Decorating with vases – where to start

When it comes to decorating with vases, choosing the right vase is key as it can transform a floral display.

1. Choose the right vase for your flowers

When it comes to decorating with flowers be sure to have a selection of vases at the ready. Different blooms have different habits, plus, as living things, they change over time causing the shape of the arrangement to evolve.

'I’d recommend having a choice of vases,' explains London-based florist Gail Smith (opens in new tab) for LSA International (opens in new tab). 'A bunch of pink tulips could look amazing in one vase and a dog’s dinner in another. Vases whose neck is narrower than the base of the vase are the easiest to arrange in.'

2. Line a mantel with artisan vessels

Arranging a series of vases in different shapes and heights along is a lovely mantel decor idea. For an artful display with texture and interest choose a selection of organic, high borosilicate glass vases such as these designs

While they will look beautiful as a permanent display, filling the vases with a few single stems of seasonal blooms will help keep your mantel looking pretty and fresh throughout the year.

3. display colored glass vases

Tinted glass vases have grown in popularity in recent years as more of us are embracing color in our homes. They can be a lovely way to accent colorful blooms or to elevate humble wild flowers, plus they are handy for obscuring messy stems.

How Do You Display A Vase In Your House?

There are many ways to display vases in your home. When filled with flowers they make the perfect table centerpiece or can be placed on a console in a hallway as part of your entry table decor ideas.

Vases bursting with new season blooms are classic spring mantel decor idea for brightening up your home, alternatively, try filling them with dried flowers or rustic branches for a fall mantel display.

When flower vases aren't in use don't hide them away in a cabinet in the utility, consider displaying them on open shelves or in a glazed cabinet – not only will this make for a lovely display, it will allow them to be easily seen and accessed.

Statement vases with colorful hand-painted designs or striking shapes look lovely displayed alone with no flowers on a mantel, shelf or side table, alternatively, try displaying a collection of vases in different shapes and materials for a quirky display.

For a dazzling display, place a selection along a windowsill where they will shine like jewels in the sunlight.
