The Four Types of Vases Everyone Should Own

Kevin Lessy

Spring is here, and as everything is beginning bloom, it’s the perfect time to introduce fresh florals into your home. Whether they come from your garden or the local grocer, make sure you have the perfect vessel ready. We rounded up the four vessels that are essential in our books. These versatile vase types cater to a wide range of floral arrangements, from single-stemmed beauties to grand, towering displays. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or a budding amateur, this guide will help you elevate your flower game and create stunning, eye-catching centerpieces to suit any occasion. Take a look at how these four indispensable styles can transform your floral displays.

1. Narrow-Mouthed Vase

CONNECTED GOODS

A narrow-mouthed vase effortlessly complements impromptu floral displays. Its narrow opening lends itself to not having to fuss much with the arrangement, allowing for a more carefree approach to arranging your blooms. Which is ideal when hosting, as it allows for a stunning centerpiece without requiring extensive preparation or attention to detail. Narrow-mouthed vases may pose a challenge for multi-stemmed flower arrangements, but they excel when it comes to showcasing single stems with large blooms, such as sunflowers.

2. Tall Vase

If you’re working with larger bouquets or tall, sculptural branches and foliage, aim for a taller vase that can handle the size. Vases that are about 18” tall seem to be the sweet spot for these types of arrangements. These vases offer the necessary support and balance, helping you create a stunning display of nature’s grandeur. With the right vessel, you can arrange your flowers and branches in a way that highlights their majestic beauty and creates a harmonious, eye-catching centerpiece.

3. Multi-Use Vase

TORY BURCH

We love a multi-use product, like a pitcher to bring a unique versatility to your home decor. Not only can they serve your go-to beverages with style, but they also add a touch of personality to your shelves when displayed. The real magic happens, though, when you repurpose a pitcher as a vase, giving it a fresh, lively twist that breathes new life into your space. With just a simple switch, your pitcher becomes a charming vessel for your favorite blooms, quickly enhancing the ambiance in any room.

4. Statement Vase

HAY DESIGN

An eye-catching statement vase can transform a modest flower arrangement into a stunning one. Better yet a decorative vase can complement your home, with or without flowers. By choosing the right statement vase, you elevate the overall aesthetic and create a focal point for any room. These versatile decorative pieces not only showcase your personal style but also enhance the beauty of your floral arrangements, turning even the simplest of blooms into a captivating centerpiece.
