A vase can provide a beautiful silhouette to any room. Though delicate on the surface, a vase can make a strong impact on style and atmosphere, and can also accent your décor. It can be used as a statement piece on its own or hold a gorgeous bunch of fresh-cut flowers, adding vibrancy and joy. When it comes to vases, the possibilities are endless, coming in a wide variety of colours, shapes and sizes to suit any taste, view our guide below for some quick tips.

What to Look for in a Vase:

1. Think about where you want to place your vase: Do you want something eye-catching in the entryway that visitors will adore? Something that stands out in the corner of the lounge? Or how about something with clean lines and a sleek body to complement your bathroom décor?
2. An hourglass shape is among the most common types of vase. It can give your décor an air of romance and a distinct feminine touch, especially when paired with a single red rose or orchid stem.
3. A tall glass or ceramic vase is perfect for long stems and decorative branches, and can even be filled with crystals or other precious stones for that hint of luxury.
4. A glazed stoneware jug or vintage-inspired clay vase can make a room feel cool and bohemian, thanks to their warm, earthy tones. Place outside to complement outdoor furniture or fill with gorgeous ferns.
5. Love a little bit of kitsch? Look for vases with bold, pop art-style graphics or unusual shapes, and contrast them with solid colours or décor accessories like round timber trays for that sweet retro feel.
6. Vases in bright patterns or made from coloured glass can also feel modern and playful.
7. Have contemporary décor with a bit of a dramatic edge? Go for smoky glass vases or a vase with a smooth matte finish in dark, sensual tones like navy or teal, making your lounge room or dining room feel warmer and more intimate.
8. Combine and contrast vases of different sizes, textures and shades to promote consistency. Match a floral motif with a plain white vase. Set a family of ceramic vases in a variety of colours against a neutral background. Centre a trio of glass vases of varying heights on a coffee table for that elegant designer touch.
