Vases elevate a room, whether they hold flowers or stand alone. Choose vases in materials like glass, ceramic, or stoneware that match your style. Consider size and placement so the vase complements the room and its furnishings. A vase can sit on a table, a sideboard, or a windowsill, creating a focal point.

As I look over the selection of vases here at Houmøllers, I often think about how much a single vase can contribute to a room. It is not just a container for flowers; it is an object that can create atmosphere, colour, and form. Many people choose a vase based on what it will hold, but I also see it as an independent element that deserves its own place. A well-chosen vase can truly enhance your home for years to come.
The material of your vases significantly influences the expression they convey. Glass vases are often light and allow light to play through them. An AYTM Arura Medium Glass Vase can offer an elegant and airy touch, especially when the light catches it. Its transparent quality means it easily blends into most interiors without appearing heavy.
Ceramic and stoneware have a different weight and often a more matte surface. A vase like the Normann Copenhagen Draw Vase or Normann Copenhagen Hexa Vase in stoneware adds a tactile dimension and a robustness to the room. Coloured ceramic vases, for example from raawii, can act as splashes of colour and add dynamism. The Serax Owl Vase is a good example of how ceramic can be used to create a playful and sculptural form that catches the eye.
Consider which material best supports the mood you wish to create in the room. Glass often suits a light and Scandinavian style, while ceramic can provide warmth and depth.
The choice of size for your vases is crucial for them to fit naturally into the room. A large floor vase can stand alone and create an impressive focal point in a corner or beside a sofa. Here, a vase like the Aakjaer Furniture Ellipse Vase is a good option if you desire a striking yet simple form.
On a dining table or sideboard, it is important to choose vases that do not dominate too much. A vase that is too tall on the dining table, for instance, can hinder conversation across the table. A lower, wider model like the Hübsch Verre Vase might be a better choice here, as it allows space for both flowers and an unobstructed view.
Think about the types of flowers you typically buy. If you often have large bouquets, you will need a vase with a wide opening and good stability. If you prefer single stems, a slimmer vase can highlight the flower's elegance.
Vases function not only as containers for flowers but also as decorative elements in themselves. I often see how people group vases together with other Objects or Decorative Trays to create a still life. This allows for playing with different heights, shapes, and materials.
A vase can look beautiful on a shelf, in a windowsill, or on a side table. Imagine a collection of vases in various sizes but within the same colour palette, creating a calm yet interesting expression. You can also place vases near Candle Holders to create a cosy atmosphere, especially when Candles are lit.
A vase can also stand entirely alone as a sculptural feature. It can act as an anchor point in the room, attracting attention with its form and colour, even without contents. This is where vases truly show their potential as design objects.
The colours and forms of your vases can either blend seamlessly with your existing decor or create contrasts. Neutral colours like white, grey, or sand are timeless and suit most settings. They allow the flowers to stand out and provide a calm expression.
If, however, you want your vases to be a statement, you can choose one in a strong colour or with an unusual form. A vase with an organic shape can soften sharp lines in a room, while a more geometric form can add structure. Try to consider how the vase's form interacts with the furniture around it. Does it create balance, or does it create an exciting dynamic?
My best advice is to choose vases that you personally love and that you can see yourself enjoying for many years. Good design lasts, and a well-chosen vase is an investment in your home.
Choose the size of your vases based on the space they will occupy and the types of flowers you use most often. A large vase can stand on the floor, while a lower vase is better suited for a dining table to avoid blocking the view.
Vases are available in many materials, including glass, ceramic, and stoneware. Glass vases are often light and transparent, while ceramic and stoneware vases offer a more robust and tactile expression.
Yes, vases can certainly be used as decorative objects without flowers. A vase can function as a sculptural element, a splash of colour, or be part of a still life with other decorative items.
Place vases on tables, sideboards, shelves, or in windowsills. Consider grouping vases of different sizes or combining them with other decorative elements to create a personal expression.
