Which vase should I choose? The guide to the perfect vase for your interior
Are you unsure which vase best suits your interior? You're not alone. A vase might seem like a small detail, but it can make all the difference in the ambiance of your space.
Whether you're going for minimalist, warm Japandi, or a playful styling: the right vase provides balance, atmosphere, and character.
In this blog, we'll help you step-by-step in choosing the perfect vase.
1. Choose the right vase shape for your space
The shape of a vase largely determines its appearance.
Narrow vases
Perfect for a calm, elegant look. Ideal for a few branches or dried flowers.
Wide vases
Make a statement. Beautiful on a dining table or as a centerpiece.
Organic shapes
Totally on-trend. These vases provide a playful and luxurious look and fit perfectly in modern interiors.
Tip: Combine different shapes for a playful effect, but keep the color palette calm for balance.
2. What size vase do you need?
A common mistake: choosing a vase that is too small.
Large vases
Perfect for the floor or a large table. Think of artificial branches or plumes.
Medium vases
Ideal for a dresser, side table, or coffee table.
Small vases
Perfect for styling in sets or on a tray.
Styling rule: The vase should be approximately 1/3 to 1/2 of the height of your flowers or branches.
3. Material and appearance
The material of a vase determines the atmosphere in your interior.
Ceramic
Warm, stylish, and timeless. Perfect for a calm base.
Glass
Light and elegant. Ideal for a fresh and minimalist look.
Stone or concrete look
Tough and modern. Fits well in industrial interiors.
Tip: Combine different materials for a layered styling.
4. Color: neutral or statement?
The color of your vase determines whether it stands out or blends into your interior.
Neutral tones (beige, white, taupe)
Timeless and easy to combine.
Soft colors (pink, lilac, sand tones)
Perfect for a warm and feminine atmosphere.
Dark tones (black, anthracite)
Provide contrast and depth.
Styling tip: Echo the color of your vase in other accessories for a cohesive look.
5. What do you put in a vase?
The contents of your vase are just as important as the vase itself.
Dried flowers
Low maintenance and perfect for lasting styling.
Artificial branches
Ideal if you like a full look without maintenance.
Fresh flowers
Provide liveliness and a sense of the season.
Trend: Mix different heights and textures for a playful effect.
