Large vases with artificial plants are real eye-catchers that add character and personality to any room. Attractive large vase decorations can enhance rooms, emphasize the ambiance, and add seasonal accents. In this article, you'll learn how to decorate your large vase and achieve an elegant, long-lasting effect with simple means.
Decorating a large vase: color and style advice
Whether modern glass or rustic ceramic, a vase is part of the overall interior design concept and shouldn't be viewed in isolation. Colors, materials, and shapes also play a key role in choosing the right artificial flowers and should blend harmoniously into the overall look.
Which vase for which room?
Every room has different requirements for a vase. In the living room, a large vase can be opulent, for example, with pampas grass or branches. In the hallway, however, a slender, tall vase with subtle artificial plants is a welcoming focal point. Bedrooms benefit from calming colors and soft shapes, while in the kitchen or bathroom, more compact versions are preferred.
- Living room: A large vase becomes a stylish eye-catcher – ideally placed in the corner of the room or next to the sofa.
- Hallway: Slim floor vases with subtle fillings look inviting and add elegance to the entrance area.
- Bedroom: Calming colors and natural materials create a harmonious atmosphere for more peace and quiet.
- Kitchen: Compact vases or glass containers with artificial flowers or herbs add fresh accents without much maintenance.
- Bathrooms: Moisture-resistant materials and simple arrangements bring freshness to small spaces.
Matching color accents for every mood
Colors significantly influence the effect of a room. Warm tones like rust, mustard, or terracotta create a cozy atmosphere, while cool colors like blue or gray exude calm. Those who prefer a modern look opt for monochrome or high-contrast combinations. For seasonal decorations, bold accent colors like spring green, summer yellow, or winter red can be used.
Artificial flowers for the desired ambience
Anyone planning to decorate a large vase should choose suitable artificial plants in advance. High-quality artificial flowers are now almost indistinguishable from real ones. They not only offer visual variety but also advantages in terms of care and durability.
Artificial bamboo : Brings Asian flair and clean lines to modern living concepts. Especially suitable for living rooms, bathrooms, or offices.
Artificial olive tree : It adds a Mediterranean flair to any room and its delicate leaves create a natural and stylish look. Perfect for both modern and rustic interiors.
Artificial eucalyptus : A true all-rounder for understated, Scandinavian-inspired decorations. The delicate, silvery-green leaves create a fresh and elegant look, making them perfect for your living room, office, or hallway.
Ficus Benjamini artificial plant : A classic houseplant look with dense foliage. This artificial version adds decorative accents to living spaces and offices.
Artificial fiddle-leaf fig : With its glossy leaves, the fiddle-leaf fig is particularly striking. It's ideal as a solitary plant in large vases for minimalist living spaces and offices.
Artificial money tree : A symbol of prosperity and tranquility—a real eye-catcher with or without a braided trunk. Particularly suitable for study rooms, living rooms, or offices.
Decorating a large vase – 5 simple tips for a long-lasting decoration
With the following 5 tips, you can decorate large vases easily.
1. Material and dimensions
Pay attention to the interplay between the vase and the space. A very large vase takes up space and looks ideal in open corners or next to furniture. Transparent glass adds lightness, while stone conveys a rustic flair. The key is to ensure the vase is neither too bulky nor too small.
2. Different heights
When decorating your large vase, varying heights add depth to the arrangement. Combine long branches with shorter flowers or use different sized decorative vases to create targeted accents.
Insider tip: The "rule of odd elements" is a popular principle in interior design and decoration. For example, three main branches and two filler flowers appear more natural than completely symmetrical arrangements.
3. Ready-made designs or create your own
Ready-made decoration sets offer a quick, coordinated style and are ideal for busy people. Those who value creative freedom can get hands-on with the decor. Craft your own dried flower bouquets, combine natural finds, or add personal touches with colorful ribbons and pendants.
4. The right filling
The interior of the vase also deserves attention. Decorative stones, wood chips, or colored sand not only serve to hold the stems in place, but also significantly influence the overall effect. Transparent glass particularly benefits from color-coordinated fillings, while textured materials such as artificial moss can also be interesting for opaque vases.
5. Proper care
To ensure your large vase decorations remain beautiful for a long time, regular care is essential. Therefore, artificial flowers should be dusted occasionally, glass vases should be cleaned inside, and natural materials should be replaced with the seasons.
For artificial plants:
- Dust regularly with a dry microfiber cloth.
- If heavily soiled, wipe with a slightly damp cloth.
- Do not expose to direct sunlight
- Do not place near heat sources or in damp rooms without ventilation.
