Wabi Sabi vases

Wabi sabi vases stand out thanks to their calm colors, visible texture, and shapes that do not have to be strictly symmetrical. In this collection, you’ll mainly find earthenware and ceramics in shades such as brown, white, green, and black. First decide whether the vase will stay empty, hold a single branch, or support a small bouquet. Then you can choose more specifically based on height, opening, and the space around the vase.

Which Wabi sabi vase suits the spot?

Start with the surface. On a narrow wall shelf, a compact vase works differently than a tall vase on the floor or a spacious sideboard. Pay attention not only to centimeters, but also to the volume of the shape. A wide vase needs more free space. A slim silhouette can instead add height without blocking the view across a dining table.

• Choose the height in relation to the furniture and the empty wall space behind it.
• Match the opening to empty display, a single branch, or a loose bouquet.
• Use brown, white, green, or black to connect with colors already in the room.
• Leave enough empty space around a striking shape.

Shape and surface can differ from each other

An uneven rim or a visible surface suits Wabi sabi because it keeps the object from looking like a rigid series. So don’t automatically place two vases in a mirrored arrangement. Differences in height, color, or shape create a more relaxed look, as long as you keep the number limited. If you want to combine more objects with the same calm look, take a look at the Wabi sabi bowls or Wabi sabi candle holders.

The broader collection of wabi sabi home accessories helps repeat color and shape throughout the room. For more background on the style, read the explanation of the wabi sabi interior trend and natural simplicity.

Frequently asked questions about Wabi sabi vases

Why doesn’t a wabi sabi vase have to be symmetrical?

Wabi sabi leaves room for a shape that does not run evenly everywhere. That makes the vase itself a calm object. Keep the surroundings simple so the asymmetry remains visible without making the space feel busy.

Which vase opening works for one branch or a small loose bouquet?

A narrower opening keeps one branch or a few stems closer together. For a loose bouquet, more room at the opening is useful. Check the size on the product page and compare it with what you want to place in the vase.

How do you combine two earthenware vases without making them look like a neat set?

Choose one clear common element, such as a muted color, and let the height or shape differ. Place the vases slightly apart or staggered instead of exactly side by side.

Within the selection at Het Adres, you can first compare by size and use. The color and surface then become decisive. That way, a Wabi sabi vase gets enough space to stand as an individual shape in the living room or dining room.
