Why the Right Vase Matters?
As our daily lives get easier, more of us are turning to hobbies like flower arranging to add beauty and calm to our homes. But here’s the truth: even the most stunning bouquet can fall flat without the right vase. A well-chosen vase isn’t just a container—it’s the stage that makes the flowers shine.
So how do we pick the perfect one? Let’s go step by step and make this simple and fun.
1. Vase Material: What Works Best?
Most people prefer glass vases over plastic or ceramic—and there are good reasons for that. Plastic vases can easily grow bacteria, making flowers wilt faster. Glass, on the other hand, is much more hygienic. Plus, with clear or tinted glass, we can see the water level and freshness clearly, making care easier.
- And let’s be honest: a sleek glass vase just looks better. It fits into almost any décor and adds a fresh, modern vibe to the space.
2. Color: Keep It Simple and Stylish
When it comes to vase color, less is more. We recommend going for:
- Transparent smoky gray – this color is versatile and stylish. It works with almost every kind of flower.
- Light solid colors – soft shades blend into our interiors easily, especially in modern or minimalist spaces.
These options won’t clash with flower colors, and they let the blooms be the star of the show.
3. Size: Don’t Go Too Big or Too Small
If we’re just starting out or arranging flowers casually at home, one medium vase and a couple of mini vases are more than enough. Here’s a simple guide:
- Use medium vases (about 20cm high and 8cm wide) for larger bouquets or flowers with long stems and high water needs.
- Use mini vases (around half that size) for short stems, small blooms, or even a single branch for a minimalist look.
Choosing the right size keeps everything in balance—no flower should feel too crowded or lost.
Matching Your Vase to Your Home
Now for the fun part—styling! Where we place the vase and how it fits into our home matters just as much as what’s inside it. Here are some tips:
- Living Room Charm: A glass vase on a shelf, cabinet, or beside the sofa adds a soft, elegant touch. Match it with other decorations like books or candles for a cozy look.
- Warm Welcomes: The living room is where guests gather, so a larger bouquet in a bold vase can make a strong, cheerful statement.
- Harmonious Design: Whether we use ceramic, colored glass, or clear designs, the key is matching the vase with our home’s overall style. This creates a space that feels intentional and full of life.
What We’ve Learned Together?
At the end of the day, picking the right vase comes down to three key points: practical material, simple colors, and the right size. Add a bit of our personal style, and voilà—we’ve got a beautiful, welcoming home space without much effort.
- Remember: we don’t need to overthink it. Even a single flower in the right vase can lift our mood and make a corner feel alive.
So Lykkers, are you ready to try it out?
Look around your space, grab a vase that fits, and start small. You might be surprised how something so simple can bring such joy.
