Finding the Perfect Ceramic Vase for Your Space

When hunting for the perfect ceramic vase, consider how one might complement your interior design vision:

 

  1. Define Your Style: Before you start shopping, take a moment to define your style. Are you drawn to modern designs with clean lines, or do you prefer the organic shapes found in bohemian decor? Knowing your aesthetic will guide your selection process.
  1. Consider Size and Proportion: A vase should enhance your space, not overwhelm it. Consider the size of your chosen location—whether it’s a table centerpiece or a decorative shelf—and select a vase that fits proportionately. Taller vases work well on console tables, while smaller ones can adorn mantels or desks. A large jug vase with a statement botanical arrangement is a show-stopper on entry tables and in dining rooms while bud vases add the perfect elevated accent to powder rooms.
  1. Play with Color and Texture: Choose colors that either complement or contrast with your existing decor. If your room features muted tones, a vibrant ceramic vase can serve as a striking focal point. Conversely, if your space is already colorful, opt for a more subdued vase to maintain balance. The tone-on-tone look is also popular- if that’s your vibe, choose a creamy off-white vase to add dimension to a room full of light neutrals. Consider texture ad a way to shake up a predictable space. A curvy vase on a traditional console livens up the vignette, and unexpected ornaments show off your eclectic style.
  1. Explore Unique Designs: Don’t shy away from unconventional shapes or artistic flair. Unique ceramic vases can become conversation starters, adding character to your home. Look for vases that showcase intricate patterns, unexpected silhouettes, or mixed media elements.
  1. Embrace Functionality: While aesthetics are important, consider how you will use the vase. Some vases are perfect for fresh flowers, while others are designed for dried arrangements or even as standalone art pieces. Choose one that suits your lifestyle.
    If you absolutely love a vase not meant for your fresh florals, try this hack: set a up or narrow plastic liner with water inside the vase, then add flowers. Voila- your favorite vase is protected from the wear associated with holding fresh bouquets!
  2. Be Creative!: Ceramic pitchers and some styles of bowls function nicely as artful ceramic vase installations. Consider shape and proportion, whether you're displaying botanicals and what kind, and use your imagination!
