Coastal vases

Coastal vases keep an interior light with blue, white and transparent accents. The collection includes many earthenware vases, alongside glass and ceramic. Don’t choose a vase based on colour alone. First decide whether it will stand empty, hold a single branch or carry a bouquet. Then pay attention to height, opening and the amount of daylight around the chosen spot.

When do you choose earthenware, ceramic or glass?

White or blue earthenware and ceramic create a clear block of colour. Glass can look lighter because the background remains partly visible. Which option works also depends on the surface underneath. On a dark cabinet, white creates more contrast; with lots of white in the room, blue or coloured glass can define the shape better.

• Choose the material look in relation to the background.
• Match the opening to empty use, a single branch or a bouquet.
• Compare the height with the available space and the sightline.
• Don’t place a wide vase somewhere you need daily workspace.

Use daylight without letting the vase disappear

Place glass or a light vase where daylight can show off the shape, but also judge how the vase looks later in the day. Blue doesn’t have to feel dark or nautical. Combine it with white, an open layout and little competing decoration. A large group of blue tones next to each other makes the look feel heavier more quickly.

Bring the colour back in Coastal wall decor or in a few pieces of Coastal tableware. The main page with coastal home accessories brings the product groups together. You can read more about this light base in Coastal at home with light, texture and calm styling.

Frequently asked questions about Coastal vases

How do you keep a blue coastal vase from looking too nautical?

Use blue as a colour accent and leave shells, anchors and other literal coastal symbols out. White, glass and empty space around the vase keep the combination lighter.

When do you choose white earthenware and when transparent or coloured glass?

White earthenware creates a clear, calm surface. Transparent glass shows more of the background, and coloured glass adds a more subtle block of colour. See which shape stands out best in the chosen spot.

Where does a light coastal vase catch the most daylight?

Near a window there is usually more daylight, but place the vase where it stands safely and doesn’t obstruct use of the piece of furniture. Also look at how the light changes throughout the day.

Blue, white or glass only becomes a meaningful choice once the location and use are clear. So compare the Coastal vases at Het Adres from those two points, and then pay attention to the effect of the daylight.
