How to Choose Perfect Decorative Vases for Your Home
Flowers bring vitality, color and energy to any home, particularly when they are paired with appropriate decorative vases. Whether your home is traditional, contemporary, casual or elegant, it will benefit from the perfect floral arrangement. Luckily, you don't have to be an expert interior designer to choose the perfect flowers and vase to accent your home. You only need to be aware of the types of arrangements that fit best with your home's style.
Does your home boast of impressive architecture, high ceilings, expansive front doors, and rooms that are decorated in their own individual style? If so, your home is a "Classic Traditional" home. Classic furniture, including antiques with luxurious tapestries and brocades, calls for classic arrangements in vases that sparkle. A mixture of roses, carnations, lilies or other elegant flowers in a crystal, porcelain, or shiny metal vase will enhance a "Classic Traditional" home.
Perhaps your home is highly regarded for its cool elegance and interesting forms-a style called "Modern Contemporary." The industrial accents, such as glass, steel, and leather, in your home will benefit from colorful, exotic flowers, such as callas and orchids. Vases made of frosted glass, pottery, or any sort of metal will lend the flowers a modern air.
Are you all about ribbons and lace, soft fabrics and soft colors? Would you describe your house as a Romantic love nest? Houses that portray such delicacy and emotion are labeled "Victorian." Owners can enhance their home's sensuality with light-colored flowers that smell pretty, including lavender and roses. Pick a sterling silver, crystal, or glass vase that adds light and elegance the floral arrangement.
Is your home decorated with a minimum of fuss, utilizing natural fabrics, fibers and woods? Do you value comfort than elegance in your home? If so, then your home can be described as "Casual Easy Living." Homes like these that emphasize balance and a connection to nature will benefit from wildflowers or natural green plants like ivy displayed in a basket. Cut flowers that are simple, like sunflowers, in simple glass vases, metal pitchers, or earthenware will also add to the appeal of a casual house.
Finally, do you love to fill your homes with antiques, family heirlooms, or other simple, rustic crafts? Do you prefer to use a simple wooden crate as a footrest rather than an upholstered vinyl footrest? If your home is focused on down-home comfort, then its style is "American Country." A mixture of pretty spring flowers like heather or yarrow in an unobtrusive vase or simple basket are a perfect fit for such an ambience.
Whether your home is "Modern Contemporary" or "American Country," pretty flowers in decorative vases will add instant appeal to any room of your house.
