Be@Home - Decor and Design

Glass vases can add a dramatic effect to your interiors. Displaying fresh flowers have always added a fresh and nice feel to the décor of the home. You may have a single stalk in transparent glass vases or a bunch of your favorite flowers in beautiful glass vases. The size and shape of the vase that you use will make a difference to the ambiance created.

Glass vases add charm and elegance to any space in your home this Christmas season. With a little creativity, glass vases can be used very differently to create varied effects. Here are some tips on how you could use your beautiful glass vases around the house:

• A large vase with a big bunch of flowers would make an ideal centerpiece for your living room or the dining table, especially during the holidays. Christmas dinner will look a lot better with a lovely holiday inspired floral centerpiece on the dining room table.
• Cylinder Vases can be used differently to create a nice feel. You could fill the large cylinder vase with layers of sand, colorful pebbles, dry flowers or even spices for a great layered effect and an attractive piece for display on your table or shelf. The cylinder vases can also be used as holders for beautiful and colorful gel candles. They make wonderful candle holders. These glass vases can be used to display a stalk or two of lovely big flowers. The transparent effect gives it a very fresh appeal.
• Glass vases like the Simon Pearce Dover Footed Glass Vase can be filled with water and a cut flower can be placed at the top after cutting off the stalk. You may even have a floating candle and some small flowers placed in rectangular or square transparent glass vases.
• Moving from the clear glass vases to the colored glass vases, this 8 inch Ultramarine Glass Vase makes any arrangement of fresh or dry flowers look beautiful with the contrast offered by the brilliant ultramarine colored glass. They look beautiful on side tables and can add a dramatic effect to your interiors.
• Mission Style Glass Vase and west elm Artisanal Olive Short Glass Vase are just some of the glass vases that fit in any décor and bring alive the space with their beauty and elegance.
