For those who want to change their interior, there are a lot of different decoration items and techniques. But among the many accessories there is one that never goes out of fashion, does not lose its relevance and allows you to change the look of your home in a matter of minutes: these are decorative floor vases.
Correctly selected, a vase can add elegance, originality, expressiveness to the interior, make it brighter and more noticeable. This is one of the easiest ways to transform an apartment in the shortest possible time and at low cost..
Floor vases in the interior usually play the role of decorative accents, but they can also carry a functional load, for example, such a vase can serve as the basis for a floor lamp. The shapes, colors, patterns, coverings of such vases can be so diverse that it is hardly possible to even list them..
Selection rules
If you decide that a vase on the floor will become a decorative accent of the room, remember a few simple rules for choosing such a decoration..
A place. Like all volumetric decor items, vases like to have enough space allocated to them. And the larger the size (both height and volume) of the vase itself, the more space it requires. If a vase is blocked from view by furniture, it loses its meaning. Look for open spaces for a vase, usually a corner free of furniture, or a gap in the wall between a window and a low piece of furniture, such as a sofa or bed..
Colour. Floor vases in the interior, as a rule, have contrasting colors. For example, with white walls, the color of the vase can be black, and vice versa. Shades close to the background are not recommended, since the vase will “get lost” in space. But the main condition: the color must be in harmony with the interior..
Filling. Putting flowers or other decorative elements in a vase is up to you. It all depends on your idea. An empty vase itself is a decoration, and if it is decorated with a bright pattern, then the flowers may be “unnecessary”. You can put dry branches or compositions of dried flowers in them.
More modest in decoration, floor decorative vases can contain both natural flowers and indoor plants in pots.
The form. An interesting shape in itself will give your interior an originality. Round, conical, rectangular, cylindrical, like a cup, pot, cone – any shape.
But if you decide to supplement this decorative element with some kind of composition, keep in mind that a lush, voluminous vase on the floor looks good with complex compositions of both fresh flowers and dry branches..
But in a narrow and long vase, one flower or one branch of an ornamental plant will look much better..
Material. Floor decorative vases can be made of any material. Glass, porcelain, metal, wood, leather, ceramics, plant roots, bamboo, plastic and even old newspapers – it all depends on your desire. Vases with built-in lighting are especially original..
Floor vases in the interior should play a certain role, and before buying, you should understand what you expect from them. Different rooms may have different vases, and not only in color, shape or material, but also in their function. For example, in the living room there is a vase-floor lamp, in the bedroom there is a vase that hides indoor plants, and in the kitchen there is a vase with fresh flowers. The main condition is that they must all be in harmony with the environment..
Vases on the floor can turn your kitchen into a real greenhouse, and turn a loggia into a blooming garden. This is not only beautiful, but also good for health: plants retain dust on their leaves, which would otherwise settle in our lungs, cleanse the air of harmful impurities released by furniture and penetrate from the street, add oxygen to it.
