Glass vases: captivating design pieces
A colourful bouquet deserves a stylish vase, and even a single flower needs the right arrangement to show its beauty. A glass vase can be round or angular, creatively shaped or cylindrical, and find its own place in a room. A large glass vase can make a colourful first impression in the hallway as a floor vase, or create a welcoming arrangement with a floor lamp in the living room.

1. Glass vases and their effect on a room
A glass vase catches the eye, and its shape and colour have a significant effect on the room. A clear vase draws attention to what is inside, whether it is a colourful bouquet or a single orchid. The understated yet strikingly elegant Silent Vase by Muuto is ideal for creative arrangements. A glass vase with wooden details, such as the glass vase by Fritz Hansen, suits a bright Scandinavian interior and pairs well with light-coloured flowers in open spaces. Metal details, as found on designs by Fritz Hansen, can complement industrial and classic interiors. The Ikebana vase lives up to its name: ikebana is the Japanese art of flower arranging. It has a metal plate with holes that lets you arrange individual stems to striking effect.
2. Choosing the right shape and size
Harmony is key when choosing a glass vase for your interior. Consider both the flowers and where you plan to place it. Tall glass vases can be used as floor vases or displayed on a dining table. They suit long-stemmed flowers such as roses and lilies and have an elegant look. A cylindrical glass vase is a classic choice for the table: it holds generous bouquets while keeping a discreet profile that lets the flowers take centre stage. Round glass vases work particularly well with short-stemmed bouquets and can be placed on a dining table or sideboard. Their generous shape also makes them suitable for decorative arrangements with sand or candles. A bud vase is designed for a single flower, with a rounded body and narrow neck, sometimes with a wide tulip-shaped opening to support the bloom. The Old English bud vase by Holmegaard is a typical example, with a wide, rounded neck that displays flowers beautifully.
3. Glass vases as decorative features
Whether you are displaying a single flower, arranging a bouquet or creating a composition with branches and twigs, glass vases are versatile design objects. Three or more glass vases can make an elegant display on a dining table, especially when the flowers complement the table decorations. Matching designer vases on a sideboard or shelf create a harmonious look. The Aalto Vase Savoy by Iittala is a considered choice: the classic's curved form creates a balanced shape, while flowers in different colours add interest. The Esmeralda vase by Philippi also creates a striking effect. Its cylindrical glass shape has a rounded inner section that makes the flowers appear to float. The Cocoon vase by Holmegaard works well as bathroom decor and comes in different colours to suit your bathroom. For a fresh kitchen idea, combine small glass vases with matching plant pots. Coordinated planting helps create a harmonious look.
4. Crystal-clear shine: how to keep your glass vase looking good
Flowers look their best when the glass vase is sparkling clean. Wash it by hand and dry it carefully with a soft cloth. To remove residue from rounded designer vases, try decorative cleaning stones: swirl them around inside the vase with water until the water runs clear.
