There are vases you buy simply to hold flowers, and then there are those that can transform a room on their own.
Statement vases are perfect for bringing life to a dull hallway, bare table top or even instead of artworks. If you’re looking for bold shapes, Scandi designers do it best. Look at Nordic Nest’s tall textured plant pots or the Danish design brand Broste Copenhagen’s polka dot vases.
Why buy flowers that wilt when you can buy a ceramic version instead? Moustache’s colourful sculptures are designed to look like bouquets themselves.
If you prefer glassware, Hay’s striped blue bowls will brighten up any corner, whatever you decide to put inside. Hannah Evans
