Types of vases as decorative elements

We’ll take you through classic options to more modern looks, simple designs to more baroque. There are so many types of vases as decorative elements, however, it’s not easy to mention all of them. We’ll take a look at the most popular types of vases as decorative elements in this article.

  • Ceramic vases: These are excellent vases and are sometimes passed from generation to generation. They are usually painted in a lot of detail. They are perfect in homes with baroque or nineteenth-century decoration. On the other hand, if you like a more informal feel, this probably isn’t the best option for you.
  • Glass vases: These vases are always popular. They come in different shapes, sizes, and colors so you can adapt them to any room. One option is to fill the vase with different types of sand, flowers, stones, or seashells. This is a fun way to play with textures and colors.
  • Wicker vases: If you have children, wicker vases are the best option. You don’t have to worry about the kids bumping into them or breaking them. This type of vase also isn’t as serious as the other types of vases so it can add a casual touch to your living room, hall, or bedroom.

Size isn’t a problem

Vases can be small or large, however, so you can find one that suits your home and your needs. If you have limited space, a simple vase on a table or in the hall can add a touch of design to your home. If you choose a glass vase, we recommend filling it halfway with different combinations of stones and adding a flower. You’ll give what was an empty and boring surface a fresh look.

On the other hand, if you have large empty spaces, vases are also a good option. Larger ones can be placed directly on the floor and add an elegant touch to the room. If you have kids, it might be best to avoid large, breakable vases like this though. We all know what can happen when kids run around the house.

Why not make your own vase?

The DIY trend is increasingly fashionable. We encourage you to set your imagination free and create your own vases as decorative elements. If you can’t think of any ideas, we’ll show you several options that will be sure to get your creativity flowing.

To make your own vase, you can use objects that you’re not using anymore. It’s a great way to recycle and give a second life to any bottles, jars, bowls, or even fish tanks.

To create harmony in your home, however, you should take into account the type of decoration in the room and the predominant colors. This way you’ll know which colors are most appropriate for your vase. On the other hand, you can also leave it unpainted for a rustic look.
