Pots & Vases

With pots and vases, you can quickly add more character to a shelf, table, or windowsill. Whether you place a bouquet of flowers, let a few branches speak for themselves, or use an empty vase as a decorative object, this collection offers home accessories that are easy to mix and match and instantly add something to your interior.

Pots and vases for every place in your home

A good pot or vase suits the place where you use it. On the dining table, a larger model that can be seen easily often works best, while on a wall shelf or bedside table, a smaller size looks more balanced. Even without flowers or plants, pots and vases make a strong addition. Think ceramic for a warm look, glass for more lightness, or metal for a bolder accent.

Buying guide: how to choose the right pot or vase

Look at size and height

Choose the size based on the spot and what you want to put in it. A wide bouquet of flowers needs room in the neck and base of the vase. For a single branch or dried flower, a slimmer model often works better. If you use several small pots or vases together, you create a playful arrangement without it feeling busy.

Choose a material that suits the use

Glass lets flowers and stems stand out beautifully and feels light in the room. Ceramic adds softness and is ideal if you're looking for a fuller or more earthy accent. Metal, or a pot with texture, can create extra contrast on a smooth cabinet or table.

Match the color and shape to your interior

If your home already has plenty of color or prints, it's better to choose a calm base in cream, sand, grey, or brown. If your interior is quite neutral, a pot or vase in a striking color can add a friendly accent. Rounded shapes soften a sleek piece of furniture, while tall or narrow models add height.

Tips for styling and combining vases

Styling vases doesn't have to be complicated. For example, group three different heights together for a polished look. Combine a tall vase, a lower model, and a small vase in colors that are close together. That creates harmony while keeping things lively. On a large table or sideboard, you can also create a group with a pot, a vase, and a bowl or candle holder.

Practical tips for use and care

Always place a vase with fresh flowers securely, especially on a narrow shelf or in a home with children or pets. For pots without an inner container or insert, check whether they are suitable for direct contact with water or soil. On delicate surfaces, use a felt pad or coaster to help prevent rings and scratches. Clean glass easily with lukewarm water and dry it afterward for a clear shine. Ceramic is usually wiped clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth.

Frequently asked questions about pots and vases

What size vase do I need for a bouquet of flowers?

Choose a vase that is about one-third to half the height of the flower stems. The neck shouldn't be too narrow if you want to arrange a full bouquet, otherwise the flowers won't open up nicely.

How do I combine multiple vases without it looking cluttered?

Work with a consistent color family and vary mostly in height and shape. Three objects together often works well. For example, choose one tall vase, one round vase, and one small accent piece.

Can I use a pot purely as decoration?

Yes, absolutely. Many pots also make a beautiful addition to a cabinet, side table, or open shelf without a plant. In that case, pay extra attention to the shape, finish, and how the pot matches the other home accessories in the room.

Which is better: glass or ceramic?

That depends on how you use it. Glass is great for fresh flowers and creates a light look. Ceramic is ideal if you want more warmth, texture, or a fuller accent. Both materials are easy to combine.

Are all pots and vases suitable for outdoor use?

No, not every model is made for outdoor use. For the garden, balcony, or terrace, it's best to choose pots specifically designed for that purpose. Take a look at our outdoor pots collection.
