Vases: Stylish Accents for Flowers and Interior

Vases are not only functional items for displaying flowers, but also beautiful decorative pieces that can instantly transform a space. Whether you want to display a bouquet of fresh flowers or simply add a stylish element to your interior, a well-chosen vase makes all the difference. At De Plantenboer you will find a wide range of vases in different styles, materials and sizes, suitable for every space and every type of flower. In this text you can read all about the benefits of vases, the different types and how you can use them to beautify your interior.

What is a vase?

A vase is a container, usually made of materials such as glass, ceramic, metal, or plastic, that is used to hold flowers. Vases are designed to hold water and support flowers, but they can also serve as decorative objects in their own right. Vases come in a variety of shapes and styles, from sleek and minimalist designs to large, statement pieces that act as focal points in a room. In addition to holding flowers, vases can also be used to hold dried flowers, artificial flowers, or even as decoration without any contents.

The benefits of vases

Decorative value
Vases instantly add style and elegance to any space. Whether filled with flowers or not, vases are decorative objects in their own right that can serve as accents in your interior. By choosing a vase that matches your interior style, you can make a subtle or striking addition that enhances the overall atmosphere in your home.

Functionality
The primary purpose of a vase is to place and present flowers. They ensure that flowers remain standing and receive sufficient water to stay fresh for longer. A good vase supports the flowers in the right way and ensures that they come into their own.

Versatility
Vases are incredibly versatile and can be used in a variety of ways. Whether you choose a large bouquet of fresh flowers, dried flowers or even artificial flowers, the right vase ensures that the flowers are always presented at their best. In addition, vases can also serve as freestanding decoration, without flowers in them.

Suitable for any room
Whether you’re looking for a small vase for a sideboard or a large vase as a focal point on the dining table, vases come in all shapes and sizes to suit any room in your home. From classic glass vases to modern ceramic designs, there’s a vase to suit your interior and preferences.

Popular materials for vases


At De Plantenboer we offer a wide range of vases, each made from different materials that offer their own unique look and benefits:

Glass: Glass vases are timeless and fit almost any interior. They are transparent, leaving the stems of the flowers visible, which gives an elegant and light look. Glass vases are perfect for modern and minimalist interiors.

Ceramics : Ceramic vases have a luxurious look and come in a variety of colors, shapes, and finishes. They are more robust than glass vases and add a warm, earthy feel to your interior. Ceramics are ideal for both classic and modern spaces.

Metal: Metal vases have a tough, industrial look and are perfect for modern, contemporary interiors. They are durable and lightweight, and can be combined well with other decorative elements in the home.

Plastic : Plastic vases are lightweight and easy to move, and are often a more economical option. They come in a variety of colours and shapes, and are ideal for outdoor use or for families with children where safety is a concern.

How do you choose the right vase?

When choosing the right vase for your flowers or as a decorative item, there are a number of factors you should take into account:

Format
The size of the vase should match the flowers you want to place in it. For a large, voluminous bouquet, a wide, stable vase is ideal. For a smaller, slimmer bouquet, you should choose a narrow vase. The size of the vase should also match the space in which it is placed.

Style and material
Choose a vase that matches the style of your interior. For a modern, sleek interior, glass or metal vases are often a good choice. For a more rustic or classic atmosphere, you can better choose ceramic or earthenware. The material also determines the appearance of the flowers and how they are presented.

Colour
The colour of the vase should complement both the flowers and the rest of your interior. Neutral colours such as white, grey and transparent glass are versatile and fit into any interior, while colourful vases can serve as eye-catching focal points.
