Displaying Contemporary Decorative Vases in Your Home

Contemporary decorative vases are not only eye-catching on their own but are versatile home decor items as well.

A “contemporary-looking” vase can easily be used anywhere in your home or office, wherever you want, to showcase a clean, modern accent piece.

While many contemporary-style vases are beautiful by themselves, I think they become true works of art by adding just a few stems of more upscale-looking flowers, like orchids or calla lilies.

More traditional flowers like roses or lilies can also be used, or try adding a floating candle instead of flowers.

Another way to effectively display vases is by grouping them together, similar to the vases shown in this photo.

When grouping several different types of vases together, using one type or color of flowers will help tie it all together.

The idea of grouping vases together is a simple and easy tablescaping idea you can use for any occasion, from a dinner party to a wedding reception.

I’m pretty certain you have a similar vase or two around the house. Why not put them to use? Try a few of the designs and ideas presented here.

These easy ideas can turn a simple glass cube vase into a versatile, must-have home decor item.

Choosing the Right Contemporary Vase for any Room

What makes choosing the right vase so hard is the nearly limitless choices of designs, colors, and styles available. But that’s what also makes finding the perfect vase so rewarding.

Ceramic, glass, and hardwoods are my favorite vase materials.

Remember that not all decorative vases are designed to hold water when shopping for vases. If you use fresh flowers, ensure your vase is non-porous and won’t leak.

When choosing decorative vases, I look for unique, versatile, and functional vases. Pictured here is one of my favorites: a multi-tube ceramic vase with a perfect accent anywhere in your home or office.

These contemporary ceramic flower vases are available in various styles and colors. A new twist to the traditional bud vase, these vases are designed to hold a single or several blooms, perfect for an added dash of color where needed.

They can be mixed, matched, or combined to create a great tablescape or a perfect finishing touch on any tabletop.

Finding One-of-a-Kind Contemporary Decorative Vases

Whenever I look for an unusual decorative vase, I always check eBay. I always find a lot of decorative vases listed there, many of which are one-of-a-kind pieces.
