It’s often the small details that bring a room to life. One of my favourite ways to add little details are with sculptural vases. Sculptural vases can be found everywhere at the moment and there are loads of designs to choose from. Sculptural vases are, well… like mini sculptures. They look just as beautiful without flowers or greenery as they do with. They are decor objects in their own right so you never feel like you have to add stems to them.
There is so much choice out there so I thought I would share a few of my favourites that are all minimal in design and are ideal for the neutral home. Each of these vases can be placed anywhere to add a little interest to your decor. Think coffee tables, open shelves, dining table, bathroom and kitchen counters… practically anywhere that you feel needs a little something to add interest.
As always, I have included a range of ideas for every budget. The good news is that you don’t have to spend a lot to get one of these vases.
