Decorative vases: Everyday sculptures for the home
The decorative vase has transcended its original function as a flower container to become a standalone design object. Its presence on a shelf, console, or coffee table adds verticality, texture, and an immediate focal point. Currently, the trend leans toward the honesty of materials: the roughness of terracotta, the imperfect transparency of recycled glass, or the organic warmth of papier-mâché. These pieces work well both in grouped arrangements and individually, acting as small sculptures that interact with the light and the rest of the furniture, elevating the sophistication of any room without requiring a large investment.
Typology according to material and aesthetics
| Material | Technical Specifications | Visual Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Glazed Ceramic | Waterproof, wide range of colors and finishes (matte/gloss), geometric shapes. | It provides solidity and color, ideal for modern or Nordic styles. |
| Recycled Glass | Translucency with slight air bubbles, greenish or smoky tones, organic shapes. | It plays with natural light, providing visual lightness and freshness. |
| Papier-mâché / Cardboard | Sustainable material, rough and matte texture, not suitable for water (dry use only). | It introduces a wabi-sabi and artisanal touch, perfect for dried branches or pampas grass. |
| Natural Terracotta | Porous fired clay, warm earth tones, unglazed rustic finish. | It connects with Mediterranean tradition and brings earthy warmth to the environment. |
Advantages of integrating vases into the decor
- Seasonal versatility: They allow you to change the look of a room simply by replacing the contents (fresh flowers in spring, dried branches in autumn).
- Play of scales: Combining vases of different heights (floor and tabletop) creates visual dynamism and breaks the linearity of the furniture.
- Accent of color: They are the perfect tool to introduce trendy colors into a neutral palette without committing to large pieces.
- Natural connection: They facilitate the introduction of botanical elements into the interior, improving the feeling of well-being (biophilia).
Styling and care tips
When decorating with vases, follow the rule of odds: group three pieces of different shapes that share a similar material or color. For narrow-mouthed vases, use a single sculptural branch or long-stemmed flower for a minimalist look. As for maintenance, remember that papier-mâché or unglazed vases should not be filled with water; use them only with dried flowers, or place a plastic container inside if you wish to use fresh flowers. For glass, a little vinegar in the cleaning water will remove limescale deposits and restore its shine.
Frequently asked questions about vases
-
Can I put water in an unglazed ceramic vase?
Generally not, as clay is porous and could allow moisture to seep through to the furniture surface. Use it with dried flowers or with an inner liner.
-
What size vase should I choose for a dining table?
It should be low enough not to obstruct the view between diners (max. 25-30 cm) or very tall and thin so that vision passes through.
-
How to clean the bottom of a narrow vase?
Use denture cleaning tablets or a mixture of uncooked rice, water and soap, gently shaking to remove dirt.
-
Are papier-mâché vases fragile?
They are rigid and resistant to touch, but sensitive to moisture and strong impacts; treat them like works of art.
