The functional purpose of a vase in the house is ambiguous. If in other times a vase was taken from a shelf when it was necessary to place flowers, today its use is much wider. It is functional in nature and serves as a decorative element. The vase creates a festive mood that is associated with its appearance. With the help of a beautiful, elegant attribute, you can fill the existing void and place a key emphasis on the style of the room, made of discreet tones. The options for use are countless and everything depends only on the imagination and taste preferences of the owner.

What types of vases are there

By their nature, vases are divided according to functionality and types of materials used for production, which are characterized by distinctive features and parameters. According to the type of purpose, vases are divided into the following types:

• for flowers;
• for fruits;

The basics of proper placement

When faced with the difficult choice of a vase for your home, you should think in advance about the place where to put it. If your attention is drawn to a vase with a height higher than 50 cm, the best way to place it would be the corner of the room. There the product will be quite noticeable, but will not get in the way underfoot. If the object you like requires desktop placement, consider the conditions of future use - flowers can be placed on tables, window sills, chests of drawers and other home furniture. If you plan to buy a vase for decoration or fruit, a wall shelf or rack would be a good location. The color scheme of the decorating item is also a significant factor. As a rule, the tonality sets the condition for placing the product. An apartment with calm shades will be the best option for a bright-colored vase, which will add a bright accent to the interior and allow you to add some zest to the overall concept. But at the same time, it is important that the room matches any decorative element of a similar tone, otherwise the purchased vase may look too provocative. According to aesthetic rules, the design of the room must be done taking into account the overall tone of the room. Increased attention is paid to all areas of the room, decorative items and furniture. Therefore, when choosing decorating elements, it is worth choosing tones that suit the overall picture, then they will be able to emphasize the style and taste of the owner of the house. Similar requirements apply to the shape of the product and the method of its use. For classic solutions, the best option would be vases of a familiar shape - medium-height tabletop type. For more modern interiors, you should select models with improved stylistic solutions that are subject to fashion trends. Non-standard combinations of products with design ideas, which in practice look quite original, are also not excluded.

Features of choice

In order not to make a mistake with your purchase, you need to be guided by simple, uncomplicated selection rules, with the help of which the vase will look like it belongs in its original place. They look like this:

1. For bright flowers, it is optimal to use calm tones of the vase, which will not overshadow the beautiful bouquet. This criterion is important to take into account, otherwise the flowerpot will be lost against the background of the painted container.
2. If the room is small in size and located on the north side, floor-standing glass vessels used as containers for flowers or as free-standing decorative elements would be an excellent choice. Thanks to the properties of glass, such vases will add airiness to a cramped space.
3. A square or oval vase shape is optimal for placing decorative stones and sands. In practice, in such products, beautiful curiosities look very delicate and add a touch of grace.
4. A room with a large area is a good option to accommodate a group of vases with different heights and color variations. Such a line will look good along an empty wall and, in addition to functionality, is perfect as a designer filler of free space.
5. Products made of wood or intertwined wicker will perfectly highlight Scandinavian styles, which are confidently included in the list of fashion trends. They will give the room coziness and warmth, thereby emphasizing the kinship with natural origin.
6. Rhombus-shaped vases of ceramic origin will fit perfectly into interiors filled with green spaces and will perfectly emphasize the ecology of the internal atmosphere.
