How to Style Your Vases at Home
Not sure how to display vases in the home? Here are some expert styling tips to help you make the most of your vases:
Mix & Match
Pair minimalist design vases with ornate porcelain vases to create a visually interesting arrangement. Mixing textures, heights, and colours can add depth and personality to your décor.
Layering Heights
Use tabletop planters alongside hanging flower pots to create a dynamic display. Taller vases can serve as centrepieces, while smaller ones can be placed on shelves or coffee tables for added charm.
Seasonal Switch
Swap fresh flowers for dried botanicals during colder months. Rustic wooden containers with pampas grass or vintage floral containers with eucalyptus can add warmth and cosiness to your home.
Create a Statement Piece
For a bold look, choose an oversized luxury vase collection piece and let it stand alone as a focal point in your entryway or living room. Fill it with tall branches, oversized blooms, or sculptural elements for an elegant effect.

FAQ
Vases for Sale
It’s a styling principle that says group items in odd numbers—especially threes—for arrangements that feel balanced but not boring. With vases, mix height, shape, and texture to create a soft triangle: one tall anchor, one medium, one small. Leave a little negative space around the cluster and—if the surface is large—corral them on a tray or stack of books to read as a single “visual unit.” Designers rely on this “rule of three” because our eyes find odd-number groupings more dynamic than pairs.
It’s the same odd-number principle scaled up. On a console or mantel, arrange 3, 5, or 7 pieces (vases, candlesticks, objets) and vary height, volume, and finish so the composition steps up and down rather than sitting on a straight line. Use the largest piece off-center as a focal point, then “stair-step” supporting items to one side. The result feels curated instead of cluttered.
Absolutely. A sculptural vase can stand alone like a small piece of art. To make emptiness feel intentional:
- Choose statement silhouettes (amphora, gourd, oversized cylinder).
- Group two or three on a shelf for form-and-shadow play.
- Seasonally, drop in a single branch or dried stem for subtle movement.
Empty doesn’t mean unfinished—it’s negative space that lets your room breathe.
Designers use 3:5:8 in two helpful ways:
- Proportion & spacing: Groupings within an arrangement (and the spaces between them) often look best when their visual “weight” follows a 3:5:8 progression—small, medium, large—so the eye moves naturally.
- Stem mix: A practical recipe for bouquets—3 focal blooms, 5 fillers, and 8 greenery stems—keeps impact, volume, and texture in harmony (adapt the counts for size).
Outside of décor, “the broken (or shattered) vase” is a psychology metaphor: after a break (trauma or breach of trust), you can try to glue life back exactly as it was—cracks remain—or build something new and resilient. In interiors, a related idea is kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing pottery with lacquer and gold, celebrating the mended seams instead of hiding them. Both concepts value growth and visible repair.
Use three hues in a 60–30–10 ratio: 60% dominant (walls/large furniture), 30% secondary (textiles/secondary furniture), 10% accent (art/accessories…hello, vases). It keeps palettes cohesive while leaving room for personality.
There isn’t one “best”—match shape to stems and setting:
- Cylinder: great for long-stemmed roses, lilies, and branches.
- Hourglass/ginger jar: supports mixed bouquets; the neck gathers stems.
- Compote/pedestal: low, romantic centerpieces that won’t block sightlines.
- Bud vase: single stems on nightstands and place settings.
- Trumpet/collar: dramatic, formal looks.
Choosing the right silhouette makes arranging easier and your flowers last longer.
As a proportion guide, place objects so they span about two-thirds of the surface they relate to—classic for art over a sofa (art width ≈ 2/3 of the sofa). You can apply the idea to coffee tables vs. sofas and vignettes on long consoles so pieces feel grounded but not oversized.
For most bouquets, let flower height be roughly 1.5–2× the vase height (or flip it: vase ≈ ½–⅔ of stem length). For dining tables, keep overall height low enough for conversation; for floor vases with branches, go taller and heavier for stability. Mouth width matters too: narrow for upright stems (tulips, roses), wider for fluffy blooms (peonies, hydrangeas).
Think scale & proportion (does it fit), balance & rhythm (how pieces relate and lead the eye), and contrast & texture (matte vs. glossy, smooth vs. ribbed). Keep those three in mind and most styling choices—including your vases—fall into place.ies.
