A vase is the most rewarding decorative object: it acts as a sculpture when empty and as an eye-catcher when filled, and it can be rearranged with just a few simple steps. Eichholtz vases feature crystal, smoked glass, ceramic, marble, and brass, ranging from slender solitaire vases to bulbous vessels.
Vases as objects, not just vessels
Most vases stand empty for the longest time. Therefore, choose shapes that stand on their own: a clear silhouette, a visible material, a size that asserts itself against the room. A large vase on the floor next to the console is often more effective than three small ones on the table.
Systematic grouping
Three vases of different heights but the same material appear calm and deliberate. Vases of the same height placed next to each other, however, look like a row. Stick to odd numbers and leave space between the objects. On a console table, the vase serves as the vertical anchor, while flat bowls provide the counterpoint next to it.
Flowers, branches, or nothing
A slender solitaire vase calls for a few long stems, while a bulbous shape suits a full bouquet. As a rule of thumb, the height of the flowers should be approximately one and a half times the height of the vase. If you do not wish to buy fresh flowers weekly, opt for artificial flowers and greenery: large branches and leaves appear more convincing than small, intricate blossoms.
Material and care
Crystal and glass benefit from backlighting but require cleanliness, as every water stain remains visible. Brass vessels should be fitted with an insert if water is to be placed inside. Ceramic and marble are more resilient and add weight to a group. Complementing these, candle holders and hurricane lamps can extend the same material language.
Frequently Asked Questions
How tall should flowers be in relation to the vase?
Approximately one and a half times the height of the vase. Shorter stems appear stunted, while significantly longer ones disrupt the proportion.
How many vases should I arrange together?
Three of different heights, in the same material. Odd numbers appear calmer than even ones.
Do artificial flowers look cheap?
Not if you choose large branches, grasses, and leaves. Small, intricate blossoms reveal themselves more quickly than green forms.
