Decorative Vases FAQ

The right home decor can make a space feel polished and complete. From clocks to throw pillows, decorative home accents help create a cohesive look and tie a room together. If you need a candleholder or a simple way to display fresh-cut flowers, decorative vases offer an easy way to add style, texture, and personality to your home. The best vase for your space depends on your room, decor style, preferred material, and how you plan to use it. If you still have questions, this Ashley FAQ section can help you compare vase materials, styling ideas, and care tips before you buy.

How to arrange decorative vases?

Group decorative vases by mixing height, shape, or material, and leave enough space so the display looks balanced. Start with one larger vase, then add one or two smaller ones nearby for a clean, intentional look.

For a cohesive arrangement, focus on three basics:
  • Vary height for dimension
  • Mix shapes for visual interest
  • Repeat colors or materials for a unified look
A simple guideline is to use vases in groups of two or three on shelves, mantels, console tables, or dining tables. On larger surfaces, spread them out to fill the space without making it feel crowded. On smaller surfaces, keep the grouping simple and compact.

You can also style decorative vases based on the look you want:
  • Ceramic vases add softness and texture
  • Glass vases make a space feel lighter and more open
  • Metal vases add contrast and a modern touch
For a more personalized display, add dried stems, fresh flowers, or branches, or leave some vases empty for a sculptural look. Mixing filled and unfilled vases can make the arrangement feel more natural.

If you're exploring options for your home, Ashley's decorative vases come in a range of styles, shapes, and materials to suit different rooms and decor preferences. Whether you need a simple shelf accent or a larger piece for a table or mantel, the collection can help create a polished, personalized look.

What's the difference between glass and ceramic vases?

When choosing a decorative vase, the main choice is often glass or ceramic. The right one depends on the look you want, how you plan to use it, and how much upkeep you prefer.

Glass Vases

A glass vase works well when you want a space to feel light and open. Its transparency makes it a good fit for smaller rooms, bright windowsills, kitchen counters, and open shelves. It also suits modern, minimalist, coastal, and casual decor styles.

Glass comes in several finishes. Clear glass is a flexible option for everyday flowers. Colored or tinted glass adds subtle interest. Frosted glass keeps some of the airy look of glass while hiding stems and water.

Ceramic Vases

Ceramic is often heavier than thin glass, which can make it more stable for top-heavy arrangements.

Because ceramic is opaque, it fully hides stems and water. That makes it a practical choice if you want a vase to look tidy with less daily attention. It is also useful for top-heavy or artificial plants and flowers, or for arrangements using flower frogs or tape. Ceramic works especially well in spots where the vase is seen up close, such as coffee tables, bedside tables, bookshelves, or office desks.

Ceramic also fits many decor styles depending on the finish. Matte or textured ceramic suits farmhouse, rustic, earthy, and Scandinavian-inspired spaces. Glossy ceramic works well in polished, contemporary, or transitional rooms. Hand-painted or detailed ceramic pieces often work best as accent decor in entryways, living rooms, or styled shelves.

Where should I place decorative vases in my home?

Where you place a vase decor piece depends on its size and your room layout. The goal is to make it stand out without getting in the way. If you want inspiration, you can check Ashley website or an in-store experience to see how different vase sizes and shapes work in real spaces

The entryway

An entryway console table is a practical spot for a decorative vase. Since it is one of the first things people see, a vase can help set the tone for the space. A medium or large ceramic vase with tall stems or seasonal branches works well here. If there is a mirror above the table, place the vase slightly off-center for balance.

The living room

The living room offers several good spots for vase placement.
  • The coffee table: Choose a vase that does not block sightlines across the seating area. A wide, low vase or a small group of short bud vases usually works best.
  • Shelving and bookcases: Empty vases can break up rows of books and add texture. A ceramic vase also brings in a simple sculptural element.
  • Floor placements: Floor vases are made to sit directly on the ground. Place one in an empty corner to fill unused space, or next to a TV console to soften hard furniture lines.
The dining room

For a dining table, vase placement depends on how the table is used. When the table is not in use, a larger vases arrangement can create a clear focal point. During meals, tall arrangements can block conversation. In that case, use several small, low vases down the center so everyone can see across the table.

How do I style decorative vases?

Styling a vase starts with one choice: fill it or leave it empty. The best approach depends on the vase's shape and material.

Styling with fresh flowers

Fresh flowers are the most common choice. For a balanced arrangement, match the size of the bouquet to the vase opening.
  • Narrow-neck vases: Best for a single stem, a small cluster of blooms, or a few branches. The narrow opening helps stems stay upright.
  • Wide-mouth vases: Need more flowers to look full. A small bouquet will spread out and leave empty space in the center. Use enough stems to create a rounded shape just above the rim.
Styling with dried botanicals

Dried botanicals offer a natural look with less upkeep. Pampas grass, dried eucalyptus, and curly willow add height and texture. They pair especially well with matte ceramic vases, where the organic materials complement the earthy finish. Since dried stems do not need water, they also work well in large floor vases decor.

Styling empty vases

A vase does not need filler to look intentional. Many decorative vases work well as sculptural accents on their own, especially if they have a distinct shape, color, or texture.

For more impact, group empty vases together. A simple approach is the rule of three: place three vases in varying heights and complementary colors on a mantel or side table.

How do I clean decorative vases?

Proper vase care keeps decorative vases clean and helps fresh flowers last longer. The right cleaning method depends on the vase's material and shape. Always check the manufacturer's cleaning guide before proceeding.

Basic cleaning for glass and ceramic
  • Fill the vase halfway with warm water and a few drops of mild dish soap.
  • Wipe the inside and outside with a soft sponge or cloth.
  • Rinse well with clean, warm water.
  • Dry the outside with a lint-free microfiber cloth.
Cleaning narrow-neck vases
  • Use a long-handled bottle brush to clean the bottom and sides without reaching inside.
Removing hard water stains
  • Cloudy white rings are usually mineral deposits from hard water.
  • Pour white vinegar into the vase until it covers the stains.
  • Let it sit for a few hours.
  • For tougher spots, add a spoonful of baking soda.
  • Scrub lightly with a bottle brush, then wash with soap and warm water.
  • Dry with a lint-free cloth.
Cleaning metal vases
  • Empty the vase and remove water, leaves, or debris.
  • Wipe the inside and outside with a soft cloth, warm water, and a small amount of mild dish soap.
  • Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh cleaners that can scratch the finish.
  • Store metal vases in a dry area to help protect the finish.
