How to Choose the Perfect Vase for Any Space
Fresh flowers have a way of transforming a room. They add color, texture, and life in a way few other decorative accents can. But here’s a design secret: the vase matters just as much as the blooms. The right vase doesn’t just hold flowers — it elevates them, creates balance, and becomes a design element in its own right.
Fresh flowers have a way of transforming a room. They add color, texture, and life in a way few other decorative accents can. But here’s a design secret: the vase matters just as much as the blooms. The right vase doesn’t just hold flowers — it elevates them, creates balance, and becomes a design element in its own right.
Whether you’re arranging a single stem on your nightstand or styling a full bouquet in the entryway, choosing the right vase makes all the difference. Below, we’ll walk through how to select the perfect vase for every space in your home.
Think About the Room & Placement
Every room calls for a different type of vase. Ask yourself: where will this piece live, and how will it be used?
Living Room → A coffee table or mantel is the perfect place for a statement vase. Go for something with height or sculptural interest that draws the eye, even when it’s not filled with flowers.
Bedroom → A small bud vase on a nightstand adds a soft, personal touch without overwhelming the space. A single bloom or sprig of greenery is all you need.
Kitchen → Keep it simple and functional. A glass or ceramic vase on the counter or a shelf pairs well with everyday arrangements like herbs or seasonal stems.
Entryway → A tall vase with branches or a dramatic bouquet sets the tone for your home. It’s a small detail that makes a big first impression.
Match the Vase Shape to Your Arrangement
The relationship between flowers and vase shape is key.
Tall & Narrow → Ideal for long stems such as lilies, gladiolus, or sunflowers.
Wide & Round → Works beautifully with fuller bouquets like hydrangeas or peonies.
Bud Vases → Best for single stems or minimalist styling. Perfect when you want a delicate touch.
Unusual Shapes → Think asymmetrical or angular designs. These vases can double as sculptural décor when not in use, adding personality to your space.
Consider Materials & Style
Just as with furniture and accessories, the material of your vase can shift the mood of a room.
Glass → Classic, versatile, and perfect for letting stems show through.
Ceramic or Stoneware → Adds warmth and texture. These are especially beautiful in modern rustic or artisan-inspired spaces.
Metallic → Bold and contemporary, metallic vases make a striking statement on their own.
When it comes to color, neutrals blend seamlessly into most décor, while bold hues turn the vase itself into a focal point.
Think Beyond Fresh Flowers
A vase doesn’t need to be filled with fresh blooms to earn its place in your home. Some of the most stylish displays are created with alternatives:
Dried flowers or branches that last season after season.
Pampas grass for an on-trend, textural look.
A grouping of empty vases in different shapes and heights styled together on a shelf or console table.
The key is to view vases not only as functional objects, but as decorative accents that can bring character to a room all year long.
Final Thoughts
Choosing the right vase is about more than finding something to hold flowers — it’s about creating harmony between your arrangement and your space. From sculptural centerpieces to petite bedside accents, the right vase elevates your home and makes everyday moments feel special.

How to Transition Your Décor from Summer to Fall
As the days grow shorter and the air takes on a crisp edge, our homes can reflect that same shift in the seasons. Moving from summer’s breezy brightness to fall’s cozy warmth doesn’t require a full makeover — just a few thoughtful updates. With the right colors, textures, and accents, you can create a home that feels inviting and autumn-ready.
As the days grow shorter and the air takes on a crisp edge, our homes can reflect that same shift in the seasons. Moving from summer’s breezy brightness to fall’s cozy warmth doesn’t require a full makeover — just a few thoughtful updates. With the right colors, textures, and accents, you can create a home that feels inviting and autumn-ready.
Here are four simple ways to transition your décor from summer to fall.
1. Swap Bright Colors for Warm Tones
Summer is all about fresh, airy hues, but fall calls for richer shades that bring depth and comfort. Think rust, mustard, olive, deep browns, and golden ambers. An easy way to introduce these tones is through soft accents like throw pillows, blankets, or a framed print with autumnal hues. These subtle swaps set the mood instantly.
2. Layer Cozy Textures
Fall décor is as much about feel as it is about look. Replace lightweight linens with chunky knits, velvet pillows, or a wool throw. Add woven rugs or textured ceramics to anchor a space. Layering textures creates a sense of warmth and comfort that makes your home the perfect retreat from cooler evenings.
3. Bring Nature Indoors
Seasonal botanicals are one of the most effective ways to shift your décor. Instead of bright summer blooms, style with dried flowers, pampas grass, or autumn branches. Acorns, pinecones, or mini gourds can be grouped in bowls or vases for a playful touch. Even a single sculptural vase filled with branches can signal the change in season.
4. Add Warm Lighting & Candles
As daylight fades earlier, lighting takes center stage. Add soft ambient light with table lamps, sconces, or fairy lights. Candles — whether real or LED — bring a cozy glow while also filling the room with seasonal fragrances like pumpkin spice, cinnamon, or cedar. It’s a small change with a big impact.
Final Thoughts
Transitioning your home from summer to fall is about more than decoration — it’s about creating a space that feels aligned with the season. With just a few swaps in color, texture, and accessories, your home can reflect autumn’s beauty while staying true to your personal style.
