remember that the vase should match, but not merge with the interior.

Beige tones of the room love brown accessories. A light green, sandy vase looks advantageous against the green background of the wall covering. If you can't choose a color, buy neutral white items. They suit almost all interiors.

Some tips for choosing vase colors:

  • Wallpapers with rich patterns, floral or abstract motifs call for calm, monochromatic vases.
  • Floor vases, matched to the color of the wallpaper, visually expand the room.
  • Bright, rich colors are more appropriate in halls and dining areas. For the bedroom, muted, calm colors of floor vases are preferable.

The blanks for manufacturing are:

  • Metal. Steel products are durable. They have a special, “cold” beauty. The actual place for their installation will be a room decorated in the spirit of high-tech, avant-garde, pop art or modernism.
  • Tree. Wooden flowerpots will fit well into country or Provence style. Only artificial flowers or dried flowers can be installed in them.
  • Glass. Fragile, crystal glass specimens are used to decorate small areas. They do not burden the visual perception of the room. To make the vase sparkle with all its edges, take care of the lighting.
  • Ceramics. Ceramic floor beauties never go out of style. These are the most ancient types of vases. Our ancestors used them to store liquids and bulk products. Modern clay vases are made by machine or by hand and painted. They are suitable for design in the style of minimalism, classics, and art deco. They are placed not only inside, but also outside of houses.

Floor flower vases offer an impressive variety of shapes. Classic round objects with a narrow neck are reminiscent of medieval amphorae. Cylindrical, teardrop-shaped and square accessories are popular.

The choice of one or another floor vase model is determined by the financial capabilities of the buyer and the style of the interior.

Handmade floor vases

A hand-made floor vase will be an excellent solution for those who want to get a unique accessory without significant expenses.

Almost any material can be used for creativity. Everything that vaguely resembles a floor vase in its shape can be used in the process of creation.

Plastic bottles, glass bottles, cardboard boxes and tubes, plastic and metal pipes - the master’s imagination is not limited. The blank can be a purchased vase decorated with new decorative elements.

The easiest way to make a vase yourself is to make it from cardboard. To do this you will need sheet cardboard or a box, scissors, and glue. You can knit a unique thread cover for your vessel. This solution will add warmth and comfort to the home.

To decorate floor vases, use natural and artificial materials: shells, pearls, beads, paints, paper vine, rhinestones, decoupage napkins, etc.

During the creative process, do not be afraid to experiment with a combination of different materials and decors. Be patient and persevere, even if you are making the simplest model, it will still take some time.


But the end result is worth it! When the homemade floor vase is ready and takes its place in the interior, your friends and family will appreciate the work.

The attitude towards the vase as a petty-bourgeois relic of the past is fundamentally wrong. If the vessel on the shelf is annoying, it means another one is needed, and in the right place. A large floor vase will add volume to an empty corner. Bright designer pieces, in combination with other decor, will refresh monochromatic interiors. A clay jug with wildflowers on the dining table will brighten your mood and improve your appetite.


Kinds

The primary purpose of a vase is to serve as a container for flowers, but they are also important for interior decoration. Original, elite vessels of different shapes and sizes, with or without legs, will satisfy any design requests. The countless variety of vases can be divided into types:

  • floor and tabletop;
  • indoor and outdoor;
  • for bouquets and one flower;
  • floral and decorative (which do not hold water);
  • by material;
  • according to form;
  • to size.

Material

The material from which the vase is made not only affects the styling of the interior. It also determines how long the flowers will remain fresh in the container. Ceramic containers made from clay are able to “breathe” and allow air to pass through. This property helps flowers maintain their vitality longer. Metal and plastic do exactly the opposite; plants die very quickly. Such products are good for interior decoration, but are not very suitable for living flora.





Ceramic options are captivating when used on the floor. Gzhel painting is popular for light, airy interiors. Clay is easy to sculpt, takes any shape and is easy to paint. Glass vases are the most common. The abundance of shapes and colors allows you to choose them for all occasions. They are also very good as a gift.

Our grandmothers and great-grandmothers also loved porcelain vases. They decorate many museums. There are amazing varieties of blue clay from which the finest porcelain is produced. If you hold such a product up to a bright light, you can appreciate its transparency.




Every Soviet family tried to get a crystal vase. The presence of lead in the glass makes it ringing and especially transparent. The thick carved walls of the vessel beautifully refract the light. It goes well with crystal glasses on the holiday table.





Metal products are needed for certain styles, yellow aged metal with beautiful carvings can suit oriental themes. Chinese vases painted with colored dragons look beautiful. Silver vessels look expensive, but they require periodic care, as silver darkens. The same applies to bronze, brass, copper. Forged vases will support the Gothic interior and chalet. And chrome is necessary for minimalism, techno, and hi-tech.

Plastic models are lightweight and durable, are inexpensive and have a large selection. Some types of plastic, especially transparent ones, quickly lose their original appearance. Such vases are unlikely to be passed on from generation to generation.





Vessels made of fireclay clay They resemble ancient products, but they are preferred by modern styles, although such products can often be found in classic interiors. Plaster vases are inexpensive. Those who like to be creative can easily cast plaster into a homemade mold and then paint the finished product. Concrete options are designed to decorate facade areas, courtyards and landscape areas.

Village destinations(country, Provence), eco and ethnic styles cannot do without products from natural gifts. And nature is generous with beautiful, original, environmentally friendly materials. Wooden vases are good when carved, but the smooth walls of the product with an unusual pattern of natural wood also look attractive. Unfortunately, wood is afraid of moisture and dries out at high ambient temperatures.





Vases are woven from rattan and wicker, they turn out cozy, light, but are only suitable for dried flowers. Sometimes glass jars are woven with natural material; in such products, fresh flowers will remain fresh and look organic.




Bamboo vases are lightweight and durable. They will decorate the traveler’s interior and support marine and eco style. Vases made of natural stone look rich and royal. Onyx, agate, malachite, topaz have unique colors and patterns; looking at them, you understand that nature is an unsurpassed artist.


Sizes and shapes

Contemplating flowers, you are surprised at the sizes and shapes nature has not come up with when creating these beautiful, but short-lived masterpieces. Vases should also match them: beautiful and varied. You cannot put a flower into any vessel that comes to hand. These beautiful components must necessarily be combined into a single whole, that is, they must be suitable in shape, size and other parameters.


Miniature primroses will decorate small round jugs or vases in the form of glasses. The longer the flower stem, the higher the vase should be. The narrow one is suitable for single plants, the wide one for a bouquet. Daffodil stems look good in glassware. Wildflowers (sainfoin, sweet clover, daisies) need simple, uncomplicated options - jugs, ceramic pots. Delicate meadow bouquets will feel uncomfortable in expensive, prim vases.


A glass vessel that expands like a glass is well suited for tulips, daffodils, and irises. For flowers with long stems, you should not choose a transparent vase; a porcelain one is more suitable. Gladioli, delphiniums and Dutch roses look great in a tall ceramic container. Bright vases made of simple glass with meadow bouquets will decorate the interior in Provence and country style. To suit every flower, vase shapes come in a wide variety.

  • Cylindrical ones look great in both ceramic and clear glass versions. Suitable for tall plants.
  • Round models are found in abundance: from large floor-mounted stone versions to miniature balls decorating elegant glass shelves. In group collections, round vases go well with elongated items that match in color or material.
  • Square and rectangular containers are necessary for modern urban trends (minimalism, techno, loft).
  • The unusual, irregular shape of the vessel is the most attractive. It breaks stereotypes and attracts attention, so there shouldn’t be a lot of flowers in such a vase, but just enough to fulfill the designer’s plan. For example, for a vessel in the form of a torch, a scarlet rose, symbolizing flame, is suitable. Sometimes an irregularly shaped vase is combined with a flower that continues its geometry.

Colors

A vase is a decoration that complements the interior, and its color is important, especially in combination with plants. It can either blend into the decor or be an accent. Beautiful, expensive furniture benefits from the absence of bright spots of decor; in such cases, vases repeat the color of the furniture, but the flowers in them can be in bright, active tones. And, conversely, with an accent vessel of an unusual shape and pronounced color, the plants should be invisible.


Sometimes a model is selected to match the color of the walls; it creates volume in an empty space, especially for floor options. Contrasting vessels are well played out in two-color interiors, for example, in extravagant black and white, when a black vase is displayed on a white background and vice versa. The same techniques apply to colored interiors. You can use another interesting technique: place two vases of the same size and texture next to each other, but one will repeat the color of the decor, and the second will be an accent. The good thing about bright products is that they can be placed at different levels: on the floor, table and wall shelf.


Each color has its own effect on the decor of the room.

  • The black glossy vessel emphasizes special elegance. It requires only bright flowers: crimson, scarlet, yellow, orange.
  • Silver products will complement oriental and urban interiors.
  • A brown vessel benefits from the presence of beige walls or furniture.
  • The gray tone needs a bright addition; the plants should be catchy and energetically active.
  • Blue – this color should not overload the decor; a few modest vases will be enough.
  • The green color of the vessel will suit eco-style and lovers of green interiors.


Style and design

There are no styles that categorically reject vases as decoration. Even ascetic minimalism will adequately respond to a chrome-plated copy of simple, understandable forms. Avant-garde and loft will order an exclusive item in the form of a piece of drainpipe. Pop art will decorate the shelves with containers made from branded Pepsi-Cola cans. Each apartment has its own special vase. Classic interiors prefer traditional materials - glass, porcelain, crystal with soft streamlined shapes.


Modern styles (hi-tech, minimalism) are characterized by transparent and reflective textures; glass and metal products are suitable for them. They play with light, attract with shine, but at the same time they look simple, without frills. If there is a need for color, the vase is selected according to the setting, but kept in the same tone. You can introduce vases made of plaster, concrete, or chromed metal into the interior of the loft.


Ethnic styles are characterized by vessels made of natural materials with folk ornaments of thematic countries. The vases may contain images of the Greek meander, totem animals, and hieroglyphs. The Chinese interior will be decorated with porcelain vases depicting mythical animals, as well as bamboo products. The oriental theme will be supported by mosaic vessels embodying the color of Arabian fairy tales. Vases made of fireclay clay are suitable for the Greek style.


Well-known manufacturers and reviews

Vases of any variety can be ordered in Ikea stores; the transparent glass products of their collections surprise with the variety of geometric shapes. Judging by the reviews, the following companies have proven themselves well:

  • “Era of Composite” – offers vases made of plastic and glass;
  • “Profservice - Czech Crystal” - you can purchase crystal products from the Czech Republic itself;
  • India-shop – models from India;
  • “Kislovodsk Porcelain – Phoenix” – handmade porcelain vases.





Hello, my dear readers and blog guests! The original purpose of the vase, as a temporary item in the interior, used on the occasion of the appearance of flowers in the house, is a thing of the past. Modern rooms are actively decorated with various types of vases. They have become full-fledged decorative elements, and sometimes are even the main accents of the interior.

The range of vases can amaze with its diversity. You can decorate the room with objects of both conventional shapes: round, rectangular, elongated, conical, and non-standard solutions - vases in the form of animals, castles, fancy compositions. The size range is also wide, from small tabletop ones to giant ones designed for installation on the floor. Modern vases are made from a variety of materials, such as bamboo, metal, glass, ceramics and even plastic. A wide selection allows you to get exactly what suits the room best.

How to choose a vase?

In order not to get lost in the huge assortment, to select and purchase exactly what you need, you should decide on the rules of choice. It is important to decide what task the vase will perform in the room. Based on this, you can begin to make a choice.

The size of the room to be decorated influences the choice. A small room should not be decorated with large floor vases. Only an empty corner, which is not filled with anything, allows for the presence of such decoration. It is better to complement the interior with small vases placed on the table, shelves, and windowsill.


It is better not to decorate rooms that are often visited by small children with small vases. This may be dangerous for children.


If there are often fresh flowers in the house, a medium-sized vase is necessary. It is better to place such a vase on the table, where the flowers will receive a sufficient amount of sunlight. Give preference to glass as a material; it will not distract attention from the colors.




It is necessary to combine the brightness and originality of the vase with the overall decor of the room. You can place several vases in one room at once, and they can be different in style, material, size and shape. At the same time, you need to think carefully about where they will be placed so that the result is a harmonious combination.

Types of vases

Conventionally, all vases are usually divided into floor vases - more than 40 cm high, and table vases - less than 40 cm. Floor vases often act as an independent decorative item. In this case, the original appearance is important - an intricate shape, an interesting pattern. More modest floor vases can be complemented with a bouquet of branches and twigs, live or artificial plants.

It is more acceptable to place tabletop vases on surfaces that are above floor level - tables, cabinets, shelves. What is important for them is not so much the design and shape, but rather the beautiful and clear outline, then the vase will harmoniously fit into the interior of any design and style.




It should be remembered that one flower on a tall stem looks beautiful in a tall and elongated vase, but lush bouquets look beautiful in a voluminous one. If the vase is beautiful in itself, it does not need additional decorations; sometimes they are even unnecessary.

Function of a vase in the interior

  1. The tradition of taking out vases on holidays, filling them with flowers, spruce or palm branches depending on the date, originated a long time ago. Therefore, a person, seeing a vase in the interior, is automatically infected with the spirit of celebration and solemnity. You shouldn’t turn life into a bunch of boring, gray everyday life, it’s better to make it brighter and more diverse.
  2. An ordinary family dinner will become even more enjoyable and evoke positive emotions if you decorate the table with a vase. It can be a single vase or one that will be full of colors. Often, inventive housewives decorate the dining area with matching vases filled with fruits or sweets. On a large table you can place a group of vases that complement each other. This table decoration distinguishes the dining area from the general space and visually divides the room into functional zones. It is very convenient to use this technique when working on the interior of the kitchen and living room.
  3. Rooms evenly filled with household items and not overcrowded with them look the most successful. You can revive an empty space, make it cozy and focus attention with the help of vases. They will look advantageous in niches, shelves, tables.
  4. Both single-standing vases and a composition of vases are suitable for this; they will fit in everywhere. On shelves and display cases you can often see entire collections of vases that differ from each other in size and shape. Despite the differences, such compositions look like a single whole, creating an interesting and bright accent.
  5. When creating an interior of a certain style, it is possible to make it complete with the help of correctly selected vases. In this case, they complement the overall picture and set the style along with other interior items. When creating a high-tech interior, use vases made of glass, plastic or metal. They combine modesty and minimalism with brilliance, radiance, and attractive shapes, which suits modern interiors so well. Features in the painting of vases, the presence of traditional ornaments, figures, and hieroglyphs will complement the room, made in an ethnic style. You can also play on the shapes of vases and materials for production. Exotic wooden vases are perfect. The marine theme of the room will be complemented by vases decorated or filled with shells. Vases made of bamboo and wood are also good here. The country style will be complemented by terracotta ceramic vases that resemble garden pots.
  6. With the help of decorative elements such as vases, you can add rich and bright colors to the interior. Such accents always enliven the room, make it interesting, elegant, and eliminate boredom.

Compared to other decorative elements, vases are distinguished by their versatility; they can be used with or without flowers, placed at different levels, used alone or in a group.

How to choose the color of a vase

When choosing a color there are no restrictions, there are no rules. Having decided on the task that the vase should perform in the room, you just need to choose one that suits this condition. At first glance, this may seem difficult, but after looking at examples of design work, you can clearly make your choice. What rules do designers use when decorating their interiors with vases?

In interiors where the center of attention is furniture, vases are selected specifically for it, emphasizing its beauty, uniqueness, style and color. Being a kind of complement to furniture, vases do not take attention to themselves, but highlight its advantages.


In interiors with a predominance of a couple of colors, an interesting option is to use contrast. Vases are selected in the same tones as the main colors of the room, but they should be placed against a background of a contrasting color. This technique allows you to maintain color balance and not overload the space, while at the same time making it more voluminous and interesting. If in such an interior you place a vase against a wall with a similar tone, they can merge with each other.



If the space is kept in a single color and there is no desire to make it too bright, you can add liveliness with the help of vases of the same color. Suitable for calm, classic interiors.

If a color accent was chosen when creating the interior, you can be guided by it when choosing vases. Combinations of vases of the same shape but different colors look interesting, one of which is matched to the tone of the furniture, and the second is an accent.

By filling the space with vases of different colors, styles and trends, you can achieve compatibility by arranging the vases at different levels. Such combinations are very interesting.


A large floor vase can become the only accent, the center of attention in the interior. In this case, it should not be tied to anything. Such a vase should differ not only in size, but also in luxury. It should have a twist that can attract attention, be it color, pattern, material.

How to combine vases in the interior

Grouped vases look great in the interior. When creating it, you need to focus on imagination and a sense of style. A group can be made up of identical vases; this task can be done by anyone. The result will attract attention.

It is more difficult to create a group of vases that are different from each other. But it will also look more creative and modern. You can try grouping vases of the same color, but different in shape, or multi-colored, but similar in style. Manufacturers of such vases make it easier for consumers by creating paired products and even entire groups. You can purchase the entire set at once.

Floor vases are not a simple design element, but an important part of it, sometimes a fundamental one, when the appearance of this object is used as a starting point when choosing a design direction in the interior.
Vases of a classic, round shape with a narrow neck are not suitable for every apartment, depending on their style. More and more modern forms are appearing - tall and narrow, low and wide, cylindrical, square and triangular.

Black teardrop-shaped vase

Each form is good in its own way. Unusual flowerpots with a geometric silhouette go well together in a unique combination, while classic ones are good on their own.

The role of elements such as floor vases is greatly underestimated. They can serve not only as a vessel for fragrant fresh or artificial flowers, but can also be a kind of zone delimiter. Thanks to the modern variety of shapes and colors of this item, floor vases can be matched to absolutely any interior, taking into account all its important details - the color of furniture, carpets (if available), and even the texture of the walls.

The shape of the classic vase resembles the ideal woman of the Middle Ages

Of course, large floor vases are most suitable for a spacious room: in a small one they will only clutter up the space and, contrary to wishes, it will seem uncomfortable. However, with the help of a competent, experienced designer, even such a problem can be solved.

Vases are not a necessary detail of a design project, but they are the ones who add coziness to the room and make it “lived in.” Compositions of floor vases in the interior add charm and elegance - you can arrange the vases in a row or place them side by side in a chaotic manner. Vases can perform not only the function of a “container for flowers”, but also fill the “voids”, making it more elegant and interesting. They create a feeling of celebration and often become an inimitable accent.

Using a vase, you can combine or separate space and create accents in the room.

Types and varieties

Vases of various shapes, sizes, and types are used. This detail can emphasize the stylistic direction, hide the shortcomings of the room, or can become its center, reflecting the design idea.

Vases are:

  • floor;
  • floral;
  • decorative.

Floor vases are designed for rooms with a large area and high ceilings. Due to the fact that floor vases are large, in a tight space they will look “squeezed” and awkward.

Vases with a height of 40 cm or more look advantageous on the floor

Large floor vases love spacious spaces

Flower vases do not act as a separate piece of furniture, but these objects can effectively emphasize the unusualness and beauty of a decorative or festive bouquet.

Decorative vases are rarely suitable for flowers; more often they are the final touch, emphasizing the style and design.

Before buying a vase, you need to decide where it should stand and what it will be combined with.

Vases with paintings, especially handmade ones, are most valued.

These vessels are also divided by shape - there are vases-jugs, round in shape and with a narrow neck; There are drop-shaped, cylindrical, and modern square ones.

Meaning in the interior

The value of an ordinary vase in decoration is greatly underestimated. In most homes, these items gather dust in closets most of the year and are only taken out on major holidays. However, in the design of a modern interior, vases can play a significant role and even set the image of the room. These beautiful vessels are capable of both hiding imperfections and highlighting the advantages of the room in which they are placed; they carry both aesthetics and practicality at the same time.

Floor vases and styles

Floor vases include vessels with a height of forty centimeters. As a rule, floor vases act as an independent decorative item: they are almost always decorated with an intricate pattern or have a bizarre silhouette, which makes them a full-fledged part of the project.

Wicker vase combined with a basket

It is not at all necessary to put a bouquet in a floor vase - and without flowers it looks self-sufficient and a way to decorate any interior. This is not the most important decorative object, however, it is large and very noticeable, so it should be in perfect harmony with the overall focus.

  • Porcelain products are suitable for baroque, antique and classic styles.
  • Metal goes perfectly with futuristic style and hi-tech.
  • A single-color, large-sized product of any color and shape will suit minimalism.
  • Wooden or wicker go perfectly with classics and minimalism.

Choice based on interior features

Each room has its own characteristics, and they should also be taken into account when choosing such a noticeable object as floor vases.

If the room has colorful wallpaper with small patterns, it is better to choose a plain vase. It can be calm shades, or it can be bright, rich - the choice of color depends on the taste preferences of the homeowner.

As mentioned earlier, choosing a vase color that is similar to the color of the walls or wallpaper will not only add understated elegance, but will also make the space appear larger.

It is important to choose the right option that fits perfectly into the interior of the room.

Shape is critical as many interior styles incorporate strict geometry

Products in bright colors will be appropriate in the dining room, kitchen or living room, in other words, in those places where life is “boiling.” It is better to choose a classic or wicker product for the bedroom; The same applies to the bathroom - an excessively “irritating” color of the vase will not allow you to relax while taking a bath or morning/evening beauty treatments. It is better to choose vessels in delicate, pastel shades for this room.

Variety of materials used

This piece of furniture is made from completely different materials, each of which is best combined with one or two design styles.

  • Tree. Organic and stylish things are obtained from this material. This decoration is unique and suitable for all styles except hi-tech and futurism.
  • Metal fits perfectly into the two most modern trends mentioned above.
  • Porcelain, glass. Although these materials are somewhat similar, glass is still more suitable for Art Nouveau, and porcelain for Baroque and Classical styles.
  • Stone products are quite expensive, which does not affect their popularity. Stone vases are suitable for antique-style rooms.

Vases and rooms

Floor vases in the bedroom interior can be classic “pots” with a narrow neck, simple plain ceramic figures, or wooden ones in the Art Nouveau direction. The bedroom is intended for rest and relaxation at the end of a hard working day, so futuristic metal products are definitely not suitable here - they will weigh it down and are unlikely to fit well into it.

For the bedroom it is better to choose a vase of a calm shade

In the living room, your imagination can run wild - you can turn vases into a bright accent that will stand out as a bright spot against the background of pale walls, create a composition of products of different sizes, but made in the same style, or even choose a similar vessel to match the walls - this is how the room will look bigger and more unusual.

In the hallway or large hall, vases will indicate the excellent taste of the homeowners; they can be bright or discreet, they can stand out or they can blend into the surroundings.

Vases with green plants look good in the hallway of a private house

In the kitchen, such an accessory is not very appropriate, however, if space allows, a large floor flowerpot with flowers will only add coziness and freshness.

Large floor vases in the interior: what to fill with?

There are countless options for filling a large flowerpot, limited only by imagination.
Bouquets of flowers of various shades look delightful in bright vessels, and flowers of both delicate and flashy bright shades are equally well suited to flowerpots of pastel colors. A ceramic product can be filled with an unusual composition of dry branches, for example, spruce (excellent if there are cones left on the branches) or rowan. The same composition goes well with wickerwork - you can’t put fresh flowers in these, but bouquets of artificial plants, dry branches or sets that combine these variations are the best option. An additional advantage of this choice is that you can compose the set yourself without visiting the store, which will save money and allow you to show your creativity.

A transparent vase does not have its own accent, what you fill it with, this will be the thematic composition

Vases with live plants

The beauty of a transparent vessel is that it doesn’t have to be filled with flowers. Beautiful seashells, decorative pebbles and multi-colored gel, plastic, glass or silicone balls are an excellent filling if done correctly. For example, pebbles go well with shells, but don’t go well with colored balls.

Multi-colored sand is an unusual and modern filling that can be combined with buds of artificial flowers (lilies, calla lilies, orchids), and self-sufficient decorative wicker balls can decorate a vessel without any additions.

Combining vases in the interior

As described above, an excellent solution if you want to decorate a room in an unusual way is compositions from various containers.

Combination of two vases of different heights with plants of different colors

Sometimes you can find in a store sets of vases of the same design, but of different sizes - if they are small, they can be arranged in a row on a flat surface. Arranging objects by height or not is a matter of taste; such things look great in both the first and second cases.

Grouped vases of various shapes and colors look impressive

Ideally, the floor vases have a similar silhouette, but some are taller and narrower, others lower and wider. With their help, you can create an excellent, unique composition by filling some of them with flowers, others with shells, and others with balls. The main point: everything should be combined with each other, at least in terms of color.

Combined vessels of the same color, made of the same material, but completely different shapes and sizes look stylish.
