Vases

With the right vase, you can give flowers, branches, or artificial flowers an instantly polished place in your home. In this collection, you’ll find vases in different sizes, shapes, and materials, so you can easily choose one that suits your table, cabinet, or windowsill.

Vases for flowers, branches, and decoration

A narrow neck works well for a single flower or a small bunch. A wider vase is ideal for full bouquets, dried branches, or larger stems. Even without flowers, vases make lovely home accessories. For example, place two or three models together for a styled corner on a sideboard or open shelf.

Don’t always have fresh flowers at home? Then pair a vase with artificial flowers. That way, you can enjoy color in your home all year round with no maintenance. For a complete set, you can also take a look at matching pots.

Buying guide: which vase is right for you?

Choose the right size

Pay attention to the proportion between the vase and what you put in it. A bouquet often looks its best when the flowers are about one and a half times as tall as the vase. For a dining table, a lower model is often more practical, so you can still see each other properly. On the floor or on a large cabinet, a taller model will stand out better.

Choose a shape that suits the use

A cylindrical vase gives support to straight stems. A round or wide model suits loose, full bouquets well. A narrow neck helps keep flowers neatly together. Want to focus mainly on decorating? Then you can also choose a striking shape that looks great even when empty.

Choose the material consciously

Glass looks light and lets the stems show through. Ceramic or earthenware adds warmth and brings a fuller feel to your interior. Do you use the vase often and want something easy to combine? Then a simple shape in glass or a calm color is often a safe choice.

Tips for styling vases

Styling vases doesn’t have to be complicated. Rather than mixing lots of different colors, combine different heights. That keeps the overall look balanced. On a narrow shelf, a group of three often works well: one taller vase, one medium-sized one, and a small model. On a table, you can choose one larger eye-catcher or several smaller vases spread out along the length.

Frequently asked questions about vases

What size vase do I need for a bouquet?

For an average bouquet, a medium-height vase with enough weight is a good base. The stems should get support, but not sit too tightly. For large bouquets, it’s better to choose a wider and heavier vase.

How do I combine several vases with each other?

Choose vases in different heights and keep the colors calm, or clearly within one color family. By alternating shapes, you create a playful arrangement without it looking messy.

Which is more practical: glass or ceramic?

Glass is ideal if you want a light look and want the stems to remain visible. Ceramic is useful if you’re looking for a bit more calm and substance, for example on a large table, cabinet, or in an open shelving unit.

Can I use a vase without flowers?

Yes, absolutely. An empty vase can already be decorative on its own. You can also place branches, feathers, or artificial flowers in it. That way, you can use vases as home accessories all year round.

Which vase is suitable for outdoors?

Not every vase is intended for outdoor use. If you’re looking for something for the garden or terrace, it’s better to browse the outdoor pots collection. These are better suited to outdoor conditions.
